Access Point Wireless Security Settings
MAC ACL: MAC Access Control List (ACL) provides ability to allow or deny certain
clients to connect to the AP (applicable for AP and AP WDS modes only).
MAC ACL can be enabled by selecting the Enabled option.
There are two ways to set the Access Control List:
define certain wireless clients in the list which will have granted access to the
Access Point while the access will be denied for all the remaining clients - MAC
ACL Policy is set to
Deny
.
define certain wireless clients in the list which will have denied access to the
Access Point while the access will be granted for all the remaining clients - MAC
ACL Policy is set to
Allow'.
The MAC addresses of the wireless clients can be added and removed to the list using
the Add and Remove buttons.
Note: MAC Access Control is the weakest security approach. WPA™ or WPA2™ security
methods shoud be used when possible.
