41.1.1 MAC Address Filter Setup
Your ZyWALL checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of
allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so
MAC-based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.
Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your ZyWALL.
1 From the main menu, enter 7 to open Menu 7 - WLAN Setup.
2 Enter 1 to display Menu 7.1 - Wireless Setup.
3 In the Edit MAC Address Filter field, press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press
[ENTER]. Menu 7.1.1 - WLAN MAC Address Filter displays as shown next.

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyWALL and the wireless stations
must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 ASCII characters
or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
Note: Enter “0x” before the key to denote a hexadecimal key. Don’t
enter “0x” before the key to denote an ASCII key.
