Mac Address Filter Settings - Siemens Gigaset WLAN Operating Instructions Manual

MAC Address Filter Settings

This option is only available in Access point mode.
In the MAC Filter screen you can enter up to 32 PCs that are allowed to access your local
network. All other computers will be denied access. Access control is based on the MAC
address (hardware address of a network adapter) of the devices. For wireless network
adapters in the Gigaset product family (e.g. Gigaset USB Adapter 54) you can use the
supplied configuration program to view the MAC address or take it from the sticker on
the underside of the network adapter. In addition, you can find out the MAC addresses
of all the network adapters in your PC by entering IPCONFIG /ALL at the command
prompt of your Windows operating system.
