1 Introduction
Congratulations on choosing the Mako System. The Mako System oers a cloud-managed, turnkey
solution to create and manage broadband networks for small sites. With anytime, anywhere access, the
Mako System oers real-time management, reporting and proactive security in one solution.
The Mako System is focused on providing businesses with a standard of information security that meets
the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
This manual will complement your chosen Mako appliance, also known as the Customer Premise
Equipment (CPE).
Your CPE is managed remotely by Mako via a web server, using your standard Internet connection and
the Central Management System (CMS). The CMS uses a web browser for personal conguration and
reporting.
The CMS is always used with a CPE to provide reporting and conguration options via the hosted
servers. Your CPE, CMS and the hosted management servers are referred to as the Mako System.

System Overview
Your CPE checks in with the
Central Management Server/
System (CMS) every 2 minutes.
It sends its raw datalogs for
processing, and receives any
required updates.
Your CPE applies these updates to
congure your network: rewalls,
lters, email, users, VPNs, etc.
PCIDSS trac goes to your secure
network.
PCIDSS trac does NOT go to
your public network, but your
System allows you to lter access
to your public network, should
you require it.
1.0.1 What Isn't Covered
This is a guideline for using the CMS to congure and manage your CPE in a standard environment. This
manual doesn't cover the reporting aspects of the CMS and connected devices, deployment, nor certain
services such as Mako Guardian or Mako Mail. These options are covered in dierent manuals.

Are You Overpaid?What is the weight of the Earth?
Page 6 of 45 Central Management System
1.0.2 Manual Conventions
For navigation, we use this format: Main Tab > Sub-tab > ... > ... >Function. This is shorthand, asking
you to click on the rst level menu level and click on successive levels until you nd the appropriate
page.
An explanatory note. Usually not critical for the normal operation of the system.
A settings note. The note requires your attention, but due to the dierence in browsers or
conguration might not apply for the operation or conguration of the system.
A warning note. The note requires your attention and will aect the way you and other
approved users will use your system.
A danger note. The note requires your full attention and may signicantly aect your system's
integrity, cause electrical damage, data corruption or even a health and safety-related injury.
1.0.3 CMS Conventions
The CMS uses a number of user feedback and help tools to assist you in managing your network:
Hover Help ( ) Hovering over these icons provide extra info on that specic option.
Error/Warning Area If an error or warning is generated by a conguration option, the page
you've attempted to save settings on re-appears with a highlighted
message above the main body of the page.
Save when nished The interface uses a mix of dynamic data entry (for example, automatically
updated input when you click a radio button) and non-dynamic data
entry (for example, text eld entry will not be updated until you click a
Save or Add button). Some pages may have Save buttons scrolled o your
screen.
When you enter text in data elds you will not be automatically prompted
to save changes. This means navigating away from a screen without
saving changes will result in no change to your system.
Save buttons are generally in the bottom right of a page, and may also be
called Add [...], Update [...] or some other relevant call-to-action.
1.0.4 Who is this Document For?
This is the eternal question for a manual: What level of detail is comfortable for you? Too little, and this
manual might as well not exist, or you might feel inadequate to the task. Too much, and attention wanes
from important details, or you may feel we're insulting your intelligence.
The line we drew separates Action from Knowledge, or, things we want you to do, and things we
want you to know. The main body of this manual is all about what you should do to operate the CMS
safely and competently. It tells you where to nd operations or settings, and even briey expands
the enormous number of acronyms used in the Network IT industry. But it does NOT give you best
practice advice, in-depth troubleshooting, or many worked examples on how to deploy ideal or specic
congurations for your network.
There are two reasons for this.
1) Providing specic examples is a security risk to your system. Even if we recommend or indicate
ways to do specic operations (how to create a password, what to name your devices, examples of usual
IP address settings, etc.) we would be subconsciously (or even explicitly) imposing patterns on you that
hackers and other unethical types can take advantage of.
However, we do provide some examples that are fairly basic that everyone in the IT Industry knows or
should know.
2) Use the Glossary. A glossary is about as close as we can come to economically explain what many
terms in this manual mean. If background information was placed behind every option available to you
you'd never get through a site conguration.

