1.1  Naming Conventions 
The term “IoT gateway” is used in this document to refer to the device that is able to 
connect to AWS IoT portal for data posting. The term “Bluetooth tag” refers to the 
Bluetooth device that is able to broadcast Bluetooth advertising packets. 
 
1.2  Glossary 
Gateway - a device used to connect two different networks, especially a connection to the 
internet. 
Narrowband IoT - is a standards-based low power wide area (LPWA) technology 
developed to enable a wide range of new IoT devices and services. 
CAT-M or LTE-M – is a low power wide area (LPWA) technology designed to support IoT 
devices with cellular technologies. 
IoT Device – is the nonstandard computing device that connects wirelessly to a network 
and has the ability to transmit data, such as the many devices on the internet of things.

1.3 Revision History (Version, Date, Description of change) 1.0 14-Jan-2022 Initial Version 2 Overview KNOT or RB924i-2nD-BT5&BG77. The newest addition to the MikroTik IoT product family – KNOT – is a truly universal device with exceptional connectivity options and protocol support. It is an IoT Gateway that uses Narrow Band and CAT-M technology. Because of the low cost, low bandwidth cellular connection, it is supported by countless mobile operators around the globe.

.3 User Provided items RJ-45 connection or NB-IoT/Narrow band WAN connection is required for the device to reach global network. In case it is RJ-45/Ethernet connection to ISP router/any other uplink router – an ethernet cable connection must be provided to the unit (device has x2 100 Mbps Ethernet ports). In case it is NB-IoT/Narrowband WAN ISP connection, you will need: 1) IOT NB/LTE-M SIM card (SIM card that supports IOT NB/LTE-M connection); 2) External antennas for the Narrow Band modem and GPS.

1. The device can be mounted using provided DIN rail mount set. Designed to fit standard 35 mm x 7.5 mm DIN rails. Attach it with two provided screws to the device and attach the device to the DIN rail. The DIN rail is not provided in the package. 2. Alternatively, it is possible to attach the device to a wall, using the provided screw holes on the back of the unit. The device should be mounted in a way that the cable openings are pointing downward as shown in the picture.

Extension slots and ports: • 2.4 GHz, 802.11b/g/n, antenna gain 1.5 dBi. • • Built-in GPS module (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo). Two 10/100 Ethernet ports, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X). Either straight or crossover cable can be used for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 12-57 V DC power from an 802.3af/at PoE injector. One microUSB 2.0 port. One nano SIM slot. Bluetooth version 5.2, antenna gain 2 dBi.

Buttons and jumpers: Reset button: • Hold this button during boot time until the LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds). In other words, press the reset button before applying power to the device and power on the unit, while keeping the reset button pressed for 5 seconds (until the last LED [to the right] on the LED panel starts blinking) – then release the button. • • Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAP mode.
