Example of Configuring Access Control
Networking requirement
A hotel has set up wireless networks and designated the SSID Ordering corresponding to RF band
2 for placing orders. The AP must be configured to allow only ordering devices to connect to the
wireless network corresponding to the SSID.
You can use the access control function of the AP to address this requirement. Assume that there
are three ordering devices whose MAC addresses are C8:3A:35:00:00:01, C8:3A:35:00:00:02, and
C8:3A:35:00:00:03.
Configuration procedure
1. Choose Wireless > Access Control and click the Radio 2 tab.
2. Select Ordering from the SSID drop-down list box.
3. Select Allow from the MAC Filter Mode drop-down list box.
4. Enter C8:3A:35:00:00:01 in the
MAC Address text box and click Add. Repeat this step to add
C8:3A:35:00:00:02 and C8:3A:35:00:00:03 as well.
5. Click Save.
