7.4 MAC Authentication

This screen allows you to configure the WX Device to give exclusive access to specific devices (Allow) or
exclude specific devices from accessing the WX Device (Deny) based on the device(s) MAC address.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. It 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 addresses of the device(s) you want to allow/deny to configure this screen.
Use this screen to view your WX Device's MAC filter settings and add new MAC filter rules. Click Network
