MAC Filtering

You can filter Internet access for local wired and wireless clients based on MAC address.

MAC Address Control: Every client that connects to the network has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address on his or her Ethernet adapter. An administrator can have more control—and more security—over the network by specifying which MAC addresses are allowed to access the Wireless Barricade. You can enable this feature by checking the “Enabled” box.

Connection Control: Connection control allows an administrator to allow or deny clients access to the Wireless Barricade and the Internet. Check “Connection control” to control which of the wired AND wireless clients will be able to “connect” to the Wireless Barricade and to the Internet. If a client is denied “connection” to this device, it means that the client can’t access the Internet and some network resources. Choose “Allow” or “Deny” to allow or deny clients whose MAC addresses are not listed in the “Control table.”
