DESCRIPTION

Group Key

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK/

Update Timer

WPA2-PSKkey management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA/WPA2 key

 

management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is

 

the WPA/WPA2 equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and

 

all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update

 

Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSKmode. The default is 1800

 

seconds (30 minutes).

7.5 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG-417N to give exclusive access to up to 16 devices (Allow) or exclude up to 16 devices from accessing the NBG-417N (Deny). 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.

To change your NBG-417N’s MAC filter settings, click Network > Wireless LAN > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.
