Fixed Node Filtering on

RangeLAN2 Access Points

Proxim's RangeLAN2 Access Points are designed to prevent packets destined for a wired node from being transmitted to the wireless networks. Each Proxim RangeLAN2 product has a unique MAC address which begins with 00:20:A6. By default, packets destined for a MAC address which does not have the RangeLAN2 prefix are not transmitted to the wireless network by the Access Point. This process is called Fixed Node Filtering, Filter Fixed Nodes, or NON-RangeLAN2 Address Filter.

However, an Ethernet-ready device attached to the Ethernet Adapter will not have a MAC address with the RangeLAN2
