MAC Address Access Control
In 802.11b, the MAC Address may be used as a means to control network access. If you choose Disable MAC Address Access Control, all clients within range of your Access Point can access your WNP1000 Wireless AP and its associated network if you don’t use other means of protection (such as WEP).
To enable MAC Address Access Control, click on Enable and then click Apply. Click on Allow (beside Access Control Mode). Next, enter a list of MAC addresses of clients that you wish to allow on your network. To do so, click Add and type in the MAC Address of each client in the
Uniden’s client MAC Address can be found listed on the product label. For 802.11b clients, you can find the MAC Address listed on the package of the client network interface
card. It consists of 6 pairs of characters, such as 00:30:AB:00:00:01.
After you have finished entering all MAC addresses, click Apply to save your settings.
You may also delete or modify MAC addresses in the list by clicking on the button by the address, and then clicking Delete or Modify on the WLAN Access Control page
You may also choose to reverse the meaning of the MAC Address list by clicking Block next to Access Control Mode. Doing so will cause the WNP1000 Wireless AP to permit all clients EXCEPT those whose MAC addresses are on the list to have access to your network.
