Example:
In this scenario, there are three clients listed in the Control Table. Clients 1 and 2 are
wireless, and client 3 is wired.
1. The "MAC Address Control" function is enabled.
2. "Connection control" is enabled, and all of the wired and wireless clients not listed in the
"Control table" are "allowed" to connect to this device.
3. "Association control" is enabled, and all of the wireless clients not listed in the "Control
table" are "denied" to associate to the wireless LAN.
4. Clients 1 and 3 have fixed IP addresses either from the DHCP server of this device or
manually assigned:
ID 1 - "00-12-34-56-78-90" --> 192.168.12.100
ID 3 - "00-98-76-54-32-10" --> 192.168.12.101
Client 2 will obtain its IP address from the IP Address pool specified in the "DHCP
Server" page or can use a manually assigned static IP address.
If, for example, client 3 tries to use an IP address different from the address listed in the
Control table (192.168.12.101), it will be denied to connect to this device.
5. Clients 2 and 3 and other wired clients with a MAC address unspecified in the Control
table are all allowed to connect to this device. But client 1 is denied to connect to this
device.
6. Clients 1 and 2 are allowed to associate to the wireless LAN, but a wireless client with a
MAC address not specified in the Control table is denied to associate to the wireless
LAN. Client 3 is a wired client and so is not affected by Association control.
