The MAC Address List screen allows you to specify which devices are allowed to access the
WRE2205, while denying access to all unspecified devices. 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
address of the devices to configure this screen.
