MIKroTik SXT Kit Series Models

SXT LTE kit

The SXT kit comes as a complete set and includes a built-in modem, connected to a built-in antenna. It has two 10/100 Ethernet connectors that support MDI-X auto-detection. There are two micro SIM card slots available, to switch between cell providers.

First use

  • The default configuration is CPE RouterMode:

  • *LTE interface connected to providers network (WAN port);

  • *WAN port is protected by a firewall and enabled DHCP client.

  • LAN Configuration:

  • IP Address 192.168.88.1/24 is set on the bridge (LAN port)

  • DHCP Server enabled;

  • DNS: enabled.

  • WAN (gateway) Configuration:

  • gateway: lte1;

  • ip4 firewall: enabled;

  • NAT: enabled.

    1. Open the bottom lid.

    2. Insert the SIM cards into the micro-SIM slots (SIM A slot is a default).

    3. If using another slot, the configuration can be changed in RouterOS with CLI command: system routerboard modem set sim-slot=down

    4. After changing SIM slots, LTE modem will be restarted. It can take some time (depending on modem and board around 30 seconds) to fully initialize it, so make sure you test your modem.

    5. Connect the device to the power source (see “SXT kit-series#Powering”).

    6. Once the device is powered on and PC connected to the device, open https://192.168.88.1 in your web browser or Winbox to start the configuration.

    7. User name: admin and there is no password by default you will be logged in automatically to the Quick Set screen.

    8.  We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button on the right side and updating your RouterOS software to the latest version to ensure the best performance and stability. Must have an internet connection and a valid SIM card.

    9.  To manually update the device, please go to our web page and download the latest (MIPSBE) software packages to your PC.

    10. Open Web browser or Winbox and upload packages to the Files menu and reboot the device.

    11. Set up your router password in the bottom field “Password” to the right and repeat it in the field “Confirm Password”, it will be used to login next time.

    12. Click on the “Apply Configuration” to save changes.

Mounting

SXT designed to be mounted on the pole, the package includes a mounting bracket and steel clamp.

  1. With the clip pointed forward, slide the mounting bracket into the rail on the bottom of the case, until the clip clicks into place.
  2. Guide the clamp through the opening in the bracket.
  3.  Attach the unit to a pole, with the Ethernet port pointing downward.
  4. Use a PH2 screwdriver to tighten the rings when alignment is complete.
  5. Fix the Ethernet cable to the pole using zip ties, less than one meter from the unit, to avoid the cable being pulled out of the port.
  6. Check mounting angle and positioning.

When using both Ethernet ports, make sure to cut a wider cable opening in the plastic door. You can use pliers to tear out the plastic piece that is protecting the cable opening. When closing the plastic door, make sure to apply pressure, until it “clicks” into place. Mounting and configuration of this device should be done by a qualified person. When mounting on the wall, please ensure that cable feed is pointing downwards. The IPX rating scale of this device is IP54. We recommend using Cat6 shielded cables. Warning! This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the device and your body.

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.

Powering

The device accepts power from the Ethernet port: 12 – 57 V DC ⎓ passive and 802.3af/at PoE to the port ETH1. The power consumption under maximum load can reach 5 W, with attachments 22 W.

Connecting to a PoE Adapter:

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

Configuration

Once logged in, we recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button in the QuickSet menu, as updating your RouterOS software to the latest version ensures the best performance and stability. For wireless models, please make sure you have selected the country where the device will be used, to conform with local regulations. 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 for reinstallation, see a section SXT kit- series#Reset button.

Extension slots and ports

  • Two Ethernet ports that support automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices.
  • The ETH2 port is capable of powering another RouterBOARD device with passive PoE (up to 57 V). The maximum output current is 600 mA when using less than 30 V to power this device and 400 mA when using more than 30 V.
  • MiniPSIe slot.
  • Two micro SIM slots.
  • Integrated LTE module, supported bands depend on a region (check brochure).

Reset button

The reset button has three functions:

  • Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds);
  • Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAP mode. The device will now look for a CAPsMAN server (total 10 seconds);
  • Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until LED turns off, then release it to make the RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers (total 15 seconds);

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.

Mode button

The action of the mode buttons can be configured from RouterOS software to execute any user-supplied RouterOS script. You can also disable this button. The mode button can be configured in RouterOS menu /system routerboard mode- button
