Accessing the flashlight is fast as inserting the accessory and pressing the battery test button for instant light; no need to boot up or toggle modes!Micro USB cable for charging internal battery bank while PowerLINK is powered offAvailable Option: 24v to 48v converter cableAvailable Option: Ethernet LAN cableAbout the PowerLINKPowerLINK is a smart transparent bridged access point router capable of Power over Ethernet (PoE) output while sporting an imbedded power bank for ultra-mobility. The PowerLINK out-of-the-box by default is only operates as a passive access point bridge and is not authoritative for DHCP or IP routing of end-user devices connecting to the PowerLINK wireless SSID and Ethernet. The PowerLINK simply bridges together and allows user(s) to connect to the PowerLINK wireless SSID and access the Ethernet interface of the PoE capable device being powered, i.e. wireless CPE client radio. The PowerLINK itself, unless configured told to do so otherwise, does not send out DHCP, nor does any (rogue) route injection occur. PowerLINK features customizable operating system configurations, including advanced Layer2, Layer3 TCP/IP operations. When an end-user or installer technician connects to their PoE powered device and gets DHCP from their PoE powered device, they’ll be able to get to where they need to go instantly. Some applications and hardware may require the use of static IP addressing to access Ethernet connections. Consult your end-user device manufacturer documentation how to set a static IP address if required.PowerLINK is powered by the embedded GNU/Linux distribution OpenWRT. There are router features available to make several things to happen, and customizable modules within the feature-filled operating system.PowerLINK has a default management static IP address of 192.168.1.69. By default out-of-the-box there is no active running DHCP client or server, however is possible to add such functions within the PowerLINK management configuration once logged in. For local access into the PowerLINK management configuration interface, the connecting device must minimum have a static IP address in the same network subnet of the PowerLINK (192.168.1.0/24).Using the LTI PowerTIK PowerLINK edition offers little to none configuration changes on the device that is connecting to the PowerLINK for management purposes, and is greatly recommended to serve as a multifunctional assistant to the PowerLINK accessory tool-kit. The ability to program a static IP address, for example, in a smartphone is dependent upon the device manufacturer whether is supported or not. Most devices use DHCP by default. This also prevents the need of hunting for manufacturer hidden menus and root access of smartphone.Ethernet & PoECambium equipment will require the use of an Ethernet cable with reversed polarity. As you see below in the pinout diagram, the power pin layout is reversed. To use 48v PoE output must first use a 24v to 48v converter cable. For long Ethernet cable runs or use of reversed polarity cables, will need to use a PoE pass-through. Popular PoE pass-through devices are surge arrestor ground blocks and the MikroTik RouterBOARD mAP. The PoE pass-through will bridge the PoE voltage output.Change PowerLINK Password Using SSHInsert text here!!!TITLE PLACEHOLDERTITLE PLACEHOLDERTITLE PLACEHOLDERRecommendations and Best PracticesAdvanced configurations and initial setup would recommend using anything other than phone regarding need of static IP address.Change PowerLINK default IP address to new management subnet scheme; many default networks use 192.168.1.0/24 and might be difficult to route or gain access to PowerLINK if duplicates exist.Change SSID to something personal with an encryption key for the wireless network.Change wireless 2.4GHz radio card from frequency 2462 to auto frequency; PowerLINK will have less likely chance of self-interfering with other nearby hardware as noted in the RF interference case study.Make sure PowerLINK has good full battery when powering 48v devices in combination with mAP for passive pass-through; PowerLINK will need enough power for the mAP to turn on other 48v connected device via ether2.RF Interference Case Study: A fixed-wireless CPE connects to a WISP access point on Frequency 2462. The Installing technician uses PowerLINK to power the subscriber CPE and is standing near the CPE. Installer attempts to connect to the PowerLINK’s default SSID frequency on2462, and is unable to find PowerLINK SSID, connect to PowerLINK SSID, or experiences horrible speed issues while using wireless backbone or testing fixed-wireless CPE throughput.Do’s and Don’ts and the How To(s)Don’t blame the PowerLINK first before thoroughly consulting the PowerLINK manual and testing.Don’t dangle or hang the PowerLINK by the Ethernet port or else risk damage and loss in durability.Don’t plug enabled PoE output into non PoE devices or else risk damaging the Ethernet interface.The PowerLINK v3 Default Bridge will not respond to 192.168.1.69 ARP requests before the Ethernet cable is plugged in prior upon to powering on in order to make the bridge interface active (or might also mean device(s) are misconfigured and should consult this manual).PowerLINK v4Battery8W 24v PoE power bank 6,000mAh15W 24v PoE power bank 7,000mAh high current batteryHardwareRAM 32MB / 256MbitFlash 8MB / 64MbitRT5350F chipsetFully customizable 802.11 b/g/n single radio chain wireless transmission rate of 150MbpsDefault TCP/IP ConfigurationIP Address: 192.168.1.69 on interface br-lan2Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 (/24)Default Gateway: 192.168.1.101DNS: 8.8.8.8Default LoginThe default login for the PowerLINK v4 is username of root and password gevaDefault wireless/wlan SSIDOpen access point with SSID of Optional Ways to Access Management InterfaceHTML web browser (preferred), SSH, & WinSCP (file system management)NetworkingAbility to add static routes for next hops and route to different networks.The PowerLINK v4 management IP address can be untagged or tagged VLAN.

