MikroTik RouterBOARD 411U User manual

RouterBOARD 411U
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
Assembling the Hardware
First use of the board:
●Optional: Insert a miniPCI card into the miniPCI slot
●Optional: Insert a 3G miniPCI-e card (WLA cards won't work in this slot) into the miniPCI-e slot, and the Phone's SIM
card into the SIM slot.
●Install the board in a case and connect other peripherals (USB) and cables (Ethernet, Antenna cable).
●Plug in power cable to turn on the board (If not using PoE power over LA ). Please do not power on the device before
the antenna cables are connected to avoid possible damage to the wireless card.
Powering
The board accepts powering from either the power jack or the LA 1 Ethernet port:
●direct-input power jack J7 (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) accepts 9..28V DC
(overvoltage protection starts at 28V).
●LA 1 Ethernet port J8 accepts 9..28V DC input (at the board; higher voltage needed to compensate for power loss on
long cables; at least 18V suggested) from non-standard (passive) Power over Ethernet injectors (no power over
datalines). The board does not work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors.
The maximum output of the power supply available for extension cards is normally 10W (3.0A).
Booting process
First, RouterBOOT is started. It displays some useful information on the onboard RS232C asynchronous serial port. The serial
port is set by default to 115200bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity . 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. The loader may be configured to boot the system from the onboard A D, and/or from network.
See the respective section of User's manual on how to configure booting sequence and other BIOS parameters.

DHCP or BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allow the RouterBOARD 411U device to get an initial IP address, and
provide the address of a TFTP server to download an ELF boot image from. It is especially useful for software installation.
See the User's manual for more information and protocol details. ote that you must connect the RouterBOARD you want to
boot and the BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers to the same broadcast domain (i.e., there must not be any routers between
them – they must be on the same Ethernet switch).

Extension Slots and Ports
●One Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight
or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 9..28 V DC powering from a
passive PoE injector.
●One miniPCI Type IIIA/IIIB port with 3.3V power signaling.
●One miniPCI-e slot for 3G modem (onboard SIM connector for use exclusively with a miniPCI-e modem plugged in)
●USB 2.0 port with 5V 1A supply
●DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port.
Buttons and Jumpers
●ROS reset jumper hole (RESET) – resets RouterOS software to defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the
hole (with a screwdriver, for example) and boot the device. Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is
cleared.
●RouterBOOT reset button (S301) – loads backup RouterBOOT Loader firmware. Must hold button while booting. Use
in case operating system can't be booted and no useful information on Serial console output.
Operating S stem Support
Currently tested operating system is MikroTik RouterOS (starting from version 3.26).
