10.10.1 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 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.
