How to configure MikroTik CAPsMAN v2

For example, I will configure CAPsMAN v2 on MikroTik PowerBox Pro with MikroTik cAP ac access points (RBcAPGi-5acD2nD), instead of PowerBox Pro you can use, for example, MikroTik hEX PoE (RB960PGS), they have 4 POE Out ports, you can connect 2 access points to one POE port, the recommended cable length is up to 80 m, so POE can power 8 access points, but you need a more powerful power supply than the one included, for example, I remember in the PowerBox Pro manual it says that at 24V 1A on the POE port, at 48V 0.5A, so you need a 24V 6A or 8A power supply. If there is not enough current for the access points, then they will reboot when, for example, the CPU is more loaded. Thanks to CAPsMAN, by changing the configuration of wireless interfaces on the main device, such as password, frequencies, etc., they are changed on all access points automatically.
