Important Safety Instructions
Avoiding Fire, Shock, Electrical Damage
Keep your Mako device away from water or damp environments, including wet basements and around refrigeration units. Do not place containers of fluid on the Mako device, such as drinks, vases or cleaning products.
Do not attempt to open the Mako device. There are no user-serviceable parts. Repairs may only be performed by accredited service personnel.
Observe all warnings affixed to this Mako device or its power supply.
Use surge protectors to mitigate interference and damage from lightning storms.
Password Security

On rare occasions the Mako ID may be requested. The Mako ID is printed on the back of each Mako device.
Connecting Your Mako Device
1. Attach Antennas
Cellular + Wi-Fi Antenna Configuration
Attach the paddle-shaped cellular antennas to the left and right antenna jacks on the back of your Mako device. Attach the pen-shaped Wi-Fi antenna to the center antenna jack.
NOTE: cellular data is often used for failover connectivity in addition to a wired broadband internet connection. Ensure your Mako device is positioned to receive a strong cellular signal.
Wi-Fi Antenna Configuration
Attach the pen-shaped Wi-Fi antenna to the center antenna jack on the back of your Mako device.
2. Connect WAN Port to Your Broadband Modem
Your Mako device becomes your gateway for all internet traffic.
Connect your Mako device’s WAN 1 port to your broadband modem.
You can use your Mako device’s WAN 2 port for an additional wired broadband connection.
For cellular models, up to two SIM cards can provide wireless broadband connections.
3. Connect LAN Ports to Your Local Network
Use your Mako device’s LAN 1 – 4 ports to connect to your local network, as needed.
Connect a LAN port to your network switch. In smaller networks, the Mako device could connect directly to a single device, such as a PC.
4. Connect to Power
Connect your Mako device’s DC12V port to a power outlet using the 12 V DC power adapter.
5. Mount Mako Device (Optional)
Mount your Mako device using the included stand and hardware, if desired.
NOTE: your Mako device must be located in a position with minimal radio interference and strong signal reception to use cellular and wireless services.
6. 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 cellular failover configurations.
