Grounding
The installation infrastructure (towers and masts), as well as the router itself, must be properly grounded. The device includes a grounding wire attachment
screw. Attach your grounding wire to the grounding screw, then attach the other end of the grounding wire to the grounded mast.
Please secure all loose Ethernet cables and antenna cables to the pole or mast approximately 30cm from the device, so that the cable weight is not pulling
the ports and connectors.
Front status LED behavior
RouterOS allows configuring each LED's activity the way that the user wishes. It is possible to configure the LEDs to display wireless strength, blink the
LEDs on interface traffic activity and many other options.
