Chapter 4 Wireless LAN
4.6 MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the ZyXEL Device (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 ZyXEL Device’s MAC filter settings, click Network > Wireless LAN > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.
