Figura 3.1: MikroTik hAP Port Layout. This image illustrates the front panel of the hAP device, clearly labeling the power input, reset button (RES), power indicator (PWR), user LED (USR), Internet port (Ether1), LAN ports (Ether2-4), and the PoE output port (Ether5).

• Entrada d'alimentació: DC 10-28V.
• RES (Botó de reinici): Used for resetting the device to factory defaults.
• PWR (LED d'alimentació): Indica l'estat d'alimentació.
• USR (LED d'usuari): Programmable LED.
• Internet (Ether1): Connect your internet service provider's cable here. This port also supports Passive PoE input.
• LAN (Ether2-4): Connect your wired devices (computers, switches, etc.) to these ports.
• PoE out (Ether5): This port provides Passive PoE output, capable of powering other PoE-capable devices with the same voltage as applied to the unit. Maximum load is 500mA.
• USB: Connect a 3G/4G modem or other USB devices.

3.2. Connexió inicial

1. Connecta't a Internet: Plug your internet cable (from your modem or ISP) into the port labeled "Internet" (Ether1) on the hAP device.
2. Connectar l'alimentació:
   • If using the included power adapter: Connect the power adapter to the "Power" jack on the device, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
   • If using Passive PoE: Connect a Passive PoE injector to the "Internet" (Ether1) port. The device can be powered via this port.
3. Encès: The device will power on automatically. Wait for the PWR LED to stabilize.
4. Connecteu-vos a la xarxa:
   • Amb cable: Connect a computer to any of the "LAN" ports (Ether2-4) using an Ethernet cable.
   • Sense fil: Cerca available Wi-Fi networks on your computer or mobile device. The hAP is preconfigured with a default MikroTik wireless network. Connect to this network.
5. Configuració d'accés: Un cop connectat, obriu a web navegador i navegueu fins a l'adreça IP predeterminada (normalment http://192.168.88.1). You will be prompted to log in. The default username is admin with no password. It is highly recommended to set a strong password immediately after initial login.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

The MikroTik hAP runs RouterOS, a powerful operating system that offers extensive configuration options.

4.1. Basic Network Functionality

• Accés a Internet: After connecting the internet cable and powering on, your devices connected to the hAP (wired or wireless) should automatically obtain an IP address and have internet access.
• Wireless Access Point: The hAP functions as a wireless access point, allowing Wi-Fi enabled devices to connect to your network. The default wireless network name (SSID) and password can be found on the device label or in the initial configuration.
• Connectivitat per cable: Use the LAN ports (Ether2-4) to connect devices that require a stable wired connection, such as desktop computers, smart TVs, or network printers.

4.2. Advanced Configuration (RouterOS)

For advanced network configurations, such as setting up firewalls, VPNs, VLANs, or customizing wireless settings, you will need to use the RouterOS interface. This can be accessed via:

• WebFiga: El web-based graphical user interface (GUI) accessible through your browser at the device's IP address.
• Caixa de vins: A dedicated Windows application for managing MikroTik devices.
• CLI (Command Line Interface): Accessible via SSH for experienced users.

Detailed documentation and guides for RouterOS are available on the official MikroTik weblloc.

5. Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and security of your hAP device.

• Actualitzacions de firmware: Revisa el MikroTik periòdicament website for RouterOS updates. Keeping your firmware updated provides new features, performance improvements, and security patches.
