6.4 MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyAIR to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the ZyAIR (Deny
Association). 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.
The WLAN Adaptor drop down list box is only available when you have an external wireless
card inserted in the ZyAIR. No matter whether you select Built-in or Removable , the
configuration screens are the same for each interface.

and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
