3 ‐ on, if signal strength >= ‐75dBm 4 ‐ on, if signal strength >= ‐68dBm 5 ‐ on, if signal strength >= ‐61dBm (good signal = all LEDs on) It is possible to disable this function (turn all these LEDs off or re‐assign them) via software configuration. User's Guide Mounting The Groove is to be mounted vertically, so that the Ethernet cable points downwards. If you wish to tighten the Groove to a pole, you can do it with the provided mounting loops. The Groove comes bundled with two mounting loops ‐ guide the loops around the Groove though the provided edge markings, and around the pole where it will be mounted. You should 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 Groove device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by it's weight, or doesn't fall out. First use The device is assembled and ready for deployment. You must mount the antenna on the built‐in N‐male connector before turning on the device via PoE! 1. Mount an antenna on the built in N connector. Any antenna can be used, which works in the frequencies supported by the chosen Groove model 2. Plug the supplied PSU into a power socket, and connect it to the supplied PoE injector 3. Connect the “DATA” end of the injector to a switch or any other device, and the other end (which says “DATA+POWER”) to an Ethernet cable leading to the Groove device 4. Open 192.168.88.1 in your web browser to start Quickset and configure the Groove. You might need to adjust your PC IP address to connect to this IP. For advanced configuration guides, see: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Category:Manual In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. More information here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup Grounding It is recommend using a FTP (foil screened twisted pair) cable – in this case, one end of the cable would be plugged into the SXT, the other end of the cable will be connected to the buildings grounding installation. If possible, also connect a grounding wire to the provided grounding connection behind the SXT case door. Powering Power over Ethernet (PoE) on the Ethernet port: 8‐30V DC (12‐28 V suggested) non‐standard PoE powering support. 24V PSU is supplied with the device ... -
Page 5: Expansion Slots And Ports
Expansion Slots and Ports 1. Built in 2GHz 802.11b/g wireless, 1x1 MIMO, station mode 2. One 10/100 Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross‐over cable for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 8‐30V DC powering from a passive PoE injector. Buttons and Jumpers • RouterOS reset jumper hole (no direct access, board has removed from case) – resets RouterOS software to defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the hole (with a screwdriver, for example) and boot the device. Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared. • RouterBOOT reset button (access through the plastic door) has two functions: Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (same result as with reset hole) Hold this button during boot time longer, until LED turns off, then release it to make the device look for Netinstall servers. Booting options In case you wish to boot the device from network, for example to use MikroTik Netinstall, hold the RESET button of the device when starting it until the LED light turns off, and Groove will start to look for Netinstall servers. Onboard NAND Storage Device The RouterBOARD may be started from the onboard NAND storage chip. As there is no partition table on the device, the boot loader assumes the first 4MiB form a YAFFS filesystem, and executes the file called “kernel” stored in the root directory on that partition. It is possible to partition the rest of the medium by patching the kernel source. Booting from network Network boot works similarly to PXE or EtherBoot protocol, and allows you to the device from an executable image stored on a TFTP server. It uses BOOTP or DHCP (configurable in boot loader) protocol to get a valid IP address, and TFTP protocol to download an executable (ELF) kernel image combined with the initial RAM disk (inserted as an ELF section) to boot from (the TFTP server's IP address and the image name must be sent by the BOOTP/DHCP server). To boot the RouterBOARD computer from Ethernet network you need the following: An ELF kernel image for the loader to boot from (you can embed the kernel parameters and initrd image • as ELF sections called kernparm and initrd respectively) A TFTP server which to download the image from ... -
