power supply is more efficient).

See Connector Index for pinout of the standard cable required for PoE. All cables made to EIA/TIA 568A/B

cable specifications will work correctly with PoE. Note that this port supports automatic cross/straight cable

correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight or cross-over cable for connecting to other devices.

Onboard 802.11b/g wireless card

This RouterBOARD model has a built-in 802.11b/g wireless device based on the AR2417 Atheros chipset. Ufl

antenna connectors are located to the left of the card, as seen in the diagram of page 3.

RX sensitivity

802.11g

: –87 dBm @ 6Mbps to -69 dBm @ 54 Mbps

802.11b

: –92 dBm @ 1Mbps to –83 dBm @ 11 Mbps

TX power Up to 20 dBm

Modulations

802.11g

: OFDM,64QAM,16QAM,QPSK,BPSK

802.11b

: CCK,DSS,DQPSK, DBPSK

DB9 Serial Port

The RS232C standard male DB9 asynchronous serial port may be used for initial configuration, or for

attaching a modem or any other RS232 serial device. TxD (pin 3) of this port has -5V DC power when idle.

RTS and DTR signals are not connected. 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.

LEDs

Power LED

Power LED is on when the board is powered.

User LED

User LED may be programmed at user's option. It is lit by default when the board starts up, then it is turned

off when the bootloader runs kernel.

Status LEDs

Six LEDs (LD 501-506) are located to the right of the Serial port. Their functions are as follows:

• LED 1-5 are all user programmable

• LED 4 when not programmed shows Bootloader activity

• LED 5 when not programmed shows NAND activity

• LED 6 is used for Wireless activity (not active in current RouterOS versions)
