MikroTik Mobile App:

The MikroTik smartphone app allows for field configuration of the router or basic initial settings for MikroTik home access points. Users can scan a QR code to choose their preferred OS, install and open the application, and by default, the IP address and username will be pre-entered.

Powering:

The device receives power via an Ethernet port (Passive PoE). Under maximum load, its power consumption is 11 W.

Connecting to a PoE Adapter:

Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the PoE+DATA port of the PoE adapter.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your local network (LAN) to the PoE adapter.
Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the power cord into a power outlet.

Configuration:

RouterOS offers extensive configuration options beyond those detailed in the manual. Users are encouraged to explore https://mt.lv/help for more possibilities. If an IP connection is unavailable, the WinBox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can connect to the device's MAC address from the LAN side (note: all access is blocked from the internet port by default).

Mounting:

The device must be mounted vertically with the Ethernet cable pointing downwards. Mounting and configuration should be performed by a qualified person. For pole mounting, the provided mounting loops should be guided around the device through the edge markings and around the pole. Electric tape can be used to increase friction between materials, and a mounting hose clamp is included.

Mounting Steps:

Guide the hose clamp through the opening on the back of the device.
Attach the device to the pole or mast.
Align and secure with a PH2 screwdriver. The device should be positioned with the antenna facing upwards. Avoid connecting a loose Ethernet cable; secure it to a wall or pole within 2m of the device to prevent strain on the port.

Important Mounting Notes:

Ensure the cable feed points downwards.
The device has an IP54 rating; Cat6 shielded cables are recommended.
Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm between the device and your body during operation. Operation in residential environments may cause radio interference.

Opening Ethernet Cover:

Release clips for both fasteners to open the cover.
Guide the Ethernet cable through the rubber seal in the cover opening.
Crimp an RJ-45 connector onto the cable and connect to the Ethernet port.

Antenna Usage:

Attach the antenna by screwing it to the connector on the device. Always connect and disconnect the antenna when the device is turned off.

Reset Button Functions:

The reset button has three functions:

Reset RouterOS Configuration: Hold during boot until the LED light flashes (approx. 5 seconds). Release to reset the configuration.
CAP Mode: Continue holding for 5 more seconds until the LED turns solid (total 10 seconds). Release to enable CAP mode, where the device searches for a CAPSMAN server.
Netinstall Servers: Continue holding for 5 more seconds until the LED turns off (total 15 seconds). Release to make the device search for Netinstall servers. If the button is pressed before power is applied, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader, useful for debugging and recovery.
