Mac Authentication Settings - HP PS110 Configuration And Administration Manual

MAC authentication settings

For a more secure wireless network, you can specify that only certain wireless computers can
connect to the router. Up to 20 MAC addresses can be added to the MAC Filtering Table.
When enabled, all registered MAC addresses are controlled by the access rule.
MAC Authentication is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which wireless
computers are allowed on the network. By setting the access rule to Allow only stations in
list, any wireless computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list
is denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
in your network to allow network access, or copy the MAC address by selecting the name of
the computer from Choose a PC. By setting the access rule to Block all stations in list,
you can block specific wireless computers from accessing the network by adding them to the
filter list. A maximum of 20 rules can be defined.
This page includes the following settings.
