Booting process
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest
starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities:
. In case IP connection is not available,
the Winbox tool (
) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side
(all access is blocked from the Internet port by default).
For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from the network, see a section
Extension Slots and Ports

Buttons and jumpers
Reset button
The RouterBOOT reset button has the following functions. Press the button and apply the power, then:
•
Release the button when a green LED starts flashing, to reset RouterOS configuration to defaults.
•
Release the button when the LED turns solid green to clear all configuration and bridge all interfaces.
•
Release the button after LED is no longer lit (~20 seconds) to cause a device to look for Netinstall servers
(required for reinstalling RouterOS over the network).
Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed
before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.
Mode button
The action of the mode buttons can be configured from RouterOS software to execute any user-supplied RouterOS
script. You can also disable this button.
The mode button can be configured in RouterOS menu
