CHAPTER 13
MAC Filter
13.1 Overview
This chapter discusses MAC address filtering.
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyXEL Device to give exclusive
access to up to 32 wireless clients (Allow) based on the MAC address of the
wireless clients.
This applies to wired and wireless connections.
13.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Use the MAC Filter screen (Section 13.2 on page 202) to allow wireless clients
access to the ZyXEL Device.
13.1.2 What You Need to Know
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.
