Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information
The RouterBOARD
Groove
comes preinstalled in an outdoor case, with a built-‐in wireless interface,
an N-‐Male antenna connector, and one 10/100 Ethernet connector which supports MDI-‐X auto
detection. The device is packaged with a 24V power adapter, a PoE injector and two mounting loops.
Several models are available (dual band, single band, AP and CPE variants).
First use
1.
Connect the antenna to the N-‐Male connector
2.
Twist to open the Groove case, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port
3.
Use the provided rubber insulator to put on the Ethernet cable, and push it into the case
opening, so that the opening is tightly closed
4.
The Groove accepts 8-‐30V Passive PoE from a PoE injector
5.
The default IP address from Ether1 is 192.168.88.1 for configuration
Username is
admin
and there is
no password
6.
Depending on the antenna used, you must set it’s 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 8-‐30V DC. Package contains a 24V
adapter and a PoE injector.
Maximum power consumption of the device is 4W.
Booting process
Initial connection has to be done via the Ethernet cable. Open
192.168.88.1
in your web browser, and choose “Webfig” for
browser based configuration or “Winbox” for a Windows utility with the same functions.
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. More

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
The Groove is to be mounted vertically, so that the Ethernet cable points downwards.
If you wish to tighten the Groove to a pole, you can do it with the provided mounting loops. The Groove comes bundled with
two mounting loops -‐ guide the loops around the Groove though the provided edge markings, 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
Groove device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by it's weight, or doesn't fall out.
