The Access Control filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of 

their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC 

address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
