If your Mako was not supplied with a USB Key you do not need one in
your location and can skip this step, however it is advised to check with your installer.
Note
: There is no on / off switch. To turn on the Mako, simply plug in the low power 12VDC cable into the
back of your Mako. Do not plug this in now, see
section 3
Turning on for details on switching your Mako
on.
Before getting started, make sure you’ve received an email with your Mako username, access
code, and management server URL. You’ll need these later to access the Mako Networks Central
Management System.
You may need to download a special configuration file from the Mako Networks CMS to
complete the installation of your Mako 6500 appliance. Your reseller will inform you if this file is
needed, and provide instructions on how to obtain the file from a secure website.
Note that your Mako has no buttons to press or switches to flip. All interaction with your Mako
happens via the secure CMS. You’ll need to log into the website to make any changes to the
appliance configuration, view reports, or perform user administration.
There are a few special circumstances to be aware of:
•
HUB OR SWITCH PORT
If your office network has three or more devices, a switch will be required. Your existing
office network switch needs to have a spare RJ-45 connection Port available for the
Mako; if not, you need to either upgrade your existing hardware to increase the
available Ports, or install an additional hub or switch. This is not the responsibility of
Mako Networks or your reseller.
•
DIRECT CONNECTION TO A COMPUTER
If you are connecting directly to a computer can use the supplied or any standard
Ethernet cable.
Note
: A crossover cable isn’t required as this is automatically switched by the Mako hardware.
•
POWER SUPPLY
A spare standard AC power mains socket outlet, 220V or 110V is required, the power
supply is auto switching. It’s recommended using a surge protection unit, not supplied,
for the mains connection.
