6.2.4 Allowing Only Specified PCs to Be Connected to a WLAN
Function Overview
After the SSID is hidden and an optimum security mode is used, your WLAN is in a
secure state. You can prohibit certain PCs from being connected to the WLAN or allow
only specified PCs to be connected to the WLAN, thus preventing unauthorized users
from accessing the WLAN.
Through the wireless MAC filtering function of the HG256s, the preceding functions can
be used after you enter the MAC addresses of the PCs to be controlled.
The wireless MAC filtering function can be implemented in the following modes:
Blacklist: The PCs whose MAC addresses are listed in the filtering list are prohibited
from being connected to the WLAN.
Whitelist: The PCs whose MAC addresses are listed in the filtering list are allowed
to be connected to the WLAN.
You can select either of the preceding modes for the wireless MAC filtering function.
The wireless MAC filtering function controls the option of allowing a PC to be connected to
the HG256s through a WLAN. The MAC address filtering function described in section 6.4
"Controlling the Internet Access Rights of PCs" controls the option of allowing a PC
connected to the HG256s to access the Internet.
