If you select to edit existing MAC Access, a page similar to Figure 3.4.3.2 with
configured settings will be displayed.
Note
1. Turn on the MAC Filter with Type “Deny”, it will block all the accessing
from WiFi or LAN. Be sure to key in, at least the manager’s MAC
address or one known MAC address from “MAC Access List” with Type
“Allow” before your reboot to make this feature active.
2. If you would like to BLOCK some certain backhaul route, you can Turn
on MAC filter with “Allow”. Yet, in the “MAC Access List”, key in the
desired Mesh node’s MAC address (that can be found in Neighbor in
section 3.7.10) with Type “Deny”. Then, you can stop some
unnecessary route to make the network more efficient. However, this
also will effect the self-healing once the backhaul node to node
relationship is broken.
