* -48V power is NOT compatible with PoE-in and +24V (or any other minus grounded PSU)! We strongly
suggest using the included power supply

Connecting to a POE Adapter:

1. Connect the Ethernet cable from the device to the POE port of the POE adapter.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from your LAN to the LAN port of the POE adapter, please mind arrows for data and power flow.
3. Connect the power cord to the adapter, and then plug the power cord into a power outlet.

Booting process

The device supports booting RouterOS (for complete routing and switching configuration) or SwOS (for only use as a switch). By default, the device will boot RouterOS, but you can reboot into SwOS in the following ways:

• From SwOS: In the System menu, click the "Boot RouterOS" button at the bottom of the page.
• From RouterOS: in the System, RouterBOARD menu, click "Settings" and there select "Boot OS".

Configuration

RouterOS includes many configuration options in addition to what is described in this document. We suggest starting here to get yourself accustomed to the possibilities: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CRS3xx_series_switches.
The 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 from any port, with the username admin and no password.
For recovery purposes, it is possible to reinstall the device from the network, see the Reset button.
In case the IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can also be used to connect to the MAC address of the device. Applies only when the device has booted RouterOS.

Reset button

To use the reset button, hold it and then turn on the device, while still holding the button.

• Release the button when the green LED starts flashing, to reset the RouterOS configuration. To not load the backup bootloader, you can start holding the button after power is already applied.
• Release the button after LED is no longer flashing (~20 seconds) to cause the device to look for Netinstall servers (required for reinstalling RouterOS over the network). You can also release the button at the time when the device has appeared in the Netinstall utility device list.

Regardless of the above option used, the system will load the backup RouterBOOT loader if the button is pressed before power is applied to the device. Useful for RouterBOOT debugging and recovery.
