4.4 The MAC Filter Screen

The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL G-220 v2 to give exclusive access to (Accept) devices or exclude devices from (Reject) connecting to the ZyXEL G-220 v2. Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the device(s) to configure this screen.
