Working with Mako Network

Actual Guide
Anybody using MAKO will already have a back office network configured.
Once the Edge device is received, it needs to be plugged into port 3 of the MAKO router (Back Office network) to allow a network connection.
Techs will then be able to execute a script to change the Edge device’s IP address so that it can communicate with the Commander.
Make sure NVR is plugged in to a port on the MAKO router as well- It will then be on the same back office network.

May run into customer not wanting to move NVR to same network. If this happens, there are 2 options:
Forward ports
Send 2 edge devices- one for NVR, one for POS
Below are the commands the installing tech must run in the Balena UI Host OS:

Note: 192.168.13.2, .3, .4, .5 can communicate to the Commander following the Verifone standard.
Run the following, where the IP is between .2-.5, depending on which is available:
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.addresses "192.168.13.3/27"
Then run:
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.gateway "192.168.13.1"
nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" ipv4.method manual
nmcli con up "Wired connection 1" && reboot
This will change the IP address and reboot the edge device. Cross your fingers and run the following script to check the connection:
curl -k https://192.168.31.11/cgi-bin/CGILink?cmd=vAppInfo
You should see the following if it's good:
