5.4 MAC Filte r Sc re e n
This screen allows you to configure the LTE4506 to exclude specific devices from accessing the LTE4506
(
De ny
). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is
assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC addresses of the devices to configure this screen.
Encryption
Mode
Select
WPA
,
WPA2
, or
WPA/ WPA2
to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients
which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as the LTE4506.
When you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen.
Select
WPA/ WPA2
to allow wireless devices that support either WPA or WPA2 to connect to your
LTE4506’s wireless network.
Select
WPA
to allow only wireless devices that support WPA to connect to your LTE4506’s wireless
network.
Select
WPA2
to allow only wireless devices that support WPA2 to connect to your LTE4506’s
wireless network.
Or you can select
NO ENC RYPTIO N
to allow any client to associate this network without any data
encryption or authentication.
SSID Visibility
Select
Disa b le
to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the SSID
through scanning using a site survey tool. Otherwise, select
Ena b le
.
Wi-Fi Network
Mode
If you set
Wire le ss Ba nd
to
2.4G Hz
, you can use the 802.11 mode from the following:
•
802.11 b g n
: allows IEEE802.11b, IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11n compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the LTE4506. The transmission rate of your LTE4506 might be reduced.
If you set
Wire le ss Ba nd
to
5G Hz
, you can use the 802.11 mode from the following:
•
802.11a / n/ a c
: allows IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11a and IEEE 802.11c compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the LTE4506.
Channel Width
This field displays the wireless channel width used by LTE4506.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps (5GHZ)
whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps
(2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ).
Channel
Set the channel depending on your particular region.
Select a channel or use
Auto C ha nne l
to have the LTE4506 automatically determine a channel
to use. If you are having problems with wireless interference, changing the channel may help.
Try to use a channel that is as many channels away from any channels used by neighboring APs
as possible. The channel number which the LTE4506 is currently using then displays next to this
field.
The following fields are available if you set
Enc ryptio n Mo de
to
WPA
,
WPA2
, or
WPA/ WPA2
.
Encryption Type
Select the encryption type (
AES- C C MP
or
AUTO
) for data encryption.
Select
AES- C C MP
if your wireless clients can all use
AES- C C MP
.
Select
AUTO (TKIP+AES- C C MP)
to allow the wireless clients to use either TKIP or
AES- C C MP
.
Encryption Key
Select
ASC II
in order to enter ASCII characters as WEP key. Select

in order to enter
hexadecimal characters as a WEP key.
