Controlling Access to the Wireless Network
Access Control enables you to specify the stations are allowed to join (associate
with) your wireless networks. Access controls can be configured for each WLAN
from its respective Wireless # tab.
Access Control Options
This section describes the options that you can use to control access to the wireless
network.
• Disabling WLAN Access Restrictions: If you select Disable WLAN access
restrictions, then MAC-address-based restrictions on which stations can join
the WLAN are disabled; thus, any station can join. If the WLAN uses encryption,
then the station must still supply the correct encryption passphrase. The Access
Controls table is hidden if the current mode is Disable WLAN access restric-
tions.
• Allowing Only Stations Listed in the Access Controls Table: If you select Allow
only stations listed in the Access Controls Table, then stations entered into
the access-controls table are allowed but all others are disallowed. To add MAC
addresses, refer to “Changing the Access Controls for a WLAN” on page 145.
• Denying Only Stations Listed in the Access Controls Table: If you select Deny
only stations listed in the Access Controls Table, then stations entered into
the access-controls table are disallowed but all others are allowed. To add MAC
addresses, refer to “Changing the Access Controls for a WLAN” on page 145.
Changing the Access Controls for a WLAN
By default, the Disable WLAN access restrictions option is selected, which allows
any wireless station to gain access to the wireless network. If you want to change
this setting, follow the instructions below.

2 Click the Wireless # tab for which you want to configure the access control
