4.2.6 Access Control Settings
The NP725 supports various methods to authenticate clients from using wireless LAN. The default policy is unlimited access without any authentication required. To restrict the station number of wireless connections, simply change the Maximum number of stations to a desired number. For example, while the number of station is set to 20, only 20 stations are allowed to connect to this VAP.
For MAC ACL control, the supported methods include:
Disable: No MAC address check required
Allow List: Deny all except allowed ones in the list
Deny List: Allow all except denied ones in the list
RADIUS ACL: Authenticate the incoming MAC address by RADIUS
The one selected in the Access Control Type is the activated policy while the rest of the options are inactive.
Disable
No MAC address check required.
Allow List
When the policy is set to Allow List, all wireless connections to the VAP will be denied except for those allowed MAC addresses listed. For each allowed MAC address, the administrator can still enable or disable the rule applied to the specified one. For example, 11:22:33:44:55:66 is in the allow list; to temporarily deny its access, we can disable the rule on it.
