Configuring the Subscriber Module

• Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

Result: Traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Client 1 is blocked. Wireless Clients 2 and 3 still can

communicate with the Wired Server.

Prevent Multiple Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired Device

Configure the following settings to prevent Wireless Clients 1 and 2 from communicating with the Wired Server:

• Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A

• Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

• Wireless MAC Address: 00:02:2D:51:94:E4

• Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:00:00:00

Result: When a logical “AND” is performed on the Wireless MAC Address and Wireless Mask, the result corresponds to

any MAC address beginning with the 00:20:2D prefix. Since Wireless Client 1 and Wireless Client 2 share the same

prefix (00:02:2D), traffic between the Wired Server and Wireless Clients 1 and 2 is blocked. Wireless Client 3 can still

communicate with the Wired Server since it has a different prefix (00:20:A6).

Prevent All Wireless Devices From Communicating With a Single Wired Device

Configure the following settings to prevent all three Wireless Clients from communicating with Wired Server:

• Wired MAC Address: 00:40:F4:1C:DB:6A

• Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

• Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00

• Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00

Result: The unit blocks all traffic between the Wired Server and all wireless clients.

Prevent A Wireless Device From Communicating With the Wired Network

Configure the following settings to prevent Wireless Client 3 from communicating with any device on the Ethernet:

• Wired MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00

• Wired Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00

• Wireless MAC Address: 00:20:A6:12:4E:38

• Wireless Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

Result: The unit blocks all traffic between Wireless Client 3 and the Ethernet network.

Prevent Messages Destined for a Specific Multicast Group from Being Forwarded to the Wireless LAN

If devices on your Ethernet network use multicast packets to communicate and these packets are not required by your

wireless clients, you can set up a Static MAC filter to preserve wireless bandwidth. For example, if routers on your

network use a specific multicast address (such as 01:00:5E:00:32:4B) to exchange information, you can set up a filter to

prevent these multicast packets from being forwarded to the wireless network:

• Wired MAC Address: 01:00:5E:00:32:4B

• Wired Mask: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF

• Wireless MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00

• Wireless Mask: 00:00:00:00:00:00

Result: The unit does not forward any packets that have a destination address of 01:00:5E:00:32:4B to the wireless

network.
