The Filter Control page allows you to control client communication within the
wireless network. You may enable one or more types of supported filtering;
however, some filter choices may supersede others. Configure the options as
described below. When you are finished, click Apply.
Local MAC Authentication—Client computers can be filtered using the
unique MAC addresses of their network cards. To build the MAC
Authentication Table, enter a MAC address in the space provided, choose the
permission, and click Update. MAC addresses are listed in the MAC
Authentication Table in the order that they were entered. The Local MAC
Authentication parameters are described in the following table:
Default Description

(minutes) dynamically re-assign a session key to a
connected client station.
0 Defines how long the RADIUS server will
(seconds) dynamically reassign session keys to
connected client stations.

Enter the MAC address of a client for the access control. You
can find the MAC address of a network card as follows:
Windows 95/98/ME—Click Start/Run. Type winipcfg and
press Enter. The MAC address is in the Adapter
Address section.
Windows NT4/2000/XP—At the command prompt, type
ipconfig /all and press Enter. The MAC address is listed as the
Physical Address.
Linux—Run the command "/sbin/ipconfig." The card's MAC
address is the value after the word "HWaddr."
Allows or denies access to the access point of devices
matching the specified MAC address.
Click Update to refresh the MAC Authentication Table. To
avoid the possibility of entering an invalid MAC address on
the Authentication page, always click Update after typing the
address. If you press Enter, address error checking does
not occur.
