Access Controls

Access Control Table Columns

The Access Control Table, as seen in Figure 49 and Figure 50, contains the following columns:

• Address: Six text boxes appear in which you enter the desired MAC address in hexadecimal digit

form, two characters in each box. You can specify a full 12-hex-digit MAC address or enter

"wildcard" characters for "don't care" digits. Allowable hex-digit characters are 0-9, a-f, and A-F.

Most address-tags and software where you find MAC addresses listed include colons or dashes to

separate the address-pairs; that is provided for you on the page, so do not enter the colons or dashes.

The wildcard characters are "x", "X" and blank (space character). Wildcards are useful when you want

to specify all MAC addresses from a given manufacturer. Thus for example, by specifying only the

Organizationally Unique Identifier (the first six hexadecimal digits of any MAC address from that

manufacturer is its OUI) saves you having to enter all 24 million of them (the table size is limited in the

AP/Router to 128 entries). Some manufacturers produce devices using more than one OUI, in which

case you may need to enter each applicable one.

• Remove: Check the 'Remove' box for any row(s) you no longer want used.

Removing MAC Addresses from a List

Simply check the box under the Remove column for the MAC address entry(ies) you want to remove from

the table and click Update.

Showing/Hiding Locally Known MAC Addresses

The AP/Router "knows" the MAC addresses of devices in the local network and this information can be

shown by clicking the "Show locally-known MAC addresses" link. It will disappear when you click "Hide

locally-known MAC addresses". By default, the "Remove" box is checked in each of these. Un-check it for

those devices you want included in the table. When you click Update, only entries in the table whose

“Remove” checkbox is un-checked will be included in the Access Controls table.
