MAC Address Filtering
The

screen is used
to set up MAC address filtering for the WAB–2000 device. The factory de-
fault for MAC Address filtering is

. If you enable MAC Address
filtering, you should also set the toggle for

.
This works as follows:
• If

Filter Type

, only those devices equipped with the authorized
MAC addresses will be able to communicate with the access
point. In this case, input the MAC addresses of all the PC cards
that will be authorized to access this access point. The MAC ad-
dress is engraved or written on the PC (PCMCIA) Card.
• If
Filtering
is enabled and
Filter Type
is
Allow All Except Those
Listed Below
, those devices with a MAC address which has been
entered in the MAC Address listing will NOT be able to commu-
nicate with the access point. In this case, navigate to the report:

and copy the MAC address of any Wireless Cli-
ent that you want to exclude from communication with the access
point and input those MAC Addresses to the MAC Address list.
