•

When the feature is

(checked), you must add the MAC address for the device to

network, the connection is blocked even if the device has the correct network name (SSID)

and network key (Wi-Fi passkey).

and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) can connect to the MiFi 4510L wireless network.

Find the MAC Address on a Computer

The Media Access Controller (MAC) Address is also known as a hardware or physical address for a

device (usually a network adapter). It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters (for example,

00-21-9B-1C-64-34).

You can view the MAC address for any device connected to the MiFi wireless network from the LAN

screen. (See

LAN

on page 38.)

Tip!

You can cut and paste your computer's MAC address from the Wi-Fi Clients section of the Wi-Fi

screen.

If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can find the MAC address

directly. To find the MAC address, follow one of these steps:

•

On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can find the Physical Address

by running

ipconfig/all

from the cmd window.

»

To run

ipconfig/all

, select

Start > All Programs

(or

Programs

)

> Accessories > Command Prompt

to open

the Command Prompt window. Then type

ipconfig/all

and press the

Return

or

Enter

key.

•

On a Mac, the MAC address is the AirPort ID.

»

To find the AirPort ID, open the

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network

. In the list, click

AirPort

.

Click

Advanced

. A sheet opens. Click the

AirPort

tab. The AirPort ID is at the bottom of the sheet.

IMPORTANT

Windows only: Make sure you get the MAC address for the wireless network

adapter and not the Ethernet controller (NIC), if the computer has both.

Trusted Client List

The Trusted Client List section displays the MAC address(es) of trusted devices. Only devices in the

Trusted Client List are able to connect to the MiFi 4510L wireless network.

VPN server but you cannot connect to a web page using your Internet browser.

•

disabled

(un-checked), any application can connect to the Internet.
