6.4.3 THE ACCESS CONTROL SCREEN
Use this screen to configure Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering on the
wireless network.
NOTE: To configure MAC address filtering on the wired LAN, see The MAC Filtering
Screen on page 52.
You can set the CGNV2 to allow only certain devices to access the CGNV2 and the
network wirelessly, or to deny certain devices access.
Click Wireless > Access Control . The following screen displays.
Pre-Shared Key Enter the pre-shared key that you want to use for your
wireless network. You will need to enter this key into
your wireless clients in order to allow them to connect to
the network.
Pre-Authentication Use this field to allow pre-authentication ( Enable ) in
WPA2, or deny pre-authentication requests ( Disable ).
In preauthentication, a WPA2 wireless client can
perform authentication with other wireless access points
in its range when it is still connected to its current
wireless access point. This allows mobile wireless
clients to connect to new access points more quickly,
permitting more efficient roaming.
