MAC Access Control

This feature lets you limit access to the network through the access point. You can list up to 1000 stations that are to be granted or denied access. A drop-down box lets you select the method of access control:

Disabled: Disable MAC-address access control. This is the default setting.

Accepted List: Only wireless stations whose MAC addresses are on the list are allowed to connect through the access point.

Denied List: Wireless stations whose MAC addresses are on the list are prevented from connecting through the access point.

To add a wireless station to the list, click the New MAC Address icon (a sheet of paper with one corner folded) on the left side of the MAC Access Control panel. You will be prompted to enter:

The wireless station’s MAC address.

A name for the station.

The status of the station’s entry on the list. Check the Not Use box to reverse the effect of access control on this station (for example, to deny access if Accepted List [see above] is selected). Clear the box to let the selected method of access control take effect on this station. This box has no effect if MAC-address access control is disabled.
