The RouterBOARD Groove comes preinstalled in an outdoor case, with a built-in wireless interface, an
N-Male antenna connector, and one 10/100 Ethernet connector which supports MDI-X auto-detection.
The device is packaged with a 24 V power adapter, a PoE injector, and two mounting loops. Several
models are available (dual-band, single band, AP and CPE variants).
Safety Warnings
Before you work on any equipment, be aware of the hazards involved with electrical circuitry, and be familiar with standard practices for preventing accidents.
Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
The Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
This product is intended to be mounted outdoors on a pole. Please read the mounting instructions carefully before beginning installation. Failure to use the correct hardware and configuration or to follow the correct procedures could result in a hazardous situation for people and damage to the system.
Use only the power supply and accessories approved by the manufacturer, and which can be found in the original packaging of this product.
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.
We cannot guarantee that no accidents or damage will occur due to the improper use of the device. Please use this product with care and operate at your own risk!
In the case of device failure, please disconnect it from power. The fastest way to do so is by unplugging the power plug from the power outlet.
It is the customer's responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal frequency channels, output power, cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) requirements. All Mikrotik radio devices must be professionally installed.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation: This MikroTik equipment complies with the FCC, IC and European Union radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This MikroTik device should be installed and operated no closer than 20 centimeters from your body, occupational user or the general public.
Connecting
- Connect the antenna to the N-Male connector.
- Twist to open the Groove case, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
- The Groove accepts 8-30 V Passive PoE from a PoE injector. The included injector should be
connected with the “Data” end into a switch or other router, the “Data + Power” port should be
connected to the Groove, by using an Ethernet cable of the desired length (not included). - 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. - To configure the device, for the access point models (A) you should connect to the wireless network that begins with “MikroTik”. For the CPE models, the configuration is done from the Ethernet port.
- Log in to the device from your web browser by opening 192.168.88.1 in the address bar. Set the WiFi network password, the device password, any other settings and choose the country where the device is used, to comply with local regulations.
Powering
The device accepts powering from an Ethernet port (Passive PoE). Under maximum load, the power consumption of this device is 4 W.
Mounting
The device 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 its weight or doesn't fall out.
Configuration
The AP model Groove (A) is configured as a wireless access point, 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. The CPE model Groove is configured as a client, with the Ethernet port configured as a DHCP
server.
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 the 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).
Reset button
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).
• Keep holding for 5 more seconds, LED turns solid, release now to turn on CAPs mode for
managing the unit from a CAPsMAN server (total 10 seconds).
• Or Keep holding the button for 5 more seconds until LED turns off, then release it to make the
RouterBOARD looks for Netinstall servers (total 15 seconds).
Operating System Support
The device supports RouterOS software with the version number at or above what is indicated in the
RouterOS menu /system resource. Other operating systems have not been tested.
We recommend clicking the “Check for updates” button and updating your RouterOS software to the
the latest version to ensure the best performance and stability.
To avoid pollution of the environment, please separate the device from household waste and dispose of it in a safe manner, such as in designated waste disposal sites. Familiarize yourself with the procedures for the proper transportation of the equipment to the designated disposal sites in your area.
