Enable MAC filtering
check box.
2.
From the drop-down list, select
Allow
, and then click
Apply
. In this case, any client whose MAC address is not
listed in the MAC address table will be able to access your network.
3.

, type the adapter MAC address of the computer or device to which you want to deny
access, and then click
Apply
. Repeat this step for any additional clients to which you want to deny connection
permission.
4.
In the
MAC address table
, clear the
Allow
check box next to the MAC address of each device you want to deny
access your network.
To deny unspecified MAC addresses

Under
Specify MAC address
, type the MAC address of the client to which you want to grant access, and then
click
Apply
. Repeat this step for any additional clients to which you want to grant connection permission.
Note
Be sure to type the MAC address of each of your network adapters so that each of your networked devices can
access the network.
4.
In the MAC address table, select the
Allow
check box next to the MAC address of each device to which you want
to grant wireless access to your network.
Client Filtering
You can use client filtering to control the Internet access of each client on your network. This feature is particularly
useful when you want to prevent your children from playing specific Internet games, or you want to restrict the time
that people connected to your network spend surfing the Web.
To configure client filtering, you must have the following information:
O
The ports and protocols for the type of application data to which you want to control access.
O
The IP address assigned to the client computer.
For optimal performance of client filtering, it is recommended that you assign static IP addresses to each of the
client devices whose access to the Internet you want to control. For information about assigning static IP addresses
to a computer, see the Broadband Network Utility Help.
If you choose not to assign a static IP address, you can determine the IP address assigned to the client computer by
checking the DHCP client list on the Home page of the Base Station Management Tool.

The following illustration shows the Client Filtering page of the Base Station Management Tool.
To enable client filtering
1.
Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click
Security
.
2.
On the
Security
menu, click
Client Filtering
.
3.
In the appropriate box, type the IP address of the client device whose access to the Internet you want to control.
4.
In the
Outbound port(s)
boxes, type the outbound port(s) and select the protocol for the data that you want to
control. For example, if you want to control Web browsing, specify Port 80 and select Protocol TCP.
5.
In the appropriate boxes, specify the date and time range when you want to block access to this data. If you want
to filter access on a particular day, for example, every Sunday, enter the same time and the same date for the
start and end period. If you want to block access all the time, click
Always
.
6.
Click
Add
to add this filter to the table, and then select the
Block
check box next to the entry to enable client
filtering. At any time, you can clear the check box to turn off the filter.
Parental Controls
You can use parental controls to prevent computers on your network from accessing specific Web sites or Web
content. For example, you can establish a filter so that your children cannot access any Web site from their
computer with the term “x-rated” in the domain name.
You can also use parental controls to ensure that computers on your network can only access certain Web sites or
Web content. This may be useful, for example, if you want your employees only to access Web sites related to
company business from their work computers. The filters you create will apply only to the computers you specify,
not to all computers on your network.
To configure parental controls, you must know the private IP address assigned to the computer(s) where you want
to control access to the Internet. For optimal performance of parental controls, it is recommended that you assign a
static IP addresses to each of the client devices whose access to the Internet you want to control. For information
about assigning a static IP address to a client, see Broadband Network Utility Help.
If you choose not to assign static IP addresses, you can determine the IP address assigned to the client computer
by checking the DHCP client list on the
Home
page of the Base Station Management Tool.

If you have not assigned a static IP address to this computer and you do not know its IP address, consult the
DHCP client list
on the Home page of the Base Station Management Tool.
4.
To enable parental controls on the computer you have just added, select the
Parental Control
check box next to
that computer’s IP address.

Base Station Log
You can access the base station log for your network from the
Security
section of the Base Station Management
Tool. The base station log records base station events, including communication between the base station and
servers on the Internet, and between the base station and clients on your local area network (LAN). It also includes
events in which the base station enforces firewall, filtering, and port forwarding rules. Typically, the log reports
status events that require no action on your part.
Each log message begins by specifying the date and time of the event. It also includes a brief description of the
event. If you have any concerns about unusual activity on your network, review the base station log.
To view the base station log
1.
Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click
Security
.
2.
On the
Security
menu, click
Base Station Log
.
The base station log maintains a finite amount of data. When the base station log reaches maximum capacity, the
base station deletes the oldest log entries. If you want to retain data from the base station log, consider saving it to
a file.
To save the base station log
1.
From the Home page of the Base Station Management Tool, click
Security
.
2.
On the
Security
menu, click
Base Station Log
.
3.
Click
Save a Copy of Log File
. The file will be exported to Notepad.
4.
From the
File
menu, click
Save
, and then type a name for your log file.
5.
Browse to the location where you want to save the log file, and then click
Save
.
