Chapter 4 Using the Web Configuration Interface
MAC Filtering
Clicking MAC Filtering on the left side of any Interface screen causes the “MAC Filtering” screen to appear. This feature allows the user to control the wireless net- work by denying or allowing wireless access by specifying the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the wireless client(s) allowed or denied access on the wireless network.
To create a list of MAC addresses allowed access on the network, activate “Allow only stations in list” by clicking on the appropriate radio button. Then, enter the wireless device’s MAC address in the appropriate text boxes, then click Add. Repeat to add more wireless devices. When applied, only the devices whose MAC addresses are listed in the “MAC Filtering Table” will be allowed access to the wireless net- work. No other wireless devices will be allowed access.
To create a list of MAC addresses denied access to the network, activate “Allow any station unless in list” by clicking on the appropriate radio button. Then, enter the wireless device’s MAC address in the appropriate text boxes, then click Add. Repeat to add more wireless devices. When applied, only the devices whose MAC addresses are listed in the “MAC Filtering Table” will be denied access to the wireless network. All other wireless devices will be allowed access.
