A dedicated ADSL output or filtered phone jack, (ADSL filer not supplied).
6500-A2/3G Model only:
•
A 3G capable SIM card, activated and ready for data. The Mako also needs to be
within your provider’s 3G coverage and in a location that doesn’t interfere with
the 3G reception. Avoid placing your Mako near devices that may cause radio
interference with the mobile data signal such as microwave ovens, cordless
phones etc. You also need to avoid placing your Mako in an area that will inhibit
the reception from the cellular tower. Items and obstacles that can inhibit
reception include washers, dryers, refrigerators, metal cabinets and especially
any water filled items, such as tubs of water, aquariums, water heaters etc.
All Models:
•
A PC with a web browser installed.
•
For connection to a PC, you can directly connect to either of the Mako’s LAN
ports.
Refer to Appendix 3 on page 13 for additional information and considerations when Connecting
to your ADSL or 3G service.
The network diagram below illustrates a typical Mako installation.
LAN
1 and LAN 2 are separate
networks, e.g. office and
EFTPOS
, or office and servers. Use of LAN 2 is optional, as is LAN
separation, i.e. 8 office PCs could be connected to both ports using two 5 port switches.
In a merchant environment, one network will be reserved for payment terminals. Chapter 3
onward illustrates how to physically connect your Mako to your networks.
