Powering
The board accepts powering from either the power jack or the LAN1

9..28V D C ( overvoltage p rotection s tarts a t 2 8V).
LAN1 Ethernet port J8 accepts 9..28V DC input (at the board; higher voltage needed to compensate for

power loss on long cables; at least 18V suggested) from non-­‐standard (passive) Power over Ethernet
injectors (no power over datalines). The board does not work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power
injectors.

Booting p rocess
First, RouterBOOT is started. It displays some useful 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. Note that the device does

in the terminal emulation program in case the serial console does not work as expected, and if it does not help,
make a new cable using the pinout given in the User's manual. The loader may be configured to boot the system
from the onboard NAND, and/or from network. See the respective section of User's manual on how to configure
booting s equence a nd o ther B IOS p arameters. http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup
DHCP or BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allow the RouterBOARD 411AR device to get an initial IP
address, and provide the address of a TFTP server to download an ELF boot image from. It is especially useful for
software installation. See the User's manual for more information and protocol details. Note that you must
connect the RouterBOARD you want to boot and the BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers to the same broadcast
domain ( i.e., t here m ust n ot b e a ny r outers b etween t hem – t hey m ust b e o n t he s ame E thernet s witch).
