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�
