Access Control
The Access Control feature allows you to determine which Wireless Stations can use the
Access Point. You need to identify each Wireless Station by its Hardware or physical Address.
On Windows, you can determine the Hardware (physical) Address using WinIPCfg, as follows:
1. Use Start - Run to open the "Run" dialog.
2. Type
WINIPCFG
and press Enter (or click OK).

3. WinIPCfg will then run, as shown above.
4. Select your Wireless adapter from the drop-down list, and check the Adapter Address field.
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must use the same settings, as follows:
Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations must use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point
they wish to connect to.
WEP The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
for WEP (Off, 64 Bit, or 128 Bit).
WEP Key: If WEP is enabled, the Key Table (for 64 Bit encryption) or
Key (for 128 Bit Encryption) must be the same on the Wireless Stations
and the Access Point.
WEP Authentication: If WEP is enabled, all Wireless Stations must
use the same setting as the Access Point (either "Open System" or
"Shared Key").
