Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address
The optional Access Control window lets you block the network access privilege of any specified
stations through the WNDAP330 Wireless Access Point. When you enable access control, the
access point only accepts connections from clients on the selected access control list. This
provides an additional layer of security.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Log in to the WNDAP330 using the default address of http://192.168.0.235, user name of
admin and default password of password, or whatever LAN address and password you have
set up.
2. Under the Configuration tab, select Security on the main menu, select Advanced from the left-
hand menu, and then select MAC Authetication. The MAC Authetication screen will display.
Note: If configuring the WNDAP330 from a wireless computer whose MAC address is
not in the access control list, if you select Turn Access Control On, you will lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the
wireless access point from a wired computer or from a wireless computer that is
on the access control list to make any further changes.
