The terminal in winbox is different. It works for me every time. It only gets the errors via serial.
The router is a CCR1009-8G-1S
Ah, I don’t believe you mentioned this before.
In that case, the error messages would help even more.
I don’t really have access to a router with serial, so I can’t test it.
But I was wondering, wouldn’t it be easier to just replace the default configuration using Netinstall?
See: wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Netinstall
I need to connect to a tech in the field from a remote location via team viewer and set up the router. That’s why I need the serial setup.
Maybe it is a flow control or overrun problem… I would use 9600 baud.
How do you switch to 9600? Is it as simple as changing it in putty, or do you have to do something to the router?
Here is the error:
[admin@MikroTik] > /ip pool

It looks like it is losing input due to high speed.
You should be able to set it to 9600 in the terminal program and it should auto-detect the baudrate.
I think you are right.
How do you set the baud rate in terminal?
Depends on your terminal program. In Putty you can set it when you make a connection.
If I try to set it to 9600 in putty it will not connect.
Do you have to make changes to the router first?
If so, what are they?
I think I have confirmed that you cannot add this script because the baud rate is too high.
Is there another way to get this script on the router via the serial cable, or another way to put a simple setup on the router via the serial so I can further set it up on the network?
System Reset doesn’t delete files. Why can’t you put the file on the device while it is still connected to Ethernet ? Serial Cable is not appropriate to transmit such things
