MikroTik RouterBOARD 711A-5Hn Quick Setup Manual And Warranty Information

RouterBOARD 711A-5Hn
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

First use

1. Connect antenna cable to the built in WiFI connector (uFL or MMCX depending on model)
2. Device accepts 10..28V either with a passive PoE powered ethernet cable
or with a power connector to the Power Jack

Powering

The board accepts powering only from the LAN1 Ethernet port:
● LAN1 Ethernet port J4 accepts 10..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.
● This device is fitted with a power jack which accepts 10..28V DC power.

Booting process

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

In case you wish to boot the device from network, for example to use MikroTik Netinstall, hold the S301 button of the device
when starting it until it beeps and the LED light turns off and RB711 will look for Netinstall servers.

Extension Slots and Ports

● One Ethernet port, supporting 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 Ethernet port accepts 9..28 V DC powering from a
passive PoE injector.
● Built-in 802.11a/n WiFi card (AR9280) with one MMCX/uFL (depends on model) connector to the left of it

Buttons and Jumpers

RouterOS reset jumper hole (RESET, marked with a black circle in the diagram above, below S301) – 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.
S301 – Holding this button during boot time will make RB711 look for Netinstall servers. Release the button after
●
the LED light goes out.
