Chapter 12 LAN Setup

Your G-1000 v2 checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of 
allowed or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so 
MAC-based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication. 

Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your G-1000 v2.

1 From the main menu, enter 3 to open Menu 3 – LAN Setup.

2 Enter 5 to display Menu 3.5 – Wireless LAN Setup. 

3 In the Edit MAC Address Filter field, press [SPACE BAR] to select Yes and press 

[ENTER]. Menu 3.5.1 – WLAN MAC Address Filter displays as shown next. 

802.11 Mode

 Select B Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate with the 

G-1000 v2.
Select G Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the 

G-1000 v2.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN devices to 

associate with the G-1000 v2. The transmission rate of your G-1000 v2 might be reduced.

Output Power

Press [SPACE BAR] to select 11dBm, 14dBm or 17dBm and press [ENTER]. 

Block Intra-BSS Traffic

Intra-BSS traffic is traffic between wireless stations in the same BSS. Select No to allow 

Intra-BSS traffic, select Yes to block all Intra-BSS traffic. 

When you have completed this menu, press [ENTER] at the prompt “Press ENTER to confirm or ESC to cancel” to 

save your configuration or press [ESC] to cancel and go back to the previous screen.
