This means that the WavePOINT-II will only allow WaveLAN IEEE
stations that have been configured with the correct WaveLAN
Network Name to establish a radio connection.
NOTE:
The “Closed” option is not fully compliant with the IEEE
802.11 Standard for Wireless LANs.
For more information please consult the WaveMANAGER IEEE
User’s Guide that was shipped with your WavePOINT-II access

Wireless Access Control 6
When your IEEE 802.11 compliant
infrastructure includes WavePOINT-
II access points, you are advised to
use the WaveLAN “Access Control”
feature of your WavePOINT-II
access points to restrict wireless
access to the network to authorized
stations only.
Authorized stations are listed by the
MAC Address of their WaveLAN
card in an Access Control Table.
The MAC Address of your WaveLAN
Card is printed on a label on the
backside of your WaveLAN PC
Card.
To enable the Access Control feature, the LAN Administrator must:
1. Determine which WaveLAN cards will be authorized to
communicate with the WavePOINT-II access points.
