Network Controller and Access Point

Staging Guide

Overview

This guide provides instructions on configuring and staging the MikroTik Access Point

(AP) and Network Controller (NC) so that they can connect to the Viasat Network once

installed.

The NC and AP must be staged before installation deployment. This process does

not require an internet connection and devices need only be staged once. In order to

ensure devices are staged with up-to-date software, they should be staged directly prior

to shipment for installation (as part of the pre-installation process).

Connection to Viasat satellite infrastructure is NOT required for staging these devices.

REQUIRED ITEMS:

•One Mikrotik Network Controller (NC)

•One Mikrotik Access Point (AP)

•One NC power cord (The power cord that comes with the AP is not needed)

•One NC PoE injector (The PoE injector that comes with the AP is not needed)

•One Android smartphone with 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi capability and with the latest

version of the VCI Staging Application installed.

oThe Android smartphone must also have an approved OS version.

•Two pre-tested Ethernet cords

•Working power outlet

•Paperclip or other fine-pointed object

NOTE: Use the following link as reference when installing the Staging Application to

your device: https://www.lifewire.com/install-apk-on-android-4177185

NOTE: A different model may be used for the MikroTIK items pictured in this guide, but

the process is identical.

PoE Injector

NC/AP Staging Instructions:

1. Plug the NC power cord into the PoE injector as shown below and connect the power

cord to a functioning power outlet. Plug an ethernet cable to the other end of the PoE

injector, a light on the injector indicates successful connection to power.

2. Perform a Factory Reset on the NC: Hold down the NC reset button (circled below) and

THEN insert the other end of the ethernet cord connected to the PoE injector into Port 1

of the NC as shown below. The reset button must be held down BEFORE connecting the

ethernet cable.

Continue holding the reset button until LED light starts flashing (takes 5 seconds) then

immediately release the button to reset RouterOS configuration.

NOTE: If the reset button is held down too long the LED will turn solid. If this happens,

unplug the ethernet cable and perform another factory reset.

3. Connect the second ethernet cable to Port 5 of the NC as show below.

4. Perform a Factory Reset of the AP: Hold down the AP reset button (circled below, this

may require a paper clip or other small object to reach) and THEN connect the other

end of the ethernet cable in Port 5 of the NC to the AP’s ethernet port as shown below. The

reset button must be held down BEFORE connecting the ethernet cable.

NOTE: If the reset button is held down too long the LED will turn solid. If this happens,

unplug the ethernet cable and perform another factory reset.

5. Verify the Power and Port 5 lights are on for the NC and the power light is on for the AP.

If this does not happen, try repeating the above steps.

6. On your 5GHz Android smartphone, go to settings and verify Location Services is set to

On using the below image as reference.

7. Open the VCI Staging Application. The below screen will load. If no Available Networks

appear then press “SCAN FOR WI-FI NETWORKS”.

NOTE: Available Networks will not show if Location Services is disabled or if devices

are not powered on. If the issue persist, try using a different 5GHz Android device

contact Support.

8. Connect to the Network Controller (NC) Wi-Fi by selecting the Available Network that

uses the last 6 digits of the WLAN number (circled below) on the back of the NC. Your 6

digits will differ from the ones shown below.

9. Press “CONFIRM” on the pop-up screen.

NOTE: Configuring the NC will automatically configure the AP.

10. The Staging App will complete the below processes. This may take up to 15 minutes and

the devices may reboot several times. To ensure the device does not enter Sleep Mode

during this process, tap the screen every 15 to 20 seconds.

11. A Succesful Configuration will be confired by displaying the screen shown below on the

Android smartphone. Congratulations, NC/AP Staging is complete! The devices are now

ready for deployment to the installation site.
