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  

•

Connect  the  antenna  to  the  N-­‐Male  connector.  

•

Twist  to  open  the  Groove  case,  connect  an  Ethernet  cable  to  the  Ethernet  port  

• 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  

•

The  Groove  accepts  8-­‐30V  Passive  PoE  from  a  PoE  injector  

•

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  

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-­‐ formation  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  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.

Expansion  Slots  and  Ports  

• Built  in  2GHz  802.11b/g/n  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).

Federal  Communication  Commission  Interference  Statement    

(FCC  ID:  TV7GROOVE-­‐2HN)  

This  equipment  has  been  tested  and  found  to  comply  with  the  limits  for  a  Class  B  digital  device,  pursuant  to  Part  15  of  the  FCC  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.  

•

Consult  the  dealer  or  an  experienced  radio/TV  technician  for  help.  

FCC  Caution:  Any  changes  or  modifications  not  expressly  approved  by  the  party  responsible  for  compliance  could  void  the  user’s  authority   to  operate  this  equipment.  This  device  complies  with  Part  15  of  the  FCC  Rules.  Operation  is  subject  to  the  following  two  conditions:  (1)  This   device  may  not  cause  harmful  interference,  and  (2)  this  device  must  accept  any  interference  received,  including  interference  that  may   cause  undesired  operation.  This  device  and  its  antenna  must  not  be  co-­‐located  or  operation  in  conjunction  with  any  other  antenna  or   transmitter.  

IMPORTANT:  Exposure  to  Radio  Frequency  Radiation.  

32  cm  minimum  distance  has  to  be  maintained  between  the  antenna  and  the  occupational  user  and  100  cm  to  general  public.  Under  such   configuration,  the  FCC  radiation  exposure  limits  set  forth  for  an  population/uncontrolled  environment  can  be  satisfied.  

MODIFICATIONS  

The  FCC  requires  the  user  to  be  notified  that  any  changes  or  modifications  to  this  device  that  are  not  expressly  approved  by  the  manufac-­‐ turer  may  void  the  user’s  authority  to  operate  the  equipment.  The  correction  of  interference  caused  by  unauthorized  modification,  substi-­‐ tution  or  attachment  will  be  the  responsibility  of  the  user.  The  manufacturer  and  its  authorized  resellers  or  distributors  are  not  liable  for   any  damage  or  violation  of  government  regulations  that  may  arise  from  failing  to  comply  with  these  guidelines.
