MAC Address Authentication
Enhanced in Firmware Version 8.5, MAC Address Authentication allows you to specify which client PCs are
allowed to join the LAN by specific hardware address. Once it is enabled, only entered MAC addresses that have
been set to Allow will be accepted onto the LAN. Alternatively, you can prevent access by cer tain client PCs by
specifying only those to be denied.
To enable MAC Address Authentication, select MAC Address Authentication, and press Return.
The Authorized MAC Addresses screen appears.
From the MAC Authentication Mode pull-down menu, select the mode you want to implement:
• Disabled - turns MAC Authentication off.
