Central Management System
Bridged Ethernet should only be used if required by your ISP. It's used when Ethernet
frames are to be sent and received directly over the DSL connection.
If either IP or Bridged Ethernet are selected, the DHCP, WAN IP, Network Mask and
Default Gateways must be configured.
IP is only available on Ethernet-connected CPEs, and configuration follows 'DHCP
Settings'.
Internet Service Provider: The CMS provides you with a list of ISPs and common plans. If your ISP and/
or plan aren't listed, click the ISP Plan Request to choose the connection
type (connection types are limited to the selected CPE).
Plan:
Your plan is normally tied to your ISP, but you can re-assign it here.
5.1.1 Cellular Settings
The following options apply if you are using a cellular network for connectivity, or your CPE allows for a
cellular failover solution.
If 'Cellular' is chosen as the primary connection, WAN/Internet failover is not available.
SIM Card PIN:
Enter your PIN.
SIM Card PIN Again:
It's important you re-type this manually, rather than attempt to copy and
paste this field. This check helps reveal discrepancies.
Access Point Name:
Enter your APN (your ISP plan selection may have filled this in for you). It
tells your carrier what type of network gateway your system should use.
5.1.2 PPP Account Settings
The following options apply if your CPE is connected via PPP. PPP is used for an ADSL configuration, and
mainly used to establish a direct connection between two networking nodes.
Username:
Enter your username.
Password:
Enter your password.
Confirm Password:
It's important you re-type this manually, rather than attempt to copy and
paste this field. This check helps reveal discrepancies.
5.1.3 DHCP Settings
If your WAN IP address is dynamically allocated via DHCP, check the DHCP checkbox.
DHCP Client Hostname:
This should be provided by your reseller and rarely needs to change. When
installing new CPEs on the network, this hostname stays the same.
Mako WAN IP:
With an Ethernet model configuration, this IP address is the external
address allocated to the CPE.
Network Mask:
If DHCP is disabled, enter the Network Mask here. A network mask identifies
which part of an address is to be used for an operation, such as making a
TCP/IP connection.
Default Gateway:
If DHCP is disabled, enter the Default Gateway address here. The Gateway
Address (or Default Gateway) is a router interface connected to the local
network used to send packets out of the local network. Often the default
gateway is a reserved range of IP numbers, such as 10.1.x.x, or 192.168.x.x
5.1.4 DNS Settings
The following options configure a gateway to resolve domain name addresses like www.address.com to
numerical IP addresses.
