Enable MAC Filter

The Enable MAC Filter checkbox enables or disables the MAC Filter feature.

•• When the feature is enabled (checked), you must add the MAC address for the device to the Trusted Client List. If a device not in the list tries to connect to the MiFi 4510L wireless network, the connection is blocked even if the device has the correct network name (SSID) and network key (Wi-Fi passkey).

•• When the feature is disabled (un-checked), any device with the correct network name (SSID) and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) can connect to the MiFi 4510L wireless network.

Find the MAC Address on a Computer

The Media Access Controller (MAC) Address is also known as a hardware or physical address for a device (usually a network adapter). It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters (for example, 00-21-9B-1C-64-34).

You can view the MAC address for any device connected to the MiFi wireless network from the LAN screen. (See LAN on page 38.)

 Tip!  You can cut and paste your computer's MAC address from the Wi-Fi Clients section of the Wi-Fi screen.

If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can find the MAC address directly. To find the MAC address, follow one of these steps:

•• On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can find the Physical Address by running ipconfig/all from the cmd window.

»» To run ipconfig/all, select Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Accessories > Command Prompt to open the Command Prompt window. Then type ipconfig/all and press the Return or Enter key.

•• On a Mac, the MAC address is the AirPort ID.

»» To find the AirPort ID, open the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network. In the list, click AirPort. Click Advanced. A sheet opens. Click the AirPort tab. The AirPort ID is at the bottom of the sheet.

IMPORTANT  Windows only:  Make sure you get the MAC address for the wireless network adapter and not the Ethernet controller (NIC), if the computer has both.

Trusted Client List

The Trusted Client List section displays the MAC address(es) of trusted devices. Only devices in the Trusted Client List are able to connect to the MiFi 4510L wireless network.
