Network configuration 27
Renkforce PL500D WiFi
To use the WLAN filter, enable the option Enable filters. Now you can enter
various network devices by means of what is known as your MAC address
for access to your PL500D WiFi. Confirm each entry with Add.
Approved Wi-Fi stations
Network devices or stations co
nnected to your PL500D WiFi are automati-
cally listed, that is, to enable an already connected station for the
PL500D WiFi, simply select the MAC address of the respective device and
c
onfirm it with Add. This then appears under Approved WLAN stations. To
remove
an enabled station, select its MAC address and confirm it with
Delete.
The Wi-Fi filter can only be set for stations connected directly to the access
point (not the g
uest account).
The MAC address designates the hardware
interface of each individual net-
work device uniquely (e.g. the WLAN adapter of a computer or the Ethernet
port
of a printer). It consists of six double-digit hexadecimal numbers, each
separated by a colon (e.g. 00:0B:3B:37:9D:C4). The MAC address is on the
housing of the device..
You can easily determine the MAC address of a
Windows computer by open-
ing the window with the command prompt under Start -> All Programs ->
Accessories -> Command Prompt. Enter the command IPCONFIG /ALL
here. The MAC address is displayed under
the designation Physical
address.
After entering the MAC addresses, do not forget to click the Save button. If
the entered values are incorrect (e.g. because the colons are missing), a cor-
responding error message is displayed.
Keep in mind that you also have to enter the MAC address of your own com-
puter if you are connected to the PL500D WiFi not via the Ethernet port, but
via
WLAN. Otherwise you will block your own access to the device via WLAN
by activating the WLAN filter!!
4.5.4 Parental controls
You can regulate Internet access for specific stations based on time using
this function. For instance, to protect your children from excessive Internet
use, you can define how long they may use the Internet per day.
