Disabling WLAN Access Restrictions

If you select Disable WLAN access restrictions, then MAC-address-based restrictions
on which stations can join the WLAN are disabled; thus, any station can join. If the
WLAN uses encryption, then the station must still supply the correct encryption pass-
phrase. The Access Controls table is hidden if the current mode is Disable WLAN
access restrictions.
Allowing Only Stations Explicitly Listed in the Access
Controls Table
If you select Allow only stations listed in the Access Controls Table, then stations
entered into the access-controls table are allowed but all others are disallowed. To
add MAC addresses, see
Denying Only Stations Explicitly Listed in the Access
Controls Table
If you select Deny only stations listed in the Access Controls Table, then stations
entered into the access-controls table are disallowed but all others are allowed. To
add MAC addresses, see

Access Control Table Columns

The Access Control table contains the following columns:
Address
Six text boxes appear in which you enter the desired MAC address, in hexadecimal
digit form, two characters in each box. You can specify a full 12-hex-digit MAC address
or enter "wildcard" characters for "don't care" digits. Allowable hex-digit characters
are 0-9, a-f, and A-F. Most address-tags and software where you find MAC addresses
listed include colons or dashes to separate the address-pairs; that is provided for you
on the web page, so do not enter the colons or dashes.
Supported wildcard characters include "x", "X" and blank (space character). Wild-
cards are useful when you want to specify all MAC addresses from a given manufac-
turer. For example, by specifying only the Organizationally Unique Identifier (the first
six hexadecimal digits of any MAC address from that manufacturer is its OUI) saves
you having to enter all 24 million of them (the table size is limited in the AP/Router to
128 entries). Some manufacturers produce devices using more than one OUI, in which
case you may need to enter each applicable one.
