• 7x Gigabit Ethernet ports: Standard network connections.
• 1x 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port: High-speed network connection.
• 1x 10G SFP+ port: For fiber optic or high-speed copper modules.
• 1x USB 3.0 Type-A port: For external storage or other USB devices.
• 2-pin DC input terminal (24-57V): Primary power input.
• Reset button: For device reset and mode selection.

4.3 Powering the Device

The RB5009UPr+S+OUT supports multiple powering methods:

• 2-pin DC Input: Connect a 24-57V DC power source to the terminal block.
• PoE-in: Power can be supplied via Ethernet port 1 (Passive PoE or 802.3af/at).

The device also supports PoE-out on all 8 Ethernet ports, providing up to 25W per port and a total of 130W, when powered via the 2-pin connector. This allows for powering other PoE-compatible devices directly from the router.

4.4 Initial Configuration

1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to any of the Ethernet ports on the RB5009UPr+S+OUT.
2. Access the device's web interface via a web browser by navigating to its default IP address (commonly 192.168.88.1).
3. Log in using the default credentials. Refer to the sticker on the device or the quick start guide for specific details.
4. It is highly recommended to update RouterOS to the latest version and change the default password immediately after initial access for security purposes.

5. Operation

5.1 RouterOS v7

The device runs MikroTik's RouterOS v7, offering extensive networking features and configuration options. For detailed configuration and advanced functionalities, refer to the official MikroTik documentation and Wiki.

Key functionalities supported by RouterOS v7 on this device include:

• PPPoE Termination
• DHCP Server for customer management
• Local Queuing for traffic management
• MPLS Push/Pop/Swap and MPLS Forwarding
• VPLS/VXLAN Termination
• Hardware Bridging

6. Maintenance

6.1 Software Updates

Regularly update RouterOS to ensure optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Updates can be performed via the web interface (WinBox) or command line interface. Always back up your configuration before performing a software update.

6.2 Cleaning

Periodically inspect the device for dust or debris, especially around the cooling fins on the rear. Clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as this may damage the enclosure or compromise its weatherproofing.

6.3 Environmental Considerations

Ensure the device's IP66 rating is maintained by properly sealing all cable glands and the enclosure cover after installation or maintenance. Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures outside its specified operating range or direct, prolonged submersion in water.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 No Power

• Verify the power source connection and ensure the voltage is within the specified 24-57V DC range.
• Check all power cables for any signs of damage or loose connections.
• If using PoE-in, ensure the PoE injector or switch is functioning correctly and providing adequate power to Ethernet port 1.

7.2 No Network Connectivity

• Check all Ethernet cable connections at both ends.
• Verify the status LEDs on the Ethernet ports for link activity and speed.
• Ensure correct IP configuration on your connected device (e.g., computer, server).
• If configuration issues are suspected, consider resetting the device to factory defaults (refer to the reset button instructions in the quick start guide).

7.3 Device Unresponsive

• Perform a hard reset by disconnecting and then reconnecting the power supply.
• If the device remains unresponsive, use the reset button to restore factory defaults. Be aware that this action will erase all current configurations.
