Powering

The device accepts power from the power jack or from the first Ethernet port (Passive PoE):

The power consumption of this device under maximum load with attachments is 59 W. Without attachments 6 W.

Power output

This device can supply PoE power to external devices from its Ethernet ports. This is convenient as you don't need any additional PoE injectors to power other devices. The output voltage will be the same as the input voltage. The maximum power output of each Ethernet port in this mode is 1 A (the total maximum for all ports is 2 A). Once Power Output is enabled in RouterOS, the Ethernet LED adds red color to it (green means Ethernet link is made, red means power but no link, red and green both means there is link and power).

Booting process

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 an 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).
For recovery purposes, it is possible to boot the device from the network, see a section Reset button.
