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.

Expansion&Slots&and&Ports&
• Built in 2GHz 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.
