The NetMetal is a solid and waterproof outdoor device. It has a high power wireless interface, and one Gigabit Ethernet connector, which supports MDI-X auto-detection. The device has two or three RP-SMA connectors for connecting external antennas (depends on model). The device is packaged with a 24 V power adapter, a PoE injector, and two mounting loops. There are four models available – two Three-chain devices (with miniPCIe slot and without), and two Dual-chain models (with miniPCIe slot and without). Extra places for more RP-SMA connectors are available on the unit in this case.

First use

1. Remove the lid, and connect the antenna to the RP-SMA connectors. Bend the cable with a large radius, so that it will be able to exit through the cable openings in the bottom of the lid. Put the lid back.
2. Open the product bottom door, to reveal the Ethernet connector.
3. The device accepts 12-28 V Passive PoE from a PoE injector (please compensate voltage for loss due to cable length)
4. The default IP address from Ether1 is 192.168.88.1 for configuration, the username is admin and there is no password.
5. Please choose your country to comply with local regulations. We suggest to also choose to upgrade the device in the screen that loads. Make sure that you have set a password for the WiFi network and the router itself.
6. Depending on the antenna used, you must set its gain in the RouterOS software to ensure that EIRP meets the limit set by the local authorities. This is done in the Wireless menu.
7. If your unit comes equipped with a spare miniPCIe slot (depends on model), open the NetMETAL case to install the additional miniPCIe card. There are places for extra RP-SMA cables in the top of the device, you will use a 6.5mm drill to open up the places for the extra RP-SMA cables in the marked locations.

Mounting

To tighten the device to a pole, use the provided metal hose clamp. Guide the loop around the device through the provided holes, 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 2 m from the device. This is to ensure that the cable doesn't damage the port by its weight, or doesn't fall out. It is possible to connect grounding wires to the PCB board mounting holes, but to do this, you must remove the PCB from the case.

1. Connect the device to the included PoE injector with Ethernet cable;
2. Connect the PoE injector into the computer;
3. Connect the power adapter to the PoE injector;
4. Download WinBox configuration tool https://mt.lv/winbox;
5. Default IP: 0.0.0.0, user name: admin and there is no password (or, for some models, check user and wireless passwords on the sticker), use Neighbors tab and connect through MAC address;
6. DHCP Client enabled on the bridge;
7. Once connected configure the device, so it has an active Internet connection https://mt.lv/configuration;
8. Upgrade the RouterOS software to the latest version https://mt.lv/upgrade;
9. In the "QuickSet, CPE" menu set up the following: Choose your country, to apply country regulation settings;
10. Set the antenna gain, depending on the antenna used;
11. Set up your router password in the bottom field.

Powering

The ethernet port accepts passive Power over Ethernet 8-30 V DC. The package contains a 24 V adapter and a PoE injector. The maximum power consumption of the device is 21 W at 24 V.

...

The device is configured as a wireless access pointbridge, with the ethernet port configured as a DHCP client, for connecting to your ISP router or switch. A DHCP server is configured on the wireless interface.all interfaces bridged and DHCP Client enabled. 
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://mt.lv/help.
In case IP connection is not available, the Winbox tool (https://mt.lv/winbox) can be used to connect to the MAC address of the device from the LAN side (all access is blocked from the internet port by default).

Expansion Slots and Ports

• Built-in 5GHz 802.11ac/a/n wireless, AP/station/bridge modes supported (for CPE, AP, PtP modes)
