6.5 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the G-1000 to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the G-1000 (Deny Association). 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 devices to configure this screen.

The WLAN Adapter drop down list box is only available when you have an external wireless card inserted in the G-1000. No matter whether you select Built-inor Removable, the configuration screens are the same for each interface.

To change your G-1000’s MAC filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under

ADVANCED and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
