Chapter 10 Interface

If you set the filter to deny access and add the MAC address of a connected device, the ZyWALL drops the device’s connection immediately. However, if you set the filter to allow only the specified MAC addresses, the ZyWALL does not immediately disconnect all connected wireless clients.

To change your ZyWALL’s MAC filter settings, click Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter > Add (or Edit). The screen appears as shown when you click Add. You cannot edit the MAC address if you click Edit.
