LEDs
Ethernet LED is on when the board is powered. It is the first LED from the bottom.
There are five LEDs which show wireless signal strength:
1 ‐ on, if wireless client is connected to AP (usually >= ‐89dBm)
2 ‐ on, if signal strength >= ‐82dBm (bad signal)
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:

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
