Add hardware addresses to a wireless access point (WAP)
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a WAP is configured with a list of MAC addresses (also called
“hardware addresses”) of devices that are allowed to gain access to the network through the WAP.
If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device attempting to access the network, the WAP
denies the device access to the network. If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the printer’s MAC
address must be added to the WAP’s list of accepted MAC addresses.
