MAC Filter
14.1  Overview
This chapter discusses MAC address filtering.
You can configure the ZyXEL Device to permit access to clients based on their MAC addresses in the 
MAC Filter screen. This applies to wired and wireless connections.
14.1.1  What You Need to Know
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.
14.2  The MAC Filter Screen
Use the MAC Filter screen to allow wireless clients access to the ZyXEL Device. To change your 
ZyXEL Device’s MAC filter settings, click Security > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.
