permanent list (on paper, in a spreadsheet, or other computer storage) that 
includes each MAC address and a description of the device, including the name 
of the person who owns the device, etc. Also refer to section 6.4 Viewing WLAN 
User/RAP Associations, later in this chapter. 
6.2.5.1 
Adding MAC Addresses 
MAC addresses are added to the list of authorized client devices in one of two 
ways: one, you can enter the addresses one at a time, or two, you can enter the 
MAC addresses into a text file and “upload” this list into the MAC address 
database. 
To add an individual MAC address, enter it in the box labeled Address. Enter 
each MAC address in the format described above, that is, six pairs of 
hexadecimal digits (for example 00:04:16:A3:29:B7). The alphabetic values of 
hexadecimal digits—A,B,C,D,E,F—may be in either upper case or lower case. 
For Name, enter a meaningful device name or identifier, or the name of the 
person who owns the device, then select Add Address.  
To add MAC addresses from a file, either enter the file name under Add MAC 
Addresses from File 
(including drive letter and full pathname), or select the 
Browse… button to locate the file. Then, select Add. This appends the MAC 
addresses from the file to any other MAC addresses already entered into System 
Manager. 
TIP  Add one or two individual MAC addresses, then save those MAC addresses 
to a file (see “Saving MAC Addresses” later in this section). Then open the text 
file and copy the saved address(es) to a new line in the file, and edit each line to 
specify a different client device and MAC address. This way, you can create your 
list of authorized devices, save the file as a backup, and upload the file into the 
System Manager knowing that the format of the text file will be acceptable to the 
System Manager. 
6.2.5.2 Removing 
MAC 
Addresses 
To remove a MAC address, select the 
delete
 option listed next to the MAC 
address you wish to remove.  
To remove all MAC addresses, select the Remove All Addresses button under 
Remove All MAC Addresses.  
6.2.5.3 
Saving MAC Addresses 
When all additions or removals have been completed, select the Save Changes 
button at the bottom of the User Access Control section. This will record the 
MAC addresses and the User Access Control setting and activate them. 
To save the entire list of MAC addresses to a file, enter a file name in the text 
box under Save MAC Addresses to File, then select the Save to File button
