Alvarion SW VERSION 5.1 MAC Address List AU only, Add MAC Address to List, Station Allowed Option

Menus and Parameters

4.2.6.4.7MAC Address List (AU only)

The MAC Address List submenu enables to define a list of up to 100 MAC addresses as belonging to devices that are either granted or denied service. When the list is defined as a Deny List, the AU will not provide services to a unit whose MAC address is included in the list, enabling to disconnect units in cases such as when the user had fraudulently succeeded to configure the unit to values different from the subscription plan. When the list is defined as an Allow List, the AU will provide services only to units with a MAC address that is included in the list.

In addition, the Station Allowed Option enables defining whether an SU with any MAC address can try to associate with the AU, or only SUs with a MAC address starting with 00-10-E7 (the supplier’s MAC addresses range).

The MAC Address List submenu includes the following:

4.2.6.4.7.1 Add MAC Address to List

Select Add MAC Address to List to add a MAC Address to the List.

4.2.6.4.7.2 Remove MAC Address from List

Select Remove MAC Address from List to remove a MAC Address from the List.

4.2.6.4.7.3 MAC Address List Action

This parameter defines the working mode of the MAC list:

„In the case of an Allowed list, if the MAC address is included in the list, the SU will be able to associate itself with the AU and receive permission for generating traffic; if it is not found in the list, it will still be associated but without the permission to generate traffic.

„In the case of a Deny list, if the MAC address is included in the list, the SU will be able to associate itself with the AU but will not be able to generate traffic; otherwise (if the address is not found in the list) the SU will be associated and will be able to generate traffic.

Possible options for this parameter are Deny and Allow. The default is Deny.

4.2.6.4.7.4Station Allowed Option

Set this parameter to Enable to allow any SU (regardless of its’ MAC address to try associating with the AU). Set it to Disable to allow only SUs whose MAC address starts with 00-10-E7 to try associating with the AU.

The default is Enabled.
