The baseBox2 has a single dual chain radio, while the NetMetal ac2 seems to be 2 separate radios. I want to use both NetMetal radios on 2.4 GHz for a 180 degree coverage each on our large trucks, one antenna on each side. I initially wanted to create a Bridge and place both wlan1 and wlan2 in that b...

When i did mine, it's really, 1 pc, no internet, no router. Just pc plug to the mk router. Then boot with the long press of the button with the corresponding flashing light. or no flash.. then the device will appear in the device list. Yes that part works... It's the flashing that fails.

Thx wrkq, but that didn't work for me For me it was solved by switching the laptop ethernet port to 100Mbps full duplex. Tried that, at 10Mbps just to make sure packets were not coming "too fast" for the RB2011, but same result. This time I'm using a newer RB2011 hardware, but same problem...

Hello Mikrotik support,

Should I re-post this in a different thread ?

I was not sure where to post this. Also, if there's documentation how to flash a config, I could program my own tool to do it. (i.e. What is the compression format ? Do I just TFTP the file over ? Is there a command to issue ?)

politick

Is the Flashing utility still functional with V6.45.1 ? I'm trying to flash an RB2011 and the Flashing tool keeps on giving an error: "no TFTP Request". Please see attached PNG. NoTFTP.png Is the this documentation correct ? https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Flashfig Where it says it a...

I will cut this post into the different questions into new separate posts.
This is probably too long and intimidating to answer so sorry for the re-posts.

After reading: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Flashfig
A page I just found. For some reason it's a bit buried.

Martin.

I need to configure 100x RB2011 the same way. I've created MyDefault.rsc that I is a variation on: /system default-configuration print To flash the new MyDefault.rsc, I've used NetInstall and I "believe" I've flashed it with the 6.45.1 firmware. I can't find documentation on how flash the ...

Hi vecernik87, I'm running RouterOS v6.45.1 (stable) I can't get the ARP Proxy to work the way you describe it (simulating a single ethernet segment), and/or the way I believe you want me to configure the DHCP makes the RB2011 unstable, see code #2 below. Can you help further ? This is the way I und...

politick

OK, I will try this. I'll remove the bridge & the ports from the switch and have them managed by the CPU (i.e. alone on their ethernet segment). I understand ARP, but I've never used the ARP proxy functionality before. So if the ports are CPU managed, you're saying that ARP requests will be prox...

Hi there, I have an RB2011 iL-IN that will be deploying in the field by installers (i.e. not network people) and I'd need specific IP addresses given to specific devices plugged into specific labeled RJ45 ports.

Yes, the potential that goes through is the potential that goes in the power unit. BUT the device does test, to see if the other side is capable of PoE. Check the manual: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:PoE-Out What you are looking for is at "Port Settings". OK Thank you ! That's pe...

There is an auto detection system, to find out if the device uses POE, and what type of it. As long as the PoE out port is set as "auto on" (or "off"), You can plug anything you want. Hi Paternot, But isn't what you're describing 802.3af ? The standard ($expensive$) power over e...

In a nutshell, I want to be reassured that I can plug any laptop into a powered powerbox and it won't blowup the laptop's ethernet port. I know that Ethernet is an electrically differential signal. So each pairs can have a different potential and as long as the pairs are electrically isolated, then ...

Yes ! That works. This piece of code can be simplified and a lot of error trapping could be removed. #--- Enable second chain for Basebox 2 only, but without making a syntax error for the Metal. :do { :local DynamicCommand :if ($Board = "BaseBox 2") do={ :set $DynamicCommand "/interfa...

Yes Icosa, that looks promising !
I will try that probably next week. I don't see why this would not work.

Hi Icosa, would indicate a syntax problem with the script. Yes it is a syntax error, but only from the point of view of the " Metal 2SHPn " because this script runs just fine on the " BaseBox 2 ". But that's what I'm trying to do: Somehow have a single script that sets-up multipl...

I've tried embedding the error catching as you have described, but I still have the same issue. I've also upgraded the RouterOS to the latest on the "Metal 2SHPn" just in case and the same result... Any other idea ? I don't want to start breaking out this script into many small one, say { ...

We are using 2 types of radios: "BaseBox 2" & "Metal 2SHPn" We'd like to write a single script to configure them, but the problem is that the OS tries to interpret the lines that will NOT be executed and fails Ex: :global Board [/system resource get board-name]; ... :if ($Boa...

Hi, 1- Because a 802.11b over 900 MHz is unusual to me, I'd like to know if this radio has all the same capability (and encoding) as the Metal 2 ? 2- Can I set the Metal 9 radio in Ad hoc mode ?

it's 3am and I'm dead tired and can't sleep. Yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about... I suffer from that as well from time to time when I can't shutdown my mind. I think we'd have to run an "experiment" to measure the difference in performances. We could measure coverage and run ...

Maybe my question should be:
Can I configure the BaseBox 2x2 MIMO radio chains into a DIVERSITY 1x1 SISO but using both radio chains ?
(i.e. NOT creating a SISO by disabling a chain)

politick

Thanks Old Man, We're not trying to block the signal from both antenna intentionally, we'd be mounting it on a huge piece of open pit mining equipment and we'd place one antenna on each side of the truck. The challenge is that the access points are on mobile trailers in the middle bottom of the pit ...

We are looking at using a BaseBox 2 (AR9342 chipset) on a mobile equipment. (I understand that BaseBox and mobile seem to be a diametrically opposed application) Does someone know how the Atheros DSP expect that antennae can be used to extend coverage, rather than bandwidth ? For discussion purposes...

Thank you Dave,

That's a good observation, but the antenna selection is not my main concern. Unfortunately I'm not using RouterOS, but a LinuxOS.

1) Where can I find documentation on the antenna configurations for R52Hn ? 2) It's a 5GHz & 2GHz, but also 2x2 mimo ... Because I know that the antennas need to be properly tuned to the frequencies, I assume that it can either be {2x2 MIMO 2GHz} OR {2x2 MIMO 5GHz} OR {5GHz 1x1 and 2GHz 1x1}. Is...

OP, since you're mainly looking to do L2 switching, you might be better served by an L2 switch than a Router board. Given that you already use Netgear "smart" switches in your network, it might be worthwhile to look at the GS108T, which is similar in price to the RB2011, and has an interf...