It is very portable, since it accepts power from a wide variety of sources - USB, Passive 24v & 48v PoE and power jack. It also works as a 24v & 48v PoE injector - the second Ethernet port provides up to 500mA of power to another device, for example, you can connect a CPE device to it.mAP is a great companion to the PowerLINK. Ether1 is PoE in. Ether2 is PoE out. mAP supports passive PoE of 24v and 48v. For being a power bridge this is the smartest power bridge available powered by MikroTik RouterOS and with Link Technologies, Inc. PowerTIK & PowerLINK capabilities.Cambium crossover cable combined with PowerLINK makes powering of Cambium devices simple. A middle component is required to transfer PoE from the 24v to 48v converter. The middle component can be a dumb PoE surge arrestor. Choosing the mAP for the middle component is smarter, and has an inside look on what data gets transferred.Installers want the easiest and quickest way accessing their hardware, and time is important when you’re on the go. Combining the light-weight action-packed RouterBOARD mAP and LTI PowerTIK configuration make everything simple and powerful.What is the LTI PowerTIKComplete Power of RouterOSStation + Access Point Repeater Mode with Auto SSID ConnectingBridge FiltersAuthoritative DHCP ServerVLAN Tagging & Management Access24v and 48v PoE input and output pass-throughTFTP ServerVPN ClientRouting & OSPFSSH and Telnet TerminalInternal Use Only:Don’t print pages below this comment1 IntroductionSummary of Test ProcedurePhase 1: Physical and visual check for PowerLINK damage, and setting PoE output to OFF position.Phase 2: Quick diagnostic of OSI & TCP/IP Layer 2 and Layer 3 functions with MikroTik router & Winbox.Slide PowerLINK O-C-R function fully on, test wireless ping to 192.168.1.69 is successful.Slide PowerLINK O-C-R function fully off, plug in Ethernet cable, power unit on.While waiting for Ethernet boot up, power on next pending PowerLINK in preparation for wireless test.Test Ethernet ping to 192.168.1.69, and logging into PowerLINK Management Interface is successful.After Ethernet pass, set PoE output to ON position in preparation for Phase 3.Phase 3: Verification of 24v and 48v powering of hardware via PoE output from the PowerLINK.Phase 4: Verification of bundled accessories functionality: USB flashlight & USB cable.What is the LTI PowerTIK PowerLINK Edition and how will it be used?The goal using the PowerTIK is to have the least amount of software and configuration changes applied on the user hardware being but not limited to, a computer, smartphone and tablet. A test bench computer will be directly connected via Ethernet cable to the PowerTIK ether2. PowerLINK will plug into PowerTIK ether1. Majority of the testing will be done between the PowerTIK and the PowerLINK. The PowerTIK will have a set of pre-configured scripts to assist when conducting PowerLINK tests. A custom Winbox session view file has been created to specifically pre-load commonly accessed Winbox RouterOS menus. Using the PowerTIK is the easiest and fastest way testing a PowerLINK.The PowerTIK will test for the PowerLINK SSID and if the PowerLINK management IP 192.168.1.69 is reachable wirelessly and wired Ethernet. The PowerTIK built-in TFTP server can push .bin file firmware to the PowerLINK in the event a complete system reset is required. PowerTIK has a built-in Telnet/SSH terminal to easily configure PowerLINK system files without need of additional software. The PowerTIK will maintain Internet connection for the test bench computer in between PowerLINK testing automatically.Let’s begin 2 WinboxPreparing for Hardware Test: Using Winbox and Connecting to the LTI MikroTik PowerTIK via Test Bench ComputerNote Winbox and view session is pre-configured for the PowerLINK technician’s convenience and ability for fast testing.
