7.4 The MAC Authentication Screen
This screen allows you to configure the VMG to give exclusive access to specific devices (Allow) or
exclude specific devices from accessing the VMG (Deny). 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:C5:01:23:45. You need to know the MAC
addresses of the devices to configure this screen.
Use this screen to view your VMG’s MAC filter settings and add new MAC filter rules. Click Network
Setting > Wireless > MAC Authentication. The screen appears as shown.
