Description
NetInstall is a program that allows you to install MikroTiK RouterOS on a dedicated PC or RouterBoard via Ethernet network. All you need is a blank floppy or an Ethernet device that supports PXE (like RouterBoard 100, RouterBoard 200 and RouterBoard 500 series), an Ethernet network between workstation and dedicated computer, and a serial null-modem console cable (for RouterBoard routers).
The program runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10.
Netinstall parameters:
- Routers/Drives - in this list you can see all the devices waiting for installation.
- Software ID - a unique ID that is generated for licensing purposes.
- Key - a key that is generated for the Software ID. When you purchase a license, you get a key file. Click the Browse... button next to the key field to select your key file.
- Get Key... - obtain software key from MikroTIK server:
- Software ID - ID for which the key will be generated (depending on the license level).
