Page 71: Access Control
Glossary Access Control Authorized stations are identified by the MAC Address of the PC Card in the Access Control Table that is loaded into the Access Point as part of the configuration. With this security feature enabled, the Access Point ignores all requests to forward data to/from the wireless devices that are not identified in the Access Control Table. - Page 72 Glossary When used for passwords, alphanumerical characters expand the number of possible code combinations for each single character. For example: Numerical values would allow you to select from 10 different values per character only, in the range of ’0-9’. Alphabetical values would allow you to select from 26 different values per character only, in the range of ’a-z’.
