7.6 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the PLA to give exclusive access to devices (Allow) or
exclude devices from accessing the PLA (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 PLA's MAC filter settings, click Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or 5G > MAC Filter. The
screen appears as shown.
