POWER SUPPLY 

Two spare standard AC power mains socket outlets, 220V or 110V are required, the 
power supply is auto switching. It’s recommended using a surge protection unit, not 
supplied, for the mains connection. 

 

ESSENTIAL ITEMS 

 

An active Internet connection 

 

A modem with an available WAN port. (Not supplied) 

 

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 Appendix 3 on page 11 for additional information and considerations when 
Connecting to your ADSL or 3G service. 

 

 

The ADSL services are provided by a variety of network service providers in each country. In 
many cases the network service provider will be your local telephone supplier. 

Network service providers have a variety of procedures for approving customer premises 
equipment for connection to their network. The connection interface in the Mako has been 
developed to connect to the majority of network service providers. If you have any queries your 
reseller will be happy to confirm whether the Mako is approved by your network service provider 
for connection to their telecommunications network. 

 "

 

 

The ADSL service is carried on a conventional analogue telephone line specially adjusted to carry 
ADSL traffic in addition to voice calls. At your network premises a Filter is required to connect to 
the line to split the digital ADSL traffic from the analogue voice traffic. 

Alternate installations may incorporate a splitter within the telephone jack point to achieve the 
same result, or, when the line is dedicated to ADSL use, no filtering (and no voice channel) at all. 

Please ensure that only the ADSL channel is connected to the Mako whichever configuration has 
been used. 

 " 

 

Your ADSL Network Provider and/or Telecom can provide you with a Manual which covers all 
aspects of connecting to the ADSL service. Please refer to this for any additional information you 
require. 

 "!

 

Under normal conditions there is nothing which requires your intervention. The Mako is 
designed to detect many forms of internal malfunction and reset itself to correct operation. 

In the worst case this may require it to download a fresh configuration from the Mako Networks’ 
Central Command Servers. You can force a reload by a simple power off and on of the unit. 

Changes to the configuration of the Mako cannot be made on the unit itself. These are 
performed by securely accessing and using the convenient menus on the Central Management 
web site www.makonetworks.com.
