The trick is to use the help NetInstall Mikrotik software. So hopefully, the installation file that is planted on USB FlashDisk can be run on PC / Laptop that supports booting via USB Drive. The form so kind of Live CD Mikrotik that can be used without the need to install many times, just once installation. Usually Mikrotik packages are installed on the PC using the media CD / DVD or DOM installer. Maybe at that spot is likewise a idea that the championship inwards a higher house agency install Mikrotik packages from USB Stick as installation media. But that is non so.
Mikrotik with the existing line can back up with 3g/4g modem, or any problems with that at present isp connection between the processor system status, etc. can provide something been lost in the notifying you via SMS.
You can see 3g / 4g modem and 3g / 4g MiniPCI card list supported by your router.
Now, we’re looking at a 3g / 4g modem to the USB port on the Mikrotik, to check the USB port and see if it recognized the modem.
Default comes as int PPP-out and is in disable mode.
After you connect with winbox to enable, you are enabling interface PPP-out.
Now we will make the settings for 3g / 4g.
The connected USB port is selected and the APN checkbox mgb is written to Turkcell.
In the ppp tab, the phone part is written as * 99 #, the dial command section is ide ATDT, and the add default route is marked.
Now status is connected, connected and received ip information.
Now we have to add a rule to the firewall, to bring the local network to the internet.
Now with the netwatch tool underneath the tool menu, we will send sms after 9 seconds.
We show the scripts that we write under Up & down menus, and when the status is down or up, it will run the script based on that.
Let’s test now that I’ve added a drop rule in the direction out of firewall to 195.175.39.39.

Note
Customers who have purchased firewalls from the Netgate Store can getfactory installation images by contacting support. The Netgate ProductManuals contain specific instructions for each model. Some Netgate devicescan also run Community Edition images, but the factory images offer the bestuser experience.

- USB Memstick Installer
A disk image which can be written to a USB memory stick (memstick) andbooted on the target hardware for installation.
- CD Image (ISO) Installer
To install from optical media or for use with IPMI or hypervisors which canboot from ISO images.
Select a Console for USB Memstick Installer images:

Some hardware contains a usable serial port which is exposedthrough a special internal USB/Serial connection and dedicated USBconsole port. This hardware generally works fine, and is not the same asa USB/Serial adapter plugged into a USB port, which will not work forserving a serial console.

Verifying the integrity of the download¶
The integrity of the installer image can be verified by comparing a computedhash value of the downloaded file against a hash computed by the pfSenseproject when the files were originally created. The current hashes provided bythe project use SHA-256.
The SHA-256 sum displayed on the download page is the best source, as it is notpulled from the same directory as the download images. A file containing theSHA-256 sum is also available on the mirrors with the same filename as thechosen installer image, but ending in .sha256
.
Use the accompanying SHA-256 sum from the download site or .sha256
file toverify that the download successfully completed and is an official release ofpfSense software.
Warning
The SHA-256 sums are computed against the compressed versions ofthe downloaded files. Compare the hash before decompressing the file.
Hash calculation programs vary by operating system, some common examplesinclude:
Use HashTab to compare the value against the provided hash. WithHashTab installed, right click on the downloaded file to access theFile Hashes tab containing the SHA256 hash, among others.
Tip
If a SHA256 hash is not displayed, right click in the hash viewand click Settings, then check the box for SHA256 and clickOK.
The generated SHA256 hash from HashTab can be compared with the contentsof the provided checksum.
Note
It is also possible to use the Linux sha256sum
ormd5sum
commands within Cygwin if the Cygwin command prompt islaunched as an Admin user.
Use the shasum
or md5
command line utilities to generate a hashof the downloaded file.
Example:
The generated SHA256 hash can be compared with the contents of theprovided .sha256 checksum.
Use the sha256sum
or md5sum
command line utilities to generate ahash of the downloaded file.
The generated SHA256 hash can be compared with the contents of theprovided .sha256 checksum.
