Configuring the Advanced Settings
Note:
uIf you have activated MAC access control and want to use WPS, please note that only clients already included in the MAC address list can register via WPS.
uIf you activate MAC access control, you must at least enter the PC from which you are configuring the Gigaset SE366 WLAN. If you fail to do this, you will no longer be able to access the user interface and an error message will be shown.
uIf, by mistake, you have denied all PCs access to the Gigaset SE366 WLAN you have two options:
–You can reset the Gigaset SE366 WLAN to the factory settings (see page 20).
–You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SE366 WLAN using one of the LAN con- nections (by cable). Since MAC access control only applies to PCs that are connected "wirelessly", you can use this PC to change the configuration.
