Third Party VPN
If you use a non-Mako router to connect to the Internet at a remote site, you can create a
VPN connection between your Mako and the third-party device.
The third-party device must support:
•
IPSec VPN’s
•
3DES IPSec Encryption Algorhythm
•
MD5 Authentication Algorhythm
•
Diffie-Hillman 1024 Public Key Algorhythm
•
Support for Pre-Shared Keys
In addition both the Mako and the third-party device should have static public IP Addresses in
order that the VPN be kept alive for any length of time.
To configure the Mako to be able to connect to a third-party device click on the Add Third
Party Device sub-menu.
Add Third Party Device
Type in the location of your non-Mako router, enter its public IP Address and provide the
network details of the LAN behind it. Then click Add and Create VPN. This will take you back
to the Mako to Mako VPN page.
The third-party device will appear at the bottom of the right-hand Mako list. Select that device
and you will see a screen like the one over page.
