Configuration
To use the WLAN filter, select the Activate filters option under Overview
X Edit Configuration X WLAN Filters (the 10 input fields underneath
it will then be activated). You can now list up to ten different network devices
permitted to access your dLAN
®
Wireless extender by entering their so-called
MAC addresses.
The MAC address refers to the network adapter of a device (e.g. the WLAN
card of a laptop or the Ethernet port of a printer). It consists of six two-digit
hexadecimal numbers that are separated by colons (e.g. 6A:54:FA:11:DE:23).
The MAC address can generally be found on a label on the network adapter.
You can easily determine the MAC address of a Windows PC by opening a
command prompt window with
Start X Programs X Accessories X
Command Prompt
. Enter the command IPCONFIG /ALL . The MAC is
shown under the designation
Physical Address.
Do not forget to click Save after entering the MAC addresses. An error
message will be returned if any of the values entered are invalid (e.g.
because the colons are missing).
