This document applies to the MikroTik RouterOS V2.4
The MikroTik RouterOS supports the following Cyclades PC300 Adapter hardware:
For more information about the Cyclades PCI Adapter hardware please see the relevant documentation:
The following topics are covered in this manual:
The MikroTik Router should have the cyclades software package installed. The software package file cyclades-2.4.y.npk can be downloaded from MikroTik’s web page www.mikrotik.com. To install the package, please upload the correct version file to the router and reboot. Use BINARY mode ftp transfer. After successful installation the package should be listed under the installed software packages list, for example:
[MikroTik] > system package print # NAME VERSION BUILD-TIME UNINSTALL 0 routing 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:54:29 no 1 snmp 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:54:41 no 2 ppp 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:55:36 no 3 pppoe 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:56:30 no 4 ssh 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:58:22 no 5 pptp 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:55:54 no 6 cyclades 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:58:39 no 7 framerelay 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 15:07:21 no 8 system 2.4.5 dec/04/2001 14:53:19 no [MikroTik] >
The Cyclades PC300 PCI Adapter requires the Synchronous Feature License. One license is for one installation of the MikroTik RouterOS, disregarding how many cards are installed in one PC box. The Synchronous Feature is not included in the Free Demo or Basic Software License. The Synchronous Feature cannot be obtained for the Free Demo License. It can be obtained only together with the Basic Software License.

The basic installation steps of the PCI adapter should be as follows:
The Cyclades PC300 PCI Adapter should be recognized by your motherboard automatically and appear on the list of PCI devices as "Simple COMM Controller" with the IRQ assigned to it.
[MikroTik] > driver print Flags: I - invalid, D - dynamic # DRIVER IRQ IO MEMORY ISDN-PROTOCOL 0 D Cyclades 1 D RealTek RTL8129/8139 [MikroTik] >
There can be several reasons for a failure to load the driver, for example:
[MikroTik] > interface print Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic # NAME MTU TYPE 0 ether1 1500 ether 1 X cyclades1 1600 cyclades [MikroTik] > interface [MikroTik] interface> enable 1 [MikroTik] interface> print Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic # NAME MTU TYPE 0 ether1 1500 ether 1 cyclades1 1600 cyclades [MikroTik] interface>
More configuration and statistics parameters can be found under the '/interface cyclades' menu. For the Cyclades PC300/RSV Synchronous PCI Adapter you should set the mtu to 1500, and have other argument values as below:
[MikroTik] interface cyclades> print
Flags: X - disabled
0 name=cyclades1 mtu=1600 media-type=V35 line-code=none framing-mode=none
line-build-out=0dB rx-sensitivity=none line-protocol=cisco-hdlc

[MikroTik] interface cyclades> set 0 mtu=1500

[MikroTik] interface cyclades>
Argument description:
number - Interface number in the list
name - Interface name
mtu - Maximum Transmit Unit (68...1600 bytes). Deafault value is 1500 bytes.
media-type - The hardware media used for this interface (E1/RS232/T1/V35/X21)
line-code - For T1/E1 channels only. The line code (AMI/B8ZS/HDB3/NRZ/none)
framing-mode - For T1/E1 channels only. The frame mode (CRC4/D4/ESF/ESF-Japan/Non-CRC4/none/unframe)
line-build-out - For T1 channels only. Line Build Out Signal Level(0dB/15dB/22.5dB/7.5dB)
rx-sensitivity - For T1/E1 channels only. Receiver sensitivity (long-haul/none/short-haul)
line-protocol - Line Protocol (cisco-hdlc/sync-ppp)
speed - The clock mode or clock rate in bps. If '0', the external clock mode is selected. For V.35 should be set to '0' to use the external clock from the modem. Valeus greater than '0' represent the clock speed (which implies an internal clock).
active-channel - For T1/E1 channels only. The active 64Kb channels.
The Cyclades PC300/RSV Synchronous PCI Adapter comes with a V.35 cable. This cable should work for all standard modems, which have V.35 connections. For synchronous modems, which have a DB-25 connection, you should use a standard DB-25 cable.
Connect a communication device, e.g., a baseband modem, to the V.35 port and turn it on. The MikroTik driver for the Cyclades Synchronous PCI Adapter allows you to unplug the V.35 cable from one modem and plug it into another modem with a different clock speed, and you do not need to restart the interface or router.
Let us consider the following network setup with MikroTik Router connected to a leased line with baseband modems and a CISCO router at the other end:
The driver for the Cyclades PC300/RSV Synchronous PCI Adapter should load automatically. The interface should be enabled according to the instructions given above. The IP addresses assigned to the cyclades interface should be as follows:

Note, that for the point-to-point link the network mask is set to 32 bits, the argument 'network' is set to the IP address of the other end, and the broadcast address is set to 255.255.255.255. The default route should be set to the gateway router 1.1.1.2:

The configuration of the CISCO router at the other end (part of the configuration) is:
