RouterBOARD Metal 5SHPN
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
The RouterBOARD
Metal 5SHPN
is a solid, waterproof outdoor device with a high power wireless
transmitter (5GHz, 802.11a/n, N-‐Male antenna connector), and one 10/100 Ethernet connector
which supports MDI-‐X auto detection. The device is packaged with a 24V power adapter, a PoE
injector and two mounting loops.
First use
1.
Connect the antenna to the N-‐Male connector
2.
Use the latches to open the product case, to reveal the Ethernet connector
3.
Use the provided round rubber insulator to put on the Ethernet cable, and push it into the
case opening, so that the opening is tightly closed.
To put the cable though the insulator, you have to put in the cable first, and only then
clamp on the Ethernet connector. If the connector is already on the cable, you can cut the
insulator on one side, to clamp it around the cable, but this sacrifices waterproofness.
4.
The Metal accepts 12-‐28V Passive PoE from a PoE injector (please compensate voltage for
loss due to cable length)
5.
The default IP address from Ether1 is 192.168.88.1 for configuration
Username is
admin
and there is
no password
6.
Depending on the antenna used, you must set its gain in the RouterOS software to ensure
that EIRP meets the limit set by authorities. This is done in the Wireless menu.
Powering
The board accepts powering from the Ethernet port (Passive PoE):
•
Ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 12-28V DC. Package contains a 24V
adapter and a PoE injector.
Maximum power consumption of the device is 12W at 24V.
Booting process
Initial connection has to be done via the Ethernet cable. Open
192.168.88.1
in your web browser,
and choose “Webfig” for browser based configuration or “Winbox” for a Windows utility with the
same functions.
Username is
admin
and there is no password. In case IP connection is not available,
Winbox can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. More information here:

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, and Metal will start to look
for Netinstall servers.
Mounting
To tighten the Metal to a pole, use the provided mounting loops. The Metal comes bundled with
two plastic and two metallic mounting loops (choose either) -‐ guide the loops around the Metal
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 Metal
device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by its weight, or doesn't fall out.
