RB1100 series
The RB1100 is a rack-mountable ethernet router with 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two of the ports provide bypass
functionality.
Powering
The device accepts powering from the dual/failover IEC power connectors on the back of the case. You can use
either of them separately or both connectors at the same time, for failover purposes. The device also accepts 12-
57V passive or 802.3af/at PoE on Ethernet port 13. The device also has a terminal block for Telecom -48V DC
supply or any other DC supply in 24-57V range.
Configuration
RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest to
start here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: http://mt.lv/help. In case IP connection is not available, the
Winbox tool (http://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side (all
access is blocked from the Internet port by default).
For recovery purposes, it is possible boot the device from network, see section Buttons and jumpers.
Booting process
First, RouterBOOT loader is started. It displays boot 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.
The RouterOS system will then load. It will be also indicated by two beeps.
You can connect to the device with SSH, Winbox GUI or the web interface, by plugging your computer into port
Ether1, and connecting to 192.168.88.1. The device doesn’t have DHCP server enabled by default, your PC should
be configured with an address from this network.
