RouterBOARD 711G-5HnD

Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

RB711G-5HnD is a dual chain 5 GHz 802.11a/n wireless device with one Gigabit Ethernet port.

First use

 Connect antenna cables to the built in Wi-Fi connectors

 Power the device from Ether1 port with a passive PoE injector

Powering

The board accepts power with the following modes:

 With PoE to ETHER1 port. It accepts 8-30V 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 data lines). The board does not

work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors.

Booting process

This device doesn't come fitted with a Serial Port connector, so initial connection has to be done via the Ethernet cable, using

the MikroTik Winbox utility. Winbox should be used to connect to the default IP address of 192.168.88.1 with the username

admin and no password.

In case IP connection is not available, Winbox can also be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. More infor-

mation 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 S301 button of the device

when starting it until it beeps and the LED light turns off and RB711 will look for Netinstall servers.

Extension Slots and Ports

 One Gigabit 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 8-30V DC powering

from a passive PoE injector.

 Built-in 802.11a/n Wi-Fi card with two MMCX/uFL (depends on model) connectors

Buttons and Jumpers

 RouterOS reset jumper hole (RESET, marked with a black circle in the diagram above, below S301) – 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.

 S301 – Holding this button during boot time will make RB711 look for Netinstall servers. Release the button after

the LED light goes out.

Operating System Support

Currently tested operating system is MikroTik RouterOS (starting from version v5.x).
