Configuring MAC Address Filtering

You can use MAC address filtering to permit or deny access to the wireless

network based on the MAC (hardware) address of the requesting device. For

example, you can enter the MAC addresses of a set of computers and only allow

those computers to access the network. You can configure MAC address filtering

for each network or SSID.

To configure MAC address filtering:

STEP 1

In the

Wireless Table

(

Wireless

Basic Settings

to configure.

STEP

Click

Edit MAC Filtering

. The Wireless MAC Filtering page opens.

STEP

In the

Wireless MAC Filtering

Connection Control

field, choose the type of access to the wireless

network:

•

Prevent:

Select this option to prevent devices with the MAC addresses

listed in the

MAC Address Table

from accessing the wireless network. This

option is selected by default.

•

Configuring Cisco Simple Connect

Cisco Simple Connect (CSC) provides a safe and convenient way for CSC-

enabled devices to connect with a Wi-Fi access point by simply touching the RFiD

or scanning the QR code of the CSC card. Cisco Simple Connect makes

accessing wireless access points simple and allows you to expand more business

applications. See

Using Cisco Simple Connect

for more information.

By default, Cisco Simple Connect (CSC) is disabled on the CVR100W. You can set

one of the SSIDs (SSID1, SSID2, or SSID3) of the CVR100W as the CSC wireless

access point. The wireless clients that are associated with the CSC wireless

access point can only access the Internet through the CVR100W.

When configuring Cisco Simple Connect, note the following:

•

Only SSID1, SSID2, or SSID3 can be set as the CSC wireless access point.

•

Enabling Cisco Simple Connect on a SSID does not affect the normal

operation of other SSIDs.

•

SSID1 must be set as the CSC wireless access point when WDS is enabled

on the CVR100W.

•

The VLAN to which the CSC wireless access point is mapped cannot be

the same as the VLANs of other SSIDs. You must assign a different VLAN to

the CSC wireless access point.

•

When enabling Cisco Simple Connect on a SSID, the CVR100W

automatically saves the current settings of the SSID before the CSC

settings are applied on the SSID, and restores the saved settings after CSC

is disabled on the SSID.

•

By default, the CSC wireless access point is automatically named as Cisco-

Simple-Connect when enabling Cisco Simple Connect for the first time. The

wireless security mode, SSID broadcast, and SSID Isolation are disabled on

the CSC wireless access point. For security purposes, we strongly

recommend that you configure the CSC wireless access point with the

Page 79 / 150

Configuring Wireless Network

highest level of security that is supported by the devices into your wireless

network.

To enable Cisco Simple Connect and configure the settings of the CSC wireless

access point:

STEP 1

Choose

Wireless

Basic Settings

. The Basic Settings page opens.

STEP

In the Wireless Table, check the SSID that you want to configure and click

Edit

STEP

Check the

Enable SSID

box to enable this SSID.

STEP

Check the

CSC

box to enable Cisco Simple Connect on this SSID.

STEP

Select a VLAN from the

VLAN

drop-down menu to which all traffic from the CSC

wireless network is mapped. The VLAN that is associated with the CSC wireless

network cannot be the same as the VLANs of other SSIDs.

STEP

(Optional) Configure the following settings for the CSC wireless access point:

•

SSID Name:

Enter a unique name for the CSC wireless access point. By

default, the name of the CSC wireless access point is set to Cisco-Simple-

Connect after you enable Cisco Simple Connect for the first time.

Generally, you can enter the SSID name that is provided on your CSC Simple

card in this field. If you want to customize the name of the CSC wireless

access point, enter a new SSID name in this field.

NOTE

When you customize a new name of the CSC wireless access

point, you are asked to regenerate and print the QR code of the CSC card.

See

Customizing Your QR Code

for more information.

•

Security Mode:

By default, the security mode of the CSC wireless access

point is disabled. You can modify its security settings by clicking

Edit

Security Mode

. For security purposes, we strongly recommend that you

configure the CSC wireless access point with the highest level of security

that is supported by the devices into your wireless network.

Generally, you can choose WPA or WPA2 as the security mode and enter the

security key that is provided on your CSC card. If you want to customize the

security key of the CSC wireless access point, enter a new security key. See

Configuring Wireless Security

for more information.

NOTE

When you customize a new security key of the CSC wireless

access point, you are asked to regenerate and print the QR code of the

CSC card. See

Customizing Your QR Code

for more information.
