Chapter 4 Wireless LAN

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

If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local 
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the Prestige may be inconvenient for 
some valid WLAN clients. 

In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as 
the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as “AP” here) in order to 
associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure the settings on the AP and 
then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.

OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP’s SSID 
and WEP or WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within 
transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA-PSK key for you if 
you didn’t configure one manually.

Note: OTIST replaces the pre-configured wireless settings on the wireless clients.

1 Configure the SSID and Security Mode in the Wireless screen. If you configure WEP, 

you can’t configure WPA or WPA-PSK. 

2 Use the MAC Filter screen to restrict access to your wireless network by MAC address. 

3 If you have OTIST-enabled clients, configure OTIST in the OTIST screen. OTIST 

transfers device SSID and WEP or WPA-PSK key settings (if enabled) to wireless 
clients.
