MAC Filtering
You can filter Internet access for local wired and wireless clients
based on MAC address.
MAC Address Control: Every client that connects to the network
has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address on his or her
Ethernet adapter. An administrator can have more control—and
more security—over the network by specifying which MAC
addresses are allowed to access the Wireless Barricade. You can
enable this feature by checking the “Enabled” box.
Connection Control: Connection control allows an administrator
to allow or deny clients access to the Wireless Barricade and the
Internet. Check “Connection control” to control which of the wired
AND wireless clients will be able to “connect” to the Wireless
Barricade and to the Internet. If a client is denied “connection” to
this device, it means that the client can’t access the Internet and
some network resources. Choose “Allow” or “Deny” to allow or
deny clients whose MAC addresses are not listed in the “Control
table.”
