Setting MAC-Address Filtering
The MAC-address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you
to specify which computers are allowed on the network� Any computer
attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list
will be denied access� When you enable this feature, you must enter
the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow
network access to each� The “Block” feature lets you turn on and off
access to the network easily for any computer without having to add
and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list� To enable this
feature, select “Enable MAC Address Filtering”
(1)
� Next, select the
access rule as “Allow” or “Deny”�
Then, enter the MAC address of each computer on your network by
selecting from the “DHCP Client List” drop-down box
(2)
and the ID to
copy to
(3)
before clicking “Copy to”� As an alternative method, click in
the space provided
(4)
and enter the MAC address of the computer you
want to add to the list� Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings�
Note:
You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer
you are using to access the Router’s administrative functions (the
computer you are using now)�

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly
from behind the firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted
2-way Internet access� This may be necessary if the NAT feature
is causing problems with an application such as a game or video-
conferencing application� Use this feature on a temporary basis� The
computer in the DMZ is not protected from hacker attacks�
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in
the IP field and select “Enable”� Click “Apply Changes” for the change
to take effect� If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it
is possible to select to which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be
directed� Type in the WAN IP address to which you wish the DMZ host
to direct, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host
computer, select “Enable”, and click “Apply Changes”�
Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet� By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of
interest might be there� The Router can be set up so it will not respond
to an ICMP ping from the outside� This heightens the level of security of
your Router�
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes”� The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping�
