Wireless MAC Filter
Use the Wireless MAC Filter menu to designate MAC addresses that are denied access or allowed access to the wireless LAN through the device.
Up to eight MAC addresses can be listed with the MAC Filter. It is important to
understand that when the MAC lter is activated there are two options for the rule
or Action used for the listed MAC addresses. When the Status is Activated, the
administrator must choose one of the following:
y Allow Association to the listed MAC addresses (and deny all
other MAC addresses to associate).
y Deny Association to the listed MAC addresses (and allow
association to others not on the list).
To use Wireless MAC Filters,
1. Select the Activated option for Status.
2. Choose the Action to either Allow Association or Deny Association
of the listed MAC addresses.
3. Type the MAC addresses effected by the chosen Action in the
standard MAC address format.
4. Click on the Apply Settings button.
When activated the lter rule becomes effective immediately. The MAC lter rule
can be deactivated by selecting the Deactivated option for Status. Deactivating
MAC lters will not change any MAC addresses entered on the list.
