Powering

The device accepts power in the following ways:
• The Ethernet port accepts 802.3af/at PoE 12-57 V DC .
• Direct-input power jack (5.5 mm outside and 2 mm inside, female, pin positive plug) accepts 12-57 V ⎓DC .
The power consumption under maximum load can reach 21 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.

Mounting

The mANTbox comes with a QuickMount adapter that can be attached to a wall using the included screws, or attached to a pole, using the included metal mounting ring. The QuickMount allows the device to be adjusted horizontally and vertically.

Attach the quick mount to the back of the device.
Attach the device to the pole and secure it with a provided steel clamp. Clamping diameter 35 – 70 mm.
Please 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 device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn’t damage the port by its weight, or doesn’t fall out.
We recommend using Cat6 shielded cables.
Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 25 cm between the device and your body. The operation of this equipment in the residential environment could cause radio interference.

Configuration

We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version to ensure the best performance and stability. RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest visiting the RouterOS documentation page to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: https://mt.lv/help.
In case an 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).

Grounding

The installation infrastructure (towers and masts), as well as the router itself, must be properly grounded. The device includes a grounding wire attachment screw behind the case door. Attach your grounding wire to the grounding screw, then attach the other end of the grounding wire to the grounded mast. This is to substantially reduce the risk of ESD and lightning damage. The device includes a grounding connection (marked⏚ ).

Opening cover

To open the cover, please turn the captive screw by hand anti-clockwise and lift it.

Expansion Slots and Ports

• Built-in wireless interface 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz.
