LTE4506 User’s Guide

5.4 MAC Filter Screen

This screen allows you to configure the LTE4506 to exclude specific devices from accessing the LTE4506

(Deny). 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 addresses of the devices to configure this screen.

Encryption

Mode

Select WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2 to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients

which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as the LTE4506.

When you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen.

Select WPA/WPA2 to allow wireless devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to connect to your

LTE4506’s wireless network.

Select WPA to allow only wireless devices that support WPA to connect to your LTE4506’s wireless

network.

Select WPA2 to allow only wireless devices that support WPA2 to connect to your LTE4506’s

wireless network.

Or you can select NO ENCRYPTION to allow any client to associate this network without any data

encryption or authentication.

SSID Visibility Select Disable to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the SSID

through scanning using a site survey tool. Otherwise, select Enable.

Wi-Fi Network

Mode

If you set Wireless Band to 2.4GHz, you can use the 802.11 mode from the following:

• 802.11 bgn: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the LTE4506. The transmission rate of your LTE4506 might be reduced.

If you set Wireless Band to 5GHz, you can use the 802.11 mode from the following:

• 802.11a/n/ac: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11c compliant WLAN devices to

associate with the LTE4506.

Channel Width This field displays the wireless channel width used by LTE4506.

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps (5GHZ)

whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps

(2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ).

Channel Set the channel depending on your particular region.

Select a channel or use Auto Channel to have the LTE4506 automatically determine a channel

to use. If you are having problems with wireless interference, changing the channel may help.

Try to use a channel that is as many channels away from any channels used by neighboring APs

as possible. The channel number which the LTE4506 is currently using then displays next to this

field.

The following fields are available if you set Encryption Mode to WPA, WPA2, or WPA/WPA2.

Encryption Type Select the encryption type (AES-CCMP or AUTO) for data encryption.

Select AES-CCMP if your wireless clients can all use AES-CCMP.

Select AUTO (TKIP+AES-CCMP) to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or AES-CCMP.

Encryption Key Select ASCII in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key. Select HEX in order to enter

hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.

Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the LTE4506.

Reset Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
