8.3 MAC Authentication

Use this screen to give exclusive access to specific connected devices (Allow) or exclude specific
devices from accessing the Zyxel Device (Deny), based on the MAC address of each connected
device. Every Ethernet device has a unique factory-assigned MAC (Media Access Control) address,
which consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example: 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know
the MAC addresses of the connected device you want to allow/deny to configure this screen.
Note: You can have up to 25 MAC authentication rules.
MAC filter settings and add new MAC filter rules. Click Network Setting > Wireless > MAC Authentication.
The screen appears as shown.
