Firewall Settings - Kyocera KR2 User Manual

MAC ADDRESS FILTER (NETWORK FILTER)
The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the
unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized
wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the
manufacturer of the network adapter.

Turn MAC Filtering OFF: When "OFF" is selected, MAC addresses are not used to

Turn MAC Filtering ON and ALLOW computers listed to access the network: When
"ALLOW" is selected, only computers with MAC addresses listed in the MAC Filtering

list is refused access to the network.

FIREWALL SETTINGS

The router provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the
router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port,
thereby making your LAN invisible to Internet cyberattackers. However, some network
applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in
the firewall to function correctly. The options on this page control several ways of opening the
firewall to address the needs of specific types of applications. See also
