TheNetMetalisasolidandwaterproofoutdoordevicebasedontheRB92xwirelessroutermodel.Ithashighpowerwireless,
andoneGigabitEthernetconnector,whichsupportMDI-Xautodetection.ThedevicehastwoorthreeRP-SMAconnectors
forconnectingexternalantennas(dependsonmodel).Thedeviceispackagedwitha24Vpoweradapter,aPoEinjectorand
twomountingloops.Therearefourmodelsavailable–twoThree-chaindevices(withminiPCIeslotandwithout),andtwo
Dual-chainmodels(withminiPCIeslotandwithout).ExtraplacesformoreRP-SMAconnectorsareavailableontheunitinthis
case.
Firstuse
1. Removethelid,andconnecttheantennatotheRP-SMAconnectors.Bendthecablewithalargeradius,sothatit
willbeabletoexitthroughthecableopeningsinthebottomofthelid.Putthelidback
2. Opentheproductbottomdoor,torevealtheEthernetconnector
3. Thedeviceaccepts12-28VPassivePoEfromaPoEinjector(pleasecompensatevoltageforlossduetocablelength)
4. ThedefaultIPaddressfromEther1is192.168.88.1forconfiguration
Usernameisadminandthereisnopassword
5. Dependingontheantennaused,youmustsetitsgainintheRouterOSsoftwaretoensurethatEIRPmeetsthelimit
setbyauthorities.ThisisdoneintheWirelessmenu.
Powering
TheboardacceptspoweringfromtheEthernetport(PassivePoE):
• EthernetportacceptspassivePoweroverEthernet12-28VDC.
Packagecontainsa24VadapterandaPoEinjector.
Maximumpowerconsumptionofthedeviceis23Wat24V.
Bootingprocess
ConnecttowirelessSSID“MikroTik”andopen192.168.88.1inyourwebbrowser.Usernameisadminandthereisno
password.IncaseIPconnectionisnotavailable,WinboxcanbeusedtoconnecttotheMACaddressofthedevice.Incase
yourSSIDispasswordprotected,usetheserialnumberasthewirelesspassword.
Moreinformationhere:http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/First_time_startup
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MetalwillstarttolookforNetinstallservers.
Mounting
Totightenthedevicetoapole,usetheprovidedmetalhoseclamp.Guidethelooparoundthedevicethroughtheprovided
holes,andaroundthepolewhereitwillbemounted.YoushouldavoidconnectingalooseEthernetcabletotheEthernet
port-securethecabletoawallorthepole,sothatthecableweightisnotpullingtheport.Itisrecommendedtosecurethe
Ethernetcablelessthan2mfromthedevice.Thisistoensurethatthecabledoesn'tdamagetheportbyitsweight,or
doesn'tfallout.ItispossibletoconnectgroundingwirestothePCBboardmountingholes,buttodothis,youmustremove
thePCBfromthecase.
