Load ACL from Wireless Client List

The Load ACL from wireless client List option, from the Special Functions menu,
takes all currently associated wireless clients and creates an ACL from them. This
builds an ACL without you having to manually type addresses. Edit the ACL using
the add and delete functions.
1 Select Special Functions from the Main Menu.
2 Select Load ACL from wireless client List to add the addresses of associated
wireless clients to the ACL.

Filtering

The AP has two types of filtering: address filtering and type filtering. This section
explains the two types of filtering and how to use them.

Address Filtering

The AP can keep a list of the MAC addresses of wireless clients that are disallowed
from associating with it. The Disallowed Addresses option provides security by
preventing unauthorized access by known devices. Use the option for preferred
association of wireless clients to APs. To filter by MAC address, follow the
procedure below.
1 Select Set Address Filtering from the Main Menu, which generates the Disallowed
Addresses list window.
2 View the list to determine whether you would like to add or delete addresses from
the list.

Adding Disallowed Wireless Clients

To add wireless clients to the Disallowed Addresses list, do the following:
1 Select Set Address Filtering from the Main Menu.
2 Select Add [F2]. The AP prompts for a MAC address.
00:00:00:00:00:00
3 Enter the appropriate MAC address. You can enter MAC addresses without colons.

Removing Disallowed Wireless Clients

To remove wireless clients from the Disallowed Addresses list, do the following:
1 Select Set Address Filtering from the Main Menu.
2 Highlight the MAC address using the Up or Down Arrows.
3 Select Delete [F1] to delete the MAC address.

Packet types supported for the type filtering function include the 16-bit DIX
Ethernet types. The list can include up to 16 types.
