Sector Radio Configuration

Configuration Steps

When programming this radio for the first time it is generally easier to use the Mac Address of the device to connect to it from winbox, This will ensure that if you remove the current IP address you remain connected to the radio. You can do this by either typing the mac address into the address field or selecting a detected radio by clicking on the mac address column.

1. Upgrade your modem to the latest version of RouterOS
   • If you have connected the modem to your LAN in a way that provides Internet access, the following two command can be used:

   /system package update install

   Once the system is don upgrading and rebooting run

   /system routerboard upgrade

   • Otherwise, use the standalone upgrade method: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Upgrading_RouterOS (also works on older ROS 5.xx that does not support the upgrade command) \
2. Reset the modem/radio to a blank configuration

   /system reset-configuration no-defaults=yes

3. Give the modem/radio a name, for standard sectors this takes the form of RADIOaz.site for example RADIO120.LMK

   /system identity set name=RADIO120.SITE
