RouterBOARD Groove 2Hn
Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

The RouterBOARD Groove 2Hn comes preinstalled in an outdoor enclosure, with a built-in 2GHz
802.11b/g wireless, an N-Male antenna connector, and one 10/100 Ethernet connector which sup-
ports MDI-X auto detection. The device is packaged with a 24V power adapter, a PoE injector and
two mounting loops. Note: Another model, the Groove A-2Hn is an AP version of this device, and
includes a Level4 RouterOS license for wireless access point mode support.

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

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
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 RESET button of the de-
vice when starting it until the LED light turns off, and Groove will start to look for Netinstall servers.

Mounting
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.

Expansion Slots and Ports
        Built in 2GHz 802.11b/g wireless, 1x1 MIMO, station mode

        One 10/100 Ethernet port, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either
         straight or cross-over cable for connecting to other network devices. The Ethernet port accepts 8-30V DC powering
         from a passive PoE injector.

Buttons and Jumpers
        RouterOS reset jumper hole (no direct access, board has removed from case) – resets RouterOS software to de-
         faults. 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 (access through the plastic door) has two functions:

              o    Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing,
                   release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (same result as with reset hole)

              o    Hold this button during boot time longer, until LED turns off,
                   then release it to make the device look for Netinstall servers.


Operating System Support
Currently tested operating system is MikroTik RouterOS (starting from version v5).

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the
following measures:

        Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
        Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
        Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
