Connecting Your Mako Device
1. Connect LAN Ports to Your Local Network
Use your Mako managed switch’s LAN 1 – 48 ports to connect to your local network, as needed.
The LAN 1 port is typically used to connect to your Mako edge device or to existing switch infrastructure.
2. Mount Mako Device (Optional)
Mount your Mako managed switch using the included kit, if desired.
3. Connect to Power
Connect the power port on the back of your Mako managed switch to a power outlet using the power adapter and power cord.
4. Log In to the Mako CMS (Optional)
Your Mako device gets its configuration from the Mako Central Management System (CMS). Your Mako Networks reseller should have preconfigured a profile for your Mako device in the Mako CMS and should also have provided you with login credentials to access the Mako CMS to control and manage your Mako device.
The Mako CMS can be accessed by clicking the “Login” link at:
In the Mako CMS, you can verify that important network settings are correct, such as VLAN configurations.
