Wireless Address Filtering
Each wireless station has a unique address, also known as a MAC address. By restricting
the MAC addresses that can connect to the wireless interface, unauthorized users can be
excluded from using the WiFlyer.
Feature Description
Enable access control Choose to disable MAC filters, or choose to allow or
deny MAC addresses listed below.
MAC address 1 – 16 Use MAC (Media Access Control) Filters to allow or
deny LAN (Local Area Network) computers by their
MAC addresses from accessing the Internet.
Port Filtering Firewall
Port filtering is used to limit the applications that can send traffic through the WiFlyer. It
can be used to limit network access by local users, for example, to prevent the use of
instant messaging software. Port filtering is handled separately for the DMZ Host.
A firewall is a program that protects the resources of one network from users from other
networks. Typically, an enterprise with an intranet that allows its workers access to the
wider Internet will want a firewall to prevent outsiders from accessing its own private data
resources.
Note:
The WiFlyer MAC Address filtering rules have precedence over the Firewall Rules.
