6.15 MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the G-560 to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow
Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the G-560 (Deny Association). Every Ethernet
device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and
consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the
MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.
To change your G-560’s MAC Filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under SETTINGS and then the
MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
Be careful not to list your computer’s MAC address and select Deny the following
MAC address to associate when managing the G-560 via a wireless connection. This
would lock you out.
