Booting process
RouterOS is the operating system of all RouterBOARD routers. Please see documentation here: http://mt.lv/help
This device is not preconfigured other than an IP address on the ethernet port. Other configuration has to be
applied according to the documentation manual linked above.
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 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 the device will start to look for Netinstall servers.
In case IP connection is not available, the Winbox utility can also be used to connect to the MAC address of the
device. More information in the documentation.
Extension slots and ports
•
One gigabit ethernet port (With Auto MDI/X so you can use either straight or cross-over cables for
connecting to other network devices). The ethernet port accepts 10-30V DC powering from a passive PoE
injector.