2 Registration & Login
When your account is set up, the CMS emails you your accounts details, along with a link to log you into
your network.
The CMS has been tested against several versions of the popular browser software products. It's likely
that, due to dierent browser products, versions and settings, your view of the interface may vary
slightly from the ones illustrated in this guide.
While accessing the CMS, your browser will use a secure communication protocol, known as SSL (Secure
Socket Layer) https://, in which trac between the browser and the Central Management Servers is
encrypted.
Your browser must accept cookies and must have JavaScript enabled to access the CMS
website. These properties are set in your browser preferences and are normally enabled
by default.
2.0.1 Registration
Registration is a one-time process that activates the account created for you by your reseller on the CMS.
You'll be sent an email with a link. New user registration is done when you follow the link, either by
clicking it or pasting the link into your web browser's address window.
Home >New User Registration
nEnter the appropriate details.
You will be asked to read and acknowledge the End User License Agreement (EULA)
before you can start using your system.

Did You Google This?The top-left section dies on a common 7-part LED digit. What numbers can still be made?
Page 8 of 45 Central Management System
2.0.2 Login
nClick the link, or open your Web browser and navigate to your Mako Management CMS.
nClick the Customer Login button, top right of the window. If you're operating in a PCI environment you
will need to provide the reCAPTCHA login details.
nIf your login is incorrect you'll be asked to re-enter your information.
Logins and passwords are your last line of protection for ensuring your system remains
robust. Never give you login or password out to anyone else.
If your system has a PCI template, it has the ability to handle 2 sets of internet trac: PCI-compliant
(usually for credit card transactions), and non-PCI-compliant (for general internet trac).
If you don't have a PCI template, you have two still have two separate trac routes with our entry-level
appliances. For example, one could be used for a public, general access pipe (often called a DMZ) for a
web server. Our higher capacity appliances provide up to 4 LANs simultaneously.
While you may run separate LANs, each CPE runs on only one CMS. Only one login/
password is assigned to a user, but one user may be set up to manage several CPEs.
PCI-compliant trac requires you to change your password every 90 days. If you have
congured a non-PCI network then security is more forgiving, allowing you to maintain
or change your password as you see t.
2.0.3 Forgotten/Expired Passwords
If you forget your password, or your password has expired:
nIn the Customer Login window click Forgotten/Expired password?
nYour email notication or reseller will supply you with the necessary steps to re-enter your system.

5 Configure
The default settings, pre-congured by your reseller, will usually be ne for your network. But from time
to time you may require new features and functionality. Your reseller can advise on the appropriate
changes as your requirements change.
Most ISP plans have been pre-congured and the only entry required is selecting the appropriate plan.
Be aware that re-conguring these functions can disable critical operations of your
Mako appliance — care should be taken to ensure that conguration changes do not
compromise your oce network security or its access to the Internet. If a conguration
option is missing, this will be highlighted by .
Once you've selected a CPE in the Selection menu, you may change its parameters.
Your ability to congure CPEs may be restricted. Please consult your reseller if you
encounter any diculties.
The over-arcing process behind setting up a CPE follows 7 general areas, shown in the navigation strip:
Selection, Reports, Congure, Management, Sales, System, Help/Docs. These areas may or may not
have visibility due to an individual user's prole.
The options that appear within these areas may change depending on your CPE model, method of
connectivity, level of access and use. The following covers all options you might encounter, but it's
unlikely you'll see, or even need to change, all of them.
5.1 Configure > Internet >ISP Setup
This section congures your CPE to connect to your ISP.
Connection Type: Options are dependent on:
nthe CPE model you've selected
nthe connect type–PPP, IP, Bridged Ethernet, ADSL, Cellular
nand your ISP plan.

Checked Your Electrics?If a simple DC circuit uses 6 V at 2 mA, what's its resistance?
Page 14 of 45 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 congured.
IP is only available on Ethernet-connected CPEs, and conguration 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 eld. This check helps reveal discrepancies.
Access Point Name: Enter your APN (your ISP plan selection may have lled 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 conguration, and
mainly used to establish a direct connection between two networking nodes.
Username: Enter your username.
Password: Enter your password.
Conrm Password: It's important you re-type this manually, rather than attempt to copy and
paste this eld. 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 conguration, 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 identies
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 congure a gateway to resolve domain name addresses like www.address.com to
numerical IP addresses.

