MAC Filter
18.1 Overview
You can configure the EMG to permit access to clients based on their MAC addresses in the MAC Filter
screen. This applies to wired and wireless connections. 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.
18.2 The MAC Filter Screen
