VMG1312-B10C User’s Guide

This screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to give exclusive access to specific devices 
(Allow) or exclude specific devices from accessing the ZyXEL Device (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 addresses of the devices to configure this screen.

Wireless 
Network Name 
(SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is 
associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. 

Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN. 

Max clients

Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot 
obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
