CHAPTER 13
MAC Filter Screen
13.1 Overview
This chapter discusses how you can use the Wireless > MAC Filter screen.
The MAC filter function allows you to configure the NWA to grant access to devices
(Allow Association) or exclude devices from accessing the NWA (Deny
Association).
Figure 108 MAC Filtering
In the figure above, wireless client U is able to connect to the Internet because its
MAC address is in the allowed association list specified in the NWA. The MAC
address of client A is either denied association or is not in the list of allowed
wireless clients specified in the NWA.
13.2 What You Can Do in the MAC Filter Screen
Use the Wireless > MAC Filter screen (see Section 13.4 on page 172) to specify
which wireless station is allowed or denied access to the ZyXEL Device.
