MAC Address Access Control
In 802.11b, the MAC Address may be used as a means to
control network access. If you choose Disable MAC Address
Access Control , all clients within range of your Access Point
can access your WNP1000 Wireless AP and its associated
network if you don’t use other means of protection
(such as WEP).
To enable
MAC Address Access Control , click on Enable and
then click Apply . Click on Allow (beside Access Control
Mode ). Next, enter a list of MAC addresses of clients that you
wish to allow on your network. To do so, click Add and type in
the MAC Address of each client in the pop-up page as shown
in the following figure.

Uniden’s client MAC Address can be found listed on the
product label. For 802.11b clients, you can find the MAC
Address listed on the package of the client network interface
card. It consists of 6 pairs of characters, such as
00:30:AB:00:00:01.
After you have finished entering all MAC addresses, click
Apply to save your settings.
You may also delete or modify MAC addresses in the list by
clicking on the button by the address, and then clicking
Delete
or Modify on the WLAN Access Control page
You may also choose to reverse the meaning of the MAC
Address list by clicking Block next to Access Control Mode .
Doing so will cause the WNP1000 Wireless AP to permit all
clients EXCEPT those whose MAC addresses are on the list to
have access to your network.
