11.4 The MAC Filter Screen

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG5715 to give exclusive access to devices
(Allow) or exclude devices from accessing the NBG5715 (Deny). Every Ethernet device has a
unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and
consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know
the MAC address of the devices to configure this screen.
To change your NBG5715's MAC filter settings, click Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > MAC
Filter. The screen appears as shown.

NBG5715 User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Enter a password (up to 127 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external authentication server and the NBG5715.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your
NBG5715. The key is not sent over the network.
The NBG5715 automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wireless and
wired networks after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to send the
username and password again before it can use the wireless and wired
networks again. Some wireless clients may prompt users for a username and
password; other clients may use saved login credentials. In either case, there
is usually a short delay while the wireless client logs in to the wireless network
again.
Enter the time in seconds from 0 to 999999.
Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG5715.
Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen.
