Congratulations on choosing your Mako 8875 appliance. Your appliance may also be referred to as
the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or simply Mako.
Your Mako is managed remotely by Mako Networks via a web server, using your standard broadband
Internet connection and the Mako Networks Central Management System (
CMS
).
The CMS uses a standard web browser interface for personal configuration and reporting, providing
enterprise level control over your connection; giving you freedom to manage and monitor your
business network over any Internet connection, anywhere. Refer to the appendix, Overview, for a
general overview of your new device.
This handbook provides a guideline for using the Mako 8875 appliance in a standard
configuration environment.
The intended audience for the guide is the actual end user of the Mako System, you.
Note:
For the remainder of this user guide, the Mako 8875 appliance will be referred to as the
Mako
and
the Mako Networks Central Management System as the
CMS
. Any personal device using the Internet to
connect to the CMS will be simply referred to as a
PC
regardless of type.
It also needs to be noted that the Mako on its own is not the focus of this product handbook.
Integral to the Mako is the CMS, which is used to configure, access and monitor your Mako. Your
Mako and CMS are referred to as the Mako System, see Figure 1, below.
Therefore, although this is titled Mako 8875 product handbook, a large portion of the content
will be detailing the use of the CMS. For additional information on the Mako System, visit
