Powering

The board accepts powering from the Ethernet port (Passive PoE) 9-30V DC.

Booting process

RouterOS is the operating system of all RouterBOARD routers. Please see detailed configuration guide here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Category: Manual

This device doesn't come fitted with a Serial Port connector, so initial connection has to be done via the Ethernet cable, using the MikroTik Winbox utility. Winbox should be used to connect to the default IP address of 192.168.88.1 with the username admin and no password.

In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can also be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. More information here: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup

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 (behind the small door), and SXT will start to look for Netinstall servers.

Management wireless

The SXT Lite5 ac has a secondary wireless interface only for management purposes. It is a 2GHz 802.11b/g/n interface attached to an internal 1.5dBi antenna for low range connection. By default, this interface is disabled. You need to connect to the device and enable the second wlan interface with your own desired configuration.

Mounting

With the clip pointed forward, slide the mounting bracket into the rail on the bottom of the case, until the clip clicks into place. The SXT comes bundled with a hose clamp - guide the clamp through the opening in the bracket and around the pole where it will be mounted. Tighten the hose clamp screw when alignment is complete. Two screw holes are provided as additional security against accidental bracket movement.

The SXT device has a sliding door, behind which the Ethernet port and the reset jumpers are located. This door can be also secured shut with a screw in the provided screw hole.

Buttons and Jumpers

The Reset button is located behind the door, and has following 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 management mode, used if you want the device be controlled by CAPsMAN (total 10 seconds)
Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until until LED turns off, then release it to make the RouterBOARD look for Netinstall servers (total 15 seconds)
