3.4.2.9 MAC (Media Access Control) Filter
MAC filtering is security access control method, in which the 48-bit address assigned to each network
card is used to determine access to the network. At the MAC Filter drop-down list, you can control which
PCs are permitted or denied communication with the access point depending on their MAC address. See
section 5.3 Interfaces for the addresses that apply to your unit.
Figure 3-22 shows a partial view of the configuration page and example settings for MAC Filter. (If there
is an existing MAC address, it has a Remove link option.)
