Chapter 9 Device Network Settings 9.2.6 MAC Filter Add/Edit Screen Every IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g 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 addresses of the devices to configure this screen. If you set the filter to deny access and add the MAC address of a connected device, the ZyWALL drops the device's connection immediately. However, if you set the filter to allow only the specified MAC addresses, the ZyWALL does not immediately disconnect all connected wireless clients. To change your ZyWALL's MAC filter settings, click Device Operation > Device Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter > Add (or Edit). The screen appears as shown when you click Add. You cannot edit the MAC address if you click Edit.
