The access point can be configured to allow or reject clients access to the network. This is 
achieved by checking the client MAC address against an access control list programmed by the 
network administrator. Three filtering modes are supported by the access point:- 
 

Disabled 

Allows all clients to access the network irrespective of their MAC 
address (Default mode) 

Allow 

Allows network access to all clients whose MAC addresses match 
those in the Filtering list 

Reject 

Rejects network access to all clients whose MAC addresses 
match those in the Filtering list 

 
The filtering mode is selected by the pull-down box in the upper part of the screen and only one 
filtering mode can be active at any time.  
 

 

Up to 32 separate MAC addresses can be listed in the access control list. Identify the required 
MAC addresses for the access control list and then manually enter these addresses into the list.  
The MAC address of the clients can be found in a number of ways including the Status screen on 
page 28, the client device label, ARP requests from the PC etc. 
 
When the required MAC addresses have been entered into the table, tick the check-box alongside 
the address field to confirm that the address is to be subject to the filter. Click the Apply button to 
implement the access control list filtering mode.  
 
For more secure applications, then the high level of log-in integrity and key management of the 
IEEE802.1x authentication system is strongly recommended and is described in page 25.
