7.5 THE ACCESS CONTROL SCREEN

Use this screen to configure Media Access Control (MAC) address filtering on the

wireless network.

NOTE: To configure MAC address filtering on the wired LAN, see The Filter Setting

Screen on page 57.

You can set the CGN to allow only certain devices to access the CGN and the

network wirelessly, or to deny certain devices access.

Click Wireless > Access Control. The following screen displays.

Group Key Update

Interval

Enter the frequency (in seconds) with which you want

the CGN to create new pre-shared keys, and issue them

to the wireless client.

Pre-Shared Key Enter the pre-shared key that you want to use for your

wireless network. You will need to enter this key into

your wireless clients in order to allow them to connect to

the network.

Pre-Authentication Use this field to allow pre-authentication (Enable) in

WPA2, or deny pre-authentication requests (Disable).

In preauthentication, a WPA2 wireless client can

perform authentication with other wireless access points

in its range when it is still connected to its current

wireless access point. This allows mobile wireless

clients to connect to new access points more quickly,

permitting more efficient roaming.
