MAC Address
Filtering
Specify whether you want to enable MAC address filtering, by selecting one
of the following:
• Yes. Enable MAC address filtering.
Only MAC addresses that you added as network objects can
connect to your network.
For information on network objects, see Using Network
Objects on page 131.
• No. Disable MAC address filtering. This is the default.
Note: MAC address filtering does not provide strong security, since MAC
addresses can be spoofed by a determined attacker. Therefore, it is not
recommended to rely on this setting alone for security.
Wireless Transmitter
Transmission Rate Select the transmission rate:
• Automatic. The Safe@Office appliance automatically selects a
rate. This is the default.
• A specific rate
Transmitter Power Select the transmitter power.
Setting a higher transmitter power increases the access point's range. A
lower power reduces interference with other access points in the vicinity.
The default value is Full. It is not necessary to change this value, unless
there are other access points in the vicinity.
