Setting Up Access Control

Access control lets you specify which computers can send or receive information through the wireless device to the wired network.

Each wireless-enabled computer has a unique MAC address. You can restrict access by creating an access control list that includes only the MAC addresses for computers you want to access your wired network.

To find the MAC address (AirPort ID) of your computer’s AirPort Card, click the AirPort button in the Network pane of System Preferences.

To set up the access control list:

1Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup. Enter the password if necessary.

2Click the AirPort button, and then click Access.

3Choose Timed Access or RADIUS from the MAC Address Access Control pop-up menu, depending on the device you’re setting up.

ÂIf you choose Timed Access, click the Add (+) button and enter the MAC address and description or name of the computers you’re allowing to access the network. You can also click This Computer to add the MAC address and name of the computer you’re using to set up this wireless device. Double-click the computer in the list and choose a value from each pop-up menu. Choose a day of the week or Everyday from the day pop-up menu, and then choose either “all day” or “between” from the other pop-up menu. If you choose “between,” you can edit the times of the day by double-clicking in the time fields.
