MikroTik RouterBOARD 411UAHR Quick Setup Manual

RouterBOARD 411UAHR
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

Assembling the Hardware

First use of the board:
●
Optional: Insert a miniPCI card into the miniPCI slot
● Optional: Insert a 3G miniPCI-e card (WLAN cards won't work in this slot) into the miniPCI-e slot, and the Phone's SIM
card into the SIM slot. The SIM slot is only used in combination with the miniPCI-e card, it has no function without it.
● Install the board in a case and connect other peripherals (USB) and cables (Ethernet, Antenna cable).
● If using the USB port, you must attach the USB powering cable to the USB port, as the RB411UAHR does not have
built in power for USB. USB powered HUB won't work, a special USB power injector is needed. Sold separately.
● Plug in power cable to turn on the board (If not using PoE power over LAN). Please do not power on the device before
the antenna cables are connected to avoid possible damage to the wireless card.

Powering

The board accepts powering from either the power jack or the LAN1 Ethernet port:
● direct-input power jack J7 (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) accepts 9..28V DC
(overvoltage protection starts at 28V).
●
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.
The maximum output of the power supply available for extension cards is normally 10W (3.0A).

Booting process

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 not fully implement the
hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control, so it is suggested to try to disable hardware flow control 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 sequence and other BIOS parameters.

DHCP or BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allow the RouterBOARD 411U 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., there must not be any routers between
them – they must be on the same Ethernet switch).
