Mac Address Authentication - Motorola Netopia Embedded Software Handbook

MAC Address Authentication

Enhanced in Software Version 8.5, MAC Address Authentication allows you to specify which client PCs are
allowed to join the LAN by specific hardware address. Once it is enabled, only entered MAC addresses that have
been set to Allow will be accepted onto the LAN. Alternatively, you can prevent access by certain client PCs by
specifying only those to be denied.
