Wireless - MAC Filtering
The system also allows you to further secure your Wireless LAN using MAC Filtering. You can enter only the
allowed devices, or you can deny specifi c devices.
Notes:
Locating a device’s MAC Address:
Usually, the MAC Address can be found on a label, which is affi xed to the outside of the device,
and should be labeled “MAC Address. However, some times it is called something different such
as “Physical, Hardware or Device Address” but in all cases the MAC Address consists of 6 octets,
which is 12 alphanumeric characters, and should be written as xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. If you cannot fi nd
the MAC Address anywhere else, it should be on a label on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) that
connects your device to the Network.
A computer’s MAC address is easily found by going to the Command Prompt, which can be found
in Windows XP by going to “Start --> Accessories --> Run” and then type CMD, and press enter. In
Windows 7, you will press the start button and in the search bar type “CMD” and in Windows 8, from
the tile page, just type “CMD”.
Once in the Command page type [ipconfi g /all] and press enter. The MAC address will be shown as
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.
