Routerboard 450G: Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

RouterBOARD 450G device accepts powering from either of the two power jacks, or from the LAN1 Ethernet port. Device does not work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors. DHCP or BOOTP protocols allow the RB450 device to get an initial IP address, and provide the address of a TFTP server to download an ELF boot image from.

RouterBOARD 450G

Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

Assembling the Hardware


First use of the board:
● Install the board in a case;
● Connect other peripherals and cables;
● Plug in power cable, or PoE powered ethernet cable to turn on the device.
Powering
The device accepts powering from either of the two power jacks, or from the LAN1 Ethernet port:
● direct-input power jacks J7/J8 (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) accept 9..28 V
DC (overvoltage protection starts at 30V).
● LAN1 Ethernet port J6 accepts 9..28 V DC input (at the board; higher voltage needed to compensate for power loss
on long cables; at least 18V suggested) from non-standard (passive) Power over Ethernet injectors (no power over
datalines). The board does not work with IEEE802.3af compliant 48V power injectors.
CAUTION: all three power inputs are always active, but only one of them may be used at time to avoid damage of
equipment.

Booting process
First, RouterBOOT loader is started. It displays some useful information on the onboard RS232C asynchronous serial port.
The serial port is set by default to 115200bit/s, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (Note that the device does not fully
implement the hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control, so it is suggested to try to disable hardware flow control in the terminal
emulation program in case the serial console does not work as expected, and if it does not help, make a new cable using the
pinout given in the User's manual). By default, RouterOS operating system is installed on RouterBOARDs. It is loaded at this
point. The loader may be configured to boot the system from the onboard NAND, and/or from network. See the respective
section of User's manual on how to configure booting sequence and other BIOS parameters.

DHCP or BOOTP (configurable in loader) protocols allow the RB450 device to get an initial IP address, and provide the
address of a TFTP server to download an ELF boot image from. It is especially useful for software installation. See the User's
manual for more information and protocol details. Note that you must connect the RouterBOARD you want to boot and the
BOOTP/DHCP and TFTP servers to the same broadcast domain (i.e., there must not be any routers between them – they
must be on the same Ethernet switch).

Extension Slots and Ports
● Five Ethernet ports, supporting automatic cross/straight cable correction (Auto MDI/X), so you can use either straight
or cross-over cables for connecting to other network devices. The first Ethernet port accepts 9..28 V DC powering
from a passive PoE injector. The other four Ethernet ports do not support PoE powering.
● DB9 RS232C asynchronous serial port.
Buttons and Jumpers
● ROS reset jumper hole – resets RouterOS software to defaults. Must short circuit the metallic sides of the hole (with
a screwdriver, for example) and boot the device. Hold screwdriver in place until RouterOS configuration is cleared.
● RouterBOOT reset button – loads backup RouterBOOT Loader firmware. Must hold button while booting. Use in case
operating system can't be booted and no useful information on Serial console output.

Operating System Support


Currently tested operating system is MikroTik RouterOS (starting from version v3).