Glossary Contents
Central Management System Page 15 of 45
Congure DNS: Check to change your DNS addresses.
Primary DNS Server: Enter the address of your primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the address of your secondary DNS server.
5.1.5 Billing Settings
The following options concern your billing cycle and monthly trac thresholds.
This facility is not available where your ISP Connection Plan does not impose a trac-
charging threshold. Threshold alerts are not visible until an ISP Plan has been selected
for your CPE.
Billing Cycle Start Date: Day of the month your ISP's bills are due.
Warning Threshold: A percentage of your bandwidth allowance for the month – useful when on
a limited bandwidth ISP plan.
Absolute Threshold: A percentage of your bandwidth allowance for the month. (This is often
higher than the plan arranged with your ISP to handle high trac.)
An Absolute Threshold is necessary if your ISP has imposed trac limits on your
account. If this is selected, and the threshold is reached your Internet connection will be
cut o when this threshold is reached. It can be reactivated with manual intervention
but your connection will remain disabled until then.
5.1.6 Saving ISP Setup Changes
Save and Setup Alerts, or Save, when nished.
5.1.7 Considerations
nIf you wish to change your ISP Password you must be sure to also change it with your ISP. Take special
care to ensure that the password is entered exactly the same at both places (your reseller and your ISP).
nDon't forget to click Save to save your changes before exiting this page.
nSelect a plan similar to the one you have, or if your plan doesn't match the ISP oerings, click on the
ISP Plan Request link next to the Internet Service Provider drop menu. This form provides various
conguration options for this plan. It isn't necessary to provide all the details, as this is a suggestion
request, not an actual conguration. It's better to provide as many known details as possible to ensure
that the requested plan meets the requirements of your ISP oering.
You'll nd a full explanation of the ISP Plan Request in the Appendices.

Page 16 of 45 Central Management System
5.2 Configure >Internet > Secondary ISP Setup >Cellular Failover
Failover is a network 'safety net'. If your main network connection (PPTP, Ethernet, etc) is interrupted,
cellular-capable Mako systems are able to switch to a cellular network for continued operation. Naturally,
this option is only available if you're using cellular-capable CPEs. If cellular failover is required, ensure
that the CPE has an active SIM card inserted into the slot and is within your provider's coverage area.
We recommend testing this failover ability occasionally outside of your business hours.
To congure cellular failover for your CPE, 'Cellular' cannot be used as the primary ISP
mode.
nCheck the Enable Cellular Failover box.
Once enabled, the CMS presents the following options.
Internet Service Provider: Your cellular carrier (this might not be the same as your primary provider).
Plan: Your cellular plan type.
SIM Card PIN: Enter the SIM card details. This is optional, since not all SIM cards are
secured this way. Note that these elds are not a facility for assigning a PIN
to your SIM; this can be congured on most mobile phones.
SIM Card PIN Again: Conrm the SIM PIN.
Access Point Name (APN): This should already be populated from the ISP selection. This can be
changed if instructed by your cellular provider.
Save, or Save and Setup Alerts, when nished.

5.3 Configure > Internet >Alerts
The Mako system monitors daily trac thresholds, detects potential network attacks, or overheating:
basically, the general health of your CPE. Be aware that links in the text take you directly to that
conguration item.
5.3.1 Extraordinary Usage Alerts
Over time, the Mako System builds a prole for the usual trac patterns of your Internet connection.
Extraordinary usage is outside the norm for your CPE's internet connection. You can set threshold alerts
to trigger when the volume of extraordinary trac is attained.
Alert when over (%): A percentage of your bandwidth allowance for the day. Useful when on a
limited bandwidth ISP plan.
This threshold alert helps manage your DAILY trac, while the ISP Setup page will
contain MONTHLY threshold warnings.
5.3.2 Worm Alerts
Your CPE automatically detects PCs on your network that are infected with worms (self-replicating
malware computer programs) and stops the infected PCs from accessing the Internet. Choose your level
of detection sensitivity.
nWorm Detection Threshold: Aggressive | Moderate | Lenient
5.3.3 Firewall Alerts
Your CPE detects unapproved probes scanning your network for vulnerable or open IP ports. Choose
your level of detection sensitivity.
nPortscan Detection Threshold: Aggressive | Moderate | Lenient
Alert threshold levels relate to the number of connections detected per 10-minute
period. The scores for Aggressive, Moderate and Lenient are 1000, 1800 and 3000
connections respectively. More intense threshold levels may impact on your CPE's
connection speeds.

Do You Know Your Cables?Are two ends of a common USB cable male, female or one of each?
Page 18 of 45 Central Management System
5.3.4 Environmental Alerts
Your CPE monitors its temperature, which can be aected by an external heating or cooling source.
Alert when temperature over: Set your upper level operating temperature.
Fan speed alert: High-capacity models contain an internal fan. Check if internal cooling fans
require monitoring.
Save when nished.
5.4 Configure > Internet >IP Range
This page allows you to review your Public IP address settings if your ISP provides you with more than
one. The information on this window will be set by your reseller and in most cases will not require
modication.
If your ISP doesn't provide you with multiple IP addresses, this page won't be available.
5.4.1 Existing IP Ranges:
IP Range: The subnet mask of allowable addresses in CIDR notation.
Start / End Address: The rst 3 signicant numbers of the network system are used for the main
address.
Option: Click to delete an entry in this table.
5.4.2 Add IP Range:
Public IP Address: Enter a new range here, or click Single IP Mask for a single address.
5.4.3 Public IP Address:
Public Address: Default, or select an appropriate address from the drop-down menu.
5.5 Configure > Network >LAN 1
Your network conguration settings are pre-congured by your reseller, therefore changes shouldn't be
necessary. But if conguration changes are necessary, we recommend keeping a record of the existing
settings so you can go back to them if the new settings don't work.
Changes to any conguration settings are to be done carefully as you could disable
communications with the Internet.

