6.4 Configuring MAC Filters

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 addresses of the devices to configure this
screen. To change your Prestige's MAC filter settings, select a device and then click
Configuration > WLAN > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.
Chapter 6 Configuration > WLAN
The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) is for enabling RTS/CTS.
Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake.
Setting this value to be larger than the maximum MSDU (MAC service data unit) size
turns off RTS/CTS. Setting this value to zero turns on RTS/CTS.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a new value between 0
and 2432.
This is the threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent.
Select the check box to change the default value and enter a value between 256 and
2432.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides data encryption to prevent unauthorized
wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the wireless network. Select
Disable to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without any
data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. Although WEP is
functional at 5.5 and 11 Mbps, there is significant performance degradation when
using WEP at these rates.
If you chose 64-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter any 5 characters
(ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each
key.
If you chose 128-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 13 characters
(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each
key.
If you chose 256-bit WEP in the WEP Encryption field, then enter 29 characters
(ASCII string) or 58 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each
key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the same
on the access points as they are on the wireless client computers.
