Configuring Mac Filters - ZyXEL Communications ZyAIR G-5100 User Manual

When you enable WEP encryption, you can also specify MAC addresses and pre-shared keys
of peer bridges in order to use TKIP (see
encrypt traffic between the bridges.
Note: The following screens are configurable only in Access Point and AP+Bridge
operating modes.

5.6 Configuring MAC Filters

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyAIR to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the ZyAIR (Deny
Association). 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 ZyAIR's MAC filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED
and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
Note: Be careful not to list your computer's MAC address and set the Action field to
Deny Association when managing the ZyAIR via a wireless connection. This
would lock you out.
