Do you have anywhere in the network running Netinstall ?
It should have proper configuration, address to give to the router, when it is booting from the network.

Try to install the latest RouterBOOT (firmware) version. You can download it from routerboard.com webpage,
here are the instructions for the upgrade,

run Hyperterminal program,

  1. switch on the RouterBOARD, hit any key to enter to the RouterBOOT;
  2. click ‘g’ - upgrade firmware;
  3. select ‘s’ - upgrade firmware over serial port (use option Send File from
    HyperTerminal program), use Xmodem protocol.

Where did you purchase the board ?
