CHAPTER 10 MAC Filter Screen 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses how you can use the Wireless > MAC Filter screen. The MAC filter function allows you to configure the NWA to grant access to the NWA from other wireless devices (Allow Association) or exclude devices from accessing the NWA (Deny Association). Figure 47 MAC Filtering In the figure above, wireless client U is able to connect to the Internet because its MAC address is in the allowed association list specified in the NWA. The MAC address of client A is either denied association or is not in the list of allowed wireless clients specified in the NWA. 10.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter Use the Wireless > MAC Filter screen to specify which wireless station is allowed or denied access to the NWA (see Section 10.4 on page 103). 10.3 What You Need To Know 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 each device to configure MAC filtering on the NWA. NWA1100-N User's Guide 102
