Mikrotikls SIA METAL9HPN Users Manual

RouterBOARD Metal 9HPN

Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

The RouterBOARD Metal 9HPN is a solid, waterproof outdoor device with a high power wireless
transmitter (900MHz, 802.11b/g/n, N-Male antenna connector), and one 10/100 Ethernet connector
which supports MDI-X auto detection. The device is packaged with a 24V power adapter, a PoE
injector and two mounting loops.

First use

1. Connect the antenna to the N-Male connector

2. Use the latches to open the product case, to reveal the Ethernet connector

3. Use the provided round rubber insulator to put on the Ethernet cable, and push it into the
case opening, so that the opening is tightly closed.
To put the cable though the insulator, you have to put in the cable first, and only then
clamp on the Ethernet connector. If the connector is already on the cable, you can cut the
insulator on one side, to clamp it around the cable, but this sacrifices waterproofness.

4. The Metal accepts 12-28V Passive PoE from a PoE injector (please compensate voltage for
loss due to cable length)

5. The default IP address from Ether1 is 192.168.88.1 for configuration
Username is admin and there is no password

6. Depending on the antenna used, you must set its gain in the RouterOS software to ensure
that EIRP meets the limit set by authorities. This is done in the Wireless menu.

Powering

The board accepts powering from the Ethernet port (Passive PoE):

• Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 12-28V DC. Package contains a 24V

adapter and a PoE injector.

Maximum power consumption of the device is 12W at 24V.

Booting process

Connect to wireless SSID “MikroTik” and open 192.168.88.1 in your web browser. Username is
admin and there is no password. In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can be used to

connect to the MAC address of the device. More information here:

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup

In case you wish to boot the device from network, for example to use MikroTik Netinstall, hold the
RESET button of the device when starting it until the LED light turns off, and Metal will start to look
for Netinstall servers.

Mounting

To tighten the Metal to a pole, use the provided mounting loops. The Metal comes bundled with two
plastic and two metallic mounting loops (choose either) - guide the loops around the Metal though
the provided edge markings, and around the pole where it will be mounted. You should avoid
connecting a loose Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port - secure the cable to a wall or the pole, so
that the cable weight is not pulling the port. It is recommended to secure the Ethernet cable less
than 2m from the Metal device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by its
weight, or doesn't fall out.

Expansion Slots and Ports

• Built in 900MHz 802.11b/g/n wireless, 1x1 MIMO, station mode (AP mode for Metal

A-2SHPN)

• One 10/100 Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either

straight or cross-over cable for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 8-30V DC powering
from a passive PoE injector.

Buttons and Jumpers

• RouterOS reset jumper hole (no direct access, board has to be removed from case) – resets RouterOS software to
defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the hole (with a screwdriver, for example) and boot the device. Hold
screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared.

• RouterBOOT reset button (access through the door) has two functions:

o Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing,

release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (same result as with reset hole)

o Hold this button during boot time longer, until LED turns off,

then release it to make the device look for Netinstall servers.

Operating System Support

Currently tested operating system is MikroTik RouterOS (starting from version v5.16).

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

IMPORTANT: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation.

63 cm minimum distance has to be maintained between the antenna and the occupational user and
142 cm to general public. Under such configuration, the FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
an population/uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.

Approved antenna:

• Yagi antenna, Model RFY-0900-17B, 17 dBi

Antenna Installation. WARNING: It is installer's responsibility to ensure that when using the
authorized antennas in the United States (or where FCC rules apply); only those antennas certified
with the product are used. The use of any antenna other than those certified with the product is
expressly forbidden in accordance to FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204. The installer should configure the
output power level of antennas, according to country regulations and per antenna type. Professional
installation is required of equipment with connectors to ensure compliance with health and safety
