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

Protect your credentials. Do not write your password down or give it to anyone else, not even to Mako Support personnel or sanctioned Managed Service Providers. They will never ask for your password. 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 External Antennas

LTE Antennas

Mako 5600-LTE and Mako 5600-LTE US
The Mako 5600-LTE and Mako 5600-LTE US come with two LTE antennas. Attach these antennas to the Mako device as shown.

5G Antennas

Mako 5600-5G
The Mako 5600-5G comes with four 5G antennas. Attach these antennas to the Mako device as shown.

2. Connect WAN Port to Your Broadband Modem (Optional)

LAN 4 (WAN 2) Port

PoE
To deploy your Mako 5600 device as a security gateway using PoE, connect its LAN 4 port to your broadband modem.

NOTE: LAN 4 must be converted to WAN 2 in the Mako CMS to deploy in this configuration (see Step 5).

WAN Port

Power Outlet
To deploy your Mako 5600 device as a security gateway using a power outlet, connect its WAN port to your broadband modem.

NOTE: you will need to purchase a power supply from Mako Networks to deploy in this configuration.

3. Connect LAN Ports to Your Local Network

LAN 1, LAN 2, LAN 3, and LAN 4 Ports

Use the LAN ports to connect to your local network, as needed.

NOTE: if the WAN port is in use for PoE and WAN connectivity is needed, the LAN 4 port can be used for WAN instead of LAN (see Step 5).

4. Connect to Power

WAN (PoE) Port

PoE
To use PoE to power your Mako 5600 device, its WAN port must be connected to a PoE port on another device that can provide power, such as a Mako Managed Switch.

DC12V Port

Power Outlet
If you are not using PoE, you must purchase a power supply from Mako Networks to connect your Mako 5600 device’s DC12V port to a power outlet.

5. Mount Mako Device (Optional)

Mounting Options: wall/ceiling, in-ceiling, pole, T-Rail clips, junction plate

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:

https://makonetworks.com/

In the Mako CMS, you can verify that important network settings are correct, such as your Wi-Fi and cellular configurations.

NOTE: if you need to deploy this Mako device using both PoE and WAN connectivity, you must convert LAN 4 to WAN 2 in the Mako CMS. This may have been preconfigured by your Mako Networks reseller.

Disposal of Old Electrical Appliances

The European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain, and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance, it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.