5.5.1 LAN Network Configuration
You're able to rename each LAN on your system and this name will be reected in the left menu
navigation of the CMS. We suggest you choose a name more meaningful to you (eg. LAN 2 --> 'Public') if
necessary.
We have a number of Help tips ( ) available to assist you through this section.
When making changes to any of these conguration options, click Save to update the
details. There are no save prompts when leaving this page and all unsaved changes will
be lost.
Name: Rename your network to something more meaningful to you (such as
Secure Network, Oce Network, DMZ, etc.)
Allow Ping: 'Allow' lets the CPE respond to 'ping' trac on the LAN. Ping is used to test
the 'reachability' of a host using Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
The default is Deny and should only be enabled for troubleshooting.
Mako Ethernet IP address: The selected LAN port must be given a xed IP address on your network.
This is set to a default value (of 192.168.1.254 for your rst network,
192.168.2.254 for your second, etc.). It can be changed to suit the private
address architecture used on your networks. It must not be set to a public IP
address (ie. Your external IP).
Each network should be given a unique address scheme if VPN communications are to
be congured.
Subnet mask: Change the subnet mask here.
NAT: Network Address Translation (NAT) On/O. If you've been issued with
a public IP network by your ISP and you wish to use this public network
on your network port without the CPE performing a NAT function, check
O. With this disabled, PCs connected to this LAN will use real-world
IP addressing. Firewall rules still need to be created in order to access
these devices. Disabling NAT should only be used with publicly routable
IPaddresses.
Changing the NAT status will erase any Firewall rules.

DHCP On, O and Relay: DHCP allows IP addresses in a network to be assigned automatically to a
connected PC on power-up.
On: This enables the automatic assigning of local IP addresses to
connected devices.
O: New devices will require manual assignment of an IP address in the
DHCP Leases page before it can communicate with the network.
When DHCP is O, DHCP lease pools, WINS and DNS server options will be unavailable.
DHCP Relay: This disables the DHCP functionality on the CPE and pushes the capabilities
to an external DHCP server to handle the DHCP lease assignment for
the connected network devices. A VPN connection to the external DHCP
server is required. The IP address of one or 2 remote DHCP servers must
be specied in the address elds that are enabled when the relay option is
selected
DHCP Lease Pool: The CPE itself is designated as the DHCP server.
Start: The lowest address for use.
End: The highest address for use.
Dening this pool isn't mandatory and if left blank the CPE will start from
the beginning of the IP range. The reason for dening a pool is that you
may desire some addresses to be congured by DHCP and have the rest
available for static IP allocation.
The IP range will be limited by the dened subnet mask. The range is also dependent on
the dened Mako Ethernet IP address, if entered incorrectly or the wrong range is used,
this will create an error alert.
WINS Server IP (Optional): Specify a Windows Internet Name Service (WINS) server's IP here.
Internal DNS server: Primary/Secondary: Specify any internal DNS servers.
These are dierent from the public DNS server addresses specied in the Internet
conguration section.
5.5.2 Configuration-Dependent Options
Depending on the CPE being congured and your reseller or administrator's settings, other options will
be available to you on this page.
Ports Included: Displays an illustration of the rear ports of the selected CPE and highlights
the selected port in red. Click Ports Included to congure the LAN's
available ports.
VLAN Trunk: A VLAN Trunk is a port that handles trac for all congured VLANs. VLAN
Trac going across the Trunk is tagged with the 802.1q VLAN ID in the
Ethernet frame. To enable VLAN Trunk on this port, check the VLANTrunk
checkbox. This port will then be the dedicated main line for all VLAN trac.
VLANs Included: Once VLAN trunk is selected the Included VLANs will be listed here with
links to their conguration options. It includes VLANs congured in the
VLAN Setup page as well as regular LANs with a VLAN ID set.
VLAN ID: A VLAN ID is tagged onto the start of a VLAN Frame to identify which
VLAN it is from. All routers and switches that are part of the VLAN must be
congured to use the same VLAN ID.
