Using the Access 

Control List

Under System Configuration, click Access Control List. The Access Control 

List page appears where you can allow or prohibit access to the wireless 

network from Ethernet clients. 

Follow these steps to build the Access Control List:

1 Under System Configuration, click Access Control List.

2 On the Access Control Listpage, click Add.

The Access Control List New ACL page appears.

3 On the New ACL page, enter the MAC address of the client you want to 

add to the Access Control List, select the permission type, and click the 

Add button to substantially add it.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each client.

5 Select the System Default Mode:

■

Allow—allows the client to access the  Bridge.

■

Deny—prohibits the client from accessing the Bridge.

CAUTION: With the Allow option of the System Default Mode selected, 

the Bridge allows all Ethernet frames except those carrying the 

MAC addresses that are specified in the Access Control List and have the 

permission type Deny. Similarly, with the Deny option of the System 

Default Mode selected, the Bridge denies all Ethernet frames except 

those carrying the MAC addresses that are specified in the Access Control 

List and have the permission type Allow.

Make sure that the MAC address of the computer through which you are 

configuring the Bridge is not specified in the Access Control List with the 

permission type Deny if you want to set the access control type to Allow. 

If you want to set the Access Control Type to Deny, make sure that the 

MAC address of the computer is included in the Access Control List with 

the permission type Allow. Failure to do so results in access to the Bridge 

being blocked; the Bridge will no longer be configurable through the 

computer.
