MAC Address Filtering
A common method of restricting WLAN network access is to specify the Media
Access Control (MAC) address. Every WLAN network adapter is identified by its
MAC address. Specifying which computers can connect to your network can limit
network access to trusted computers. GlobeSurfer
®
III supports MAC filtering
based on a list of denied or allowed computers. MAC filtering mode ‘Allow’ speci-
fies that the list of MAC addresses is granted access to GlobeSurfer
®
III. MAC
filtering mode ‘Deny’ specifies that all computers except those in the list of MAC
addresses are granted access to GlobeSurfer
®
III.
Before you set up your list of trusted MAC addresses, you have to know what they
are. A device’s MAC address is usually found on a sticker on the bottom of the
device. For internal wireless PCI cards, refer to your operating system documenta-
tion for instructions.
You can also type ‘ipconfig /all’ in the ‘Command Prompt’ in Windows
®
to locate
the MAC address. The MAC address displays as the physical address.
