7.6 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG318S to give exclusive access to up to
32 devices (Allow) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the NBG318S (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 NBG318S's MAC filter settings, click Network > Wireless LAN > MAC
Filter. The screen appears as shown.

DESCRIPTION
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA/WPA2 key
management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is
the WPA/WPA2 equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP
and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update
Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mode. The NBG318S default
is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
