Security Setup Wizard

Access control within the wireless network

In this step you can specify which PCs will have wireless access to the Giga762SX WLAN

dsl and hence to the LAN. Access control is based on the

MAC address

of the PC network

adapters. You can enter the MAC addresses for the PCs manually or select these from the

list of PCs that are currently logged in.

Access control is disabled by default. This means that all PCs that use the correct

SSID

can be logged in.

MAC address filter

, select

On

to activate the MAC filter.

Entering MAC addresses manually

ì

Enter the MAC address of the network adapter. You will find this address on the

underside of the device.

ì

Enter the name of the PC.

ì

Click the

Add

button to add the entry to the list.

The settings will now be activated on the Giga762SX WLAN dsl.

Note:

If you activate MAC access control, you must at least add the PC on which you are con-

figuring the Giga762SX WLAN dsl to the list. Otherwise, you will have no access to the

user interface and will receive an appropriate error message.

WPS registration is only possible for PCs in the list if you have activated MAC access

control.

If you have inadvertently denied all PCs access to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl, you have

two options:

u

You can completely reset the Giga762SX WLAN dsl (page 26).

u

You can connect a PC to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl using one of the LAN connec-

tions (by cable). As MAC access control only affects PCs that are connected wire-

lessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.
