Configuring Group MAC Access Control Lists

This configuration is optional. If you use Symbol, Proxim, or ProCurve 520WL wireless access points, AMP
enables you to specify the MAC addresses of devices that are permitted to associate with APs in the Group. Other
devices are not able to associate to APs in the Group, even if the users of those devices are authorized users on the
network.
Perform the following steps to use the MAC ACL function.
1. Browse to the Groups > MAC ACL configuration page.

Default Description
None Sets the SSID used by the Mesh Radio to connect to the mesh network.
No Enable or disable AES encryption.
Table 67
Default Description
5 Sets the factor associated with each hop when calculating the best path to the portal AP.
Higher factors will have more impact when deciding the best uplink.
4 Set the maximum number of hops for the AP to reach the Portal AP.
5 Sets the factor associated with the RSSI values used when calculating the best path to the
portal AP. Higher factors will have more impact when deciding the best uplink.
10 Specifies the minimum RSSI needed to become a mesh neighbor.
5 Sets the factor associated with Medium Occupancy when calculating the best path to the
portal AP. Higher factors will have more impact when deciding the best uplink.
7 Specifies the importance given to the most recently observed Medium Occupancy against all
of the previously viewed medium occupancies. Lower values place more importance on
previously observed Medium Occupancies.
