USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Setting MAC Address Filtering
The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify
which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to
access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.
When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client
(computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The "Block"
feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computer
without having to add and remove the computer's MAC address from the list.
To enable this feature, select "Enable MAC Address Filtering" (1). Next, enter the
MAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space provided
(2) and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list.
Click "Add" (3), then "Apply Changes" to save the settings. To delete a MAC
address from the list, simply click "Delete" next to the MAC address you wish to
delete. Click "Apply Changes" to save the settings.
Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are
using to access the Router's administrative functions (the computer you are
using now).

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be
placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing
problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application.
Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected
from hacker attacks.

To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP
field and select "Enable". Click "Apply Changes" for the change to take effect. If
you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which
WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you
wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the
DMZ host computer, select "Enable" and click "Apply Changes".
