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.

Note:

Before changing the WN802T password, use the backup utility to save your

configuration settings. If you forget your new password, you must reset the

WN802T back to the factory defaults and use the default password. Consequently,

you will have to restore any WN802T configuration settings you have made. The

backup file can be used in this event.
