You can test whether you have Internet communications established by opening a web browser 
on one of your office computers and accessing two or three web sites. For example, a news web 
site (e.g. www.cnn.com) or a search engine (e.g. www.google.com). 

If you are having difficulties do try more than one web site as they are sometimes “off the air” for 
various reasons of their own. If web browsing services work then Internet access is functional and 
all other services should be available. 

Possible problems and their symptoms 

 

A problem on the Internet circuit. If you believe that the line is at fault, please contact 
your Internet Service Provider Help Desk for status information on the circuit. They will 
work in conjunction with the network service provider to resolve the problem. 

 

A faulty profile, if the configuration profile of your unit has recently been changed. 
Another possibility is that the network 

gateway

 configuration of your office computers 

has been changed. If you believe the problem is with the Mako then please contact your 
reseller, who will be able to check the status of the unit and verify the profile. 

 

Some computers on your office network can access the Internet, others cannot. Or 
perhaps some services work but others do not. Both of these indicate a faulty 
configuration of the network and/or computers in your office. If you believe the problem 
is with the configuration of the network and/or computers in your office, then please 
contact your site support organisation. 

For a detailed list of possible problems and suggested solutions refer to chapter 6 
Troubleshooting on page 11.
