Product Usage Instructions
Safety Warnings
Powering:
- The device can be powered using the dual/failover IEC power connectors on the back of the case.
- You can use either of the connectors separately or both connectors at the same time for failover purposes.
- The device also accepts 12-57V passive or 802.3af/at PoE on Ethernet port 13.
- The device has a terminal block for Telecom -48V DC supply or any other DC supply in the 24-57 V range.
Configuration:
Booting process: The device supports automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X) for its Gigabit Ethernet ports. You can use either straight or cross-over cables to connect to other network devices.
Ethernet port 13 (ETH13) accepts PoE power and can be used to boot the device from the network for reinstalling using the Netinstall utility (refer to the documentation).
Extension slots and ports:
- 13x Gigabit Ethernet ports
- DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port
- microSD slot
- 2x M.2 slots (only Dx4 model), accepting SATA type M.2 SSD disks in 2280 form factor
- 2x 2.5 inch SATA connectors (only Dx4 model), accepting standard 2.5 SATA HDD disks
- Recommended disks for M.2 slots: SATA3 M.2 2242mm/2260mm/2280mm B+M key SSD disks with a capacity of up to 1TB
Buttons and jumpers:
The reset button has the following functions:
- Hold the reset button during boot time until the LED light starts flashing to reset the RouterOS configuration.
- Keep holding the reset button for 5 more seconds until the LED turns off, then release it to make the RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers connected to its first Ethernet port.
The bypass switch allows binding ports 11 and 12 together in bypass mode. In case of power loss, the ports will be connected together, allowing data to pass from one port to the other as if the device was not there. Pressing the button before applying power to the device will load the backup RouterBOOT loader, useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.
Operating System Support:
The device supports RouterOS software with a version number equal to or
above what is indicated in the RouterOS menu /system resource. Other operating
systems have not been tested.
Safety Notice:
Electric shock hazard:
This equipment should only be serviced by trained personnel.
Environmental Disposal:
To avoid pollution of the environment, please separate the device from
household waste and dispose of it in a safe manner, such as in designated
waste disposal sites. Familiarize yourself with the procedures for the proper
transportation of the equipment to the designated disposal sites in your area.
Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement:
This device must not cause harmful interference and must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation. Shielded cables must be used with the unit to ensure compliance.

Powering
The device accepts powering from the dual/failover IEC power connectors on the back of the case. You can use either of them separately or both connectors at the same time, for failover purposes. The device also accepts 12-57V passive or 802.3af/at PoE on Ethernet port 13. The device also has a terminal block for Telecom -48V DC supply or any other DC supply in the 24-57 V range.
Configuration
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described
in this document. We suggest starting here to get yourself accustomed to the
possibilities: https://mt.lv/help. In case IP connection is not available,
the Winbox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC
address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the
Internet port by default). For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the
device from the network, see section Buttons and jumpers.
Booting process
First, the RouterBOOT loader is started. It displays boot information on the
onboard RS232C asynchronous serial port. The serial port is set by default to
115200bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
The RouterOS system will then load. It will be also indicated by two beeps.
You can connect to the device with SSH, Winbox GUI or the web interface, by
plugging your computer into port Ether1, and connecting to 192.168.88.1 user
admin and no password (or, for some models, check user and wireless passwords
on the sticker). The device doesn’t have a DHCP server enabled by default,
your PC should be configured with an address from this network.
