Allowing selected PC's access your local network

In this next step you can specify up to 32 PC's that are allowed to access your LAN. All

other computers will be denied access. Access control is based on the MAC address of

the specified PC's.

The access control is disabled by default. This means that all PC's that use the correct

SSID can log in. If you wish to keep this setting, click on NEXT.

If you wish to use the access control, select MAC access control lis t. The access control

list that was last defined is displayed and enabled. Now only these PC's can log in to your

router.

◆To go to the next step in the Security Setup, click on NEXT.

!

When you activate the MAC access control you should at least enter the

PC from which you configure the router, otherwise you will no longer be

able to access the router's user interface and will see an error message to

this effect.

If you have denied all your PC's access to the router by mistake, you have

two options:

◆You can completely reset the router (see page108).

◆You can connect one PC to the router by one of the LAN connections.

Because the MAC access control only applies to PC's that are connec-

ted 'wirelessly', you can use this PC to change the router's configura-

tion.

iYou will find a detailed example of how to generate a MAC access

control list in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the supplied

CD.
