Omnitik dead - netinstall

Hello.
Few days ago I upgraded to OS 5.21 and firmware 3.0
Omnitik became slow and after few hours I lost it.
Now when I plug the Poe, it does not beep/boot , but the led is on.
I heard I can recover it somehow.It’s not yet fried !!..

Do i need to use netinstall ? i do not have any usb serial cable, how can I recover it? demounting and opening the plastic enclosure perhaps?

Hello

Have you tried with RESETING the hardware ??

Inside the device is a reset button. Hold the button, apply power, release the button after some 10 seconds. Software will be reset:

If complete reinstall should be needed, hold the button for some 30 seconds before releasing, and device will enter Netinstall mode. Then launch Netinstall in your PC and it will detect the Netinstall server on your router.

unofrtunately nothing happens , after 10 or 30 seconds..
I open netinstall client and nothing happens…

did you connect cable from port 1 directly to your PC? netinstall must be running on the same network, and the windows pc must have all firewall/antivirus programs disabled, and running with administrator privileges

did you connect cable from port 1 directly to your PC?
How can I connect cable from port 1 to my PC ? If I do that how can I switch on the Omnitik?I used a PoE and connected white cable into PC.

netinstall must be running on the same network,
Do you mean the same network of the one installed before crash on omnitik?

and the windows pc must have all firewall/antivirus programs disabled, and running with administrator privileges
this is fine


thanks

Yes I did plug it into PC and set Ip4 to : 172.18.1.5 , same subnet of crashed Omnitik.
I run Netinstall program and kept reset button for 30 seconds, but nothing is popping up…

to clarify, is this the procedure you followed?

  1. unplug all cables from omnitik
  2. press reset button and hold it
  3. plug in poe cable (to apply power)
  4. still keep holding the button, for 30 seconds
  5. release button to see unit pop up in netinstall

so, the button must be pressed before power is applied

Yes i did, but unfortunately no progress.
In fact when I switch the Omnitik , the board does not even beep…
Should I change the Ip perhaps…

Do you have any other suggestion?
CAn I record a short video , perhaps I do smth wrong?

regards

sure, video would help to understand whole process

i can’t manage to upload it.
Can I post it on my webpage?

If you have anather interface in your computer you must disable it (for example wifi card)
You can have only one card enabled at the same time if you usage netinstaler

put it in youtube and post link here

  1. try to turn off the wireless in your laptop
  2. is the net boot enabled as in this image? http://wiki.mikrotik.com/images/6/6a/2009-01-27_1224.jpg

yes, wireless off and netbootin and server enabled with 172.18.4.1
