Antenna usage

We recommend using an external antenna, the "TOF-2400-8V-4" - which can be obtained separately. The antenna has a pole mount and cable ready to use with LR cards. https://mikrotik.com/product/tof_2400_8v_4
SMA connector located under the bottom door is already connected to the LR card and ready to be used. Please see the Mounting section on how to remove the door.

Internal antenna 4.7dBi can be used for setups, where the distance between the node and the device is up to 200 meters (the actual distance needs to be checked in the environment). This antenna is attached and ready to be used.

To confirm how the antennas are attached:

• Open the bottom door (see "Mounting").

• Use the PH2 screwdriver to remove the screw.
• Disassemble the upper case from the bottom by sliding them to opposite sides.

• An internal antenna will use the uFL connector and SMA (for the external antenna) will be connected via the MMCX connector as per the pictures below.

• Reassembly.

The software is responsible for selecting the antenna used by the device.

Make sure that the right connector is used by the module in the software settings.

In order to do that, go to the device's GUI and check which connector is used under LoRa → Devices → "Double-click" on the gateway →  Under the "Antenna" section:

If you wish to use an internal antenna, leave uFL selected. If you wish to use an external antenna that is connected to the SMA slot, select MMCX.

Buttons and jumpers

The reset button has three functions:

• Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds).
