Context
If the AR1200-S does not receive a response after sending an authentication request to a user,
it retransmits the authentication request to the user. If the AR1200-S still fails to receive the
response when the maximum number of times for sending authentication requests is reached, it
does not send the authentication request to the user any more.

5.4 Configuring MAC Address Authentication
After MAC address authentication is configured, the AR1200-S uses the user MAC address as
the user name and password for authentication.
5.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring MAC address authentication, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
MAC address authentication can be configured to authenticate terminals on which client
software cannot be installed, such as faxes and printers.
