WAP5705 User’s Guide

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the WAP5705 to give exclusive access to devices 
(Allow) or exclude devices from accessing the WAP5705 (Deny). 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.
