RouterBOARD 433/433AH

Quick Setup Guide and Warranty Information

Assembling the Hardware

First use of the board:

●

Insert the MiniPCI cards;

●

Install the board in a case and connect antenna wires, if needed;

●

Connect other peripherals and cables;

●

Plug in power cable to turn on the board.

Powering

The board accepts powering from either the power jack or the LAN1 Ethernet port:

●

direct-input power jack J801 (5.5mm outside and 2mm inside diameter, female, pin positive plug) accepts 10..28 V

DC (overvoltage protection starts at 30V).

●

LAN1 Ethernet port J601 accepts 10..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 maximum output of the power supply available for extension cards is normally 16W.

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. 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 RouterBOARD 433 series board 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).
