9.2.6 MAC Filter Add/Edit Screen

Every IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g 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.
If you set the filter to deny access and add the MAC address of a connected
device, the ZyWALL drops the device's connection immediately. However, if you
set the filter to allow only the specified MAC addresses, the ZyWALL does not
immediately disconnect all connected wireless clients.
To change your ZyWALL's MAC filter settings, click Device Operation > Device
Configuration > Network > Interface > WLAN > MAC Filter > Add (or Edit).
The screen appears as shown when you click Add. You cannot edit the MAC
address if you click Edit.
