Restricting Wireless Access by MAC Address
By default, all wireless PCs that are configured with the correct SSID are allowed access to your
wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to your wireless network to only
those trusted wireless PCs based on their MAC address.
The
Access Control List
screen lets you block the network access privilege of any specified
stations to only those displayed in the Trusted
Wireless Stations
table. When you enable the
Turn
Access Control On
radio box, the access point will only accept connections from those clients on
the Trusted Wireless Stations access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1.
Log in to the WN802T using the default address of
http:/192.168.0.233,
user name of
admin
and default password of
password
, or whatever LAN address and password you have set up.
2.
Under Security on the main menu, select
Access Control.
The Access Control menu will
display.
3.
Check the
Turn Access Control On
radio button.
4.
Click
Apply
to enable the Access Control feature.
Note:
If configuring the WN802T from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not
in the
Trusted Wireless Stations
access control list, when you select
Turn Access
Control On
, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You
must then access the wireless access point from a wired computer or from a
wireless computer which is on the access control list to make any further changes.
