Belkin F5D7632uk4A user manual Setting MAC-Address Filtering, DMZ Demilitarized Zone

Manually Configuring your Router

Setting MAC-Address Filtering	1
The MAC-address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access	2
the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you
enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on
your network to allow network access to each. The “Block” feature lets you turn on	3
and off access to the network easily for any computer without having to add and
remove the computer’s MAC address from the list. To enable this feature, select
	4
“Enable MAC Address Filtering” (1). Next, select the access rule as “Allow” or
“Deny”.
Then, enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by selecting from	5
the “DHCP Client List” drop-down box (2) and the ID to copy to (3) before clicking
“Copy to”. As an alternative method, click in the space provided (4) [Designer:
	6
pls callout (4) in the screenshot] and enter the MAC address of the computer you
want to add to the list. Click “Apply Changes” (5) to save the settings. Click “Apply
Changes” to save the settings.	7
Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using
to access the Router’s administrative functions (the computer you are using now).	8

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted 2-way Internet access. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an application such as a game or video-conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks.
