rsc Script Writing and


Sending Guide
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on writing and sending .rsc (RouterOS
Script) files to MikroTik equipment using a serial port and GtkTerm. .rsc scripts are a
powerful way to automate configurations on MikroTik routers and switches.

Steps
1. Connect MikroTik Equipment to Computer

Connect using a serial cable from the computer to the MikroTik Equipment.

2. Open GtkTerm

Launch GtkTerm on your computer.

3. Configure Serial Port

Navigate to File -> Preferences.

Under Port, select the serial port and change the baud rate to 115200.

4. Open a New .rsc Script

Create a new .rsc script in your preferred text editor.

Here is an example .rsc script, which creates a new bridge, and adds ports 23
and 24 to said bridge:

/interface bridge add name=bridge1;


/interface bridge port remove [find where interface=ether23];
/interface bridge port remove [find where interface=ether24];
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether23;
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether24;
/interface bridge port print

5. Save .rsc Script

Save the script with a meaningful filename, e.g., config_script.rsc .

6. Send .rsc Script to MikroTik

In GtkTerm, go to File -> Send RAW File and select your .rsc script.

7. Monitor Progress

Check the GtkTerm console for script execution feedback.

When the terminal stops writing code, press the X in the top right corner of the
popup to close the window.

8. Execute Commands

Press enter to execute commands in the terminal.

9. Check MikroTik Configuration

Check the MikroTik configuration to ensure the script executed as expected.

Additional Tips
Double-check .rsc script syntax and commands to avoid errors.

Running the script multiple times may cause errors, so be sure to check the
configuration after each run.

Congratulations! You've successfully written and sent .rsc scripts using GtkTerm and a
serial port.
