RouterBOARD 411AR
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
Assembling the Hardware
First use of the board:
•
Insert the MiniPCI card. RouterBOARD 411AR provides one
MiniPCI slot on the top of the board
•
Connect antenna cables to the MiniPCI card and/or to the built
in WiFI card's MMCX connector
•
Install the board in a case and connect other peripherals and
cables.
•
Plug in power cable to turn on the board.
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 411AR 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).
