To enable roaming on your G-1000, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED and then 
the Roaming tab. The screen appears as shown.

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the G-1000 to give exclusive access to up to 32 
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the G-1000 (Deny 
Association). 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 address of the devices to configure 
this screen.

The WLAN Adapter drop down list box is only available when you have an external wireless 
card inserted in the G-1000. No matter whether you select Built-in or Removable, the 
configuration screens are the same for each interface. 

To change your G-1000’s MAC filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under 
ADVANCED and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.

have the same ESSID to allow roaming.

Port #

Enter the port number to communicate roaming information between access
