12.4.1 Access Point Access Control Lists (ACLs)
The access control lists (ACLs) for the access point interfaces (wlan1-wlan4) block access to
any device with a MAC address matching those on the list. Individual ACLs can be defined for
each access point.
The ACLs can be defined via the web interface on the appropriate “wlanN” sub-tab under the
“ACL” tab on the “Security” page. Enter a MAC address and click on the “Add MAC” button to
add the address to the ACL for that access point. Once an address has been added, it will
appear at the bottom of the page. To delete a MAC address in an ACL, click on the “Delete
MAC” button next to the address.
The ACL for an access point must be enabled after it has been created. Choose “blacklist”
from the drop-down menu and click on “Change ACL Mode” to enable the list. Choose “none”
from the drop-down menu and click on “Change ACL Mode” to disable the ACL.

The access control list (ACL) for the mesh interface blocks access to the node via the mesh
interface for any node whose mesh MAC address is not listed in the ACL.
It is possible to isolate a mesh node from other nodes in the mesh if the mesh ACL
is incorrectly configured. If the mesh ACL is enabled and no MAC addresses are
present on the list, or the wrong addresses are present, it will not be possible for
other mesh nodes to communicate with the node.
The mesh ACL can be defined via the web interface on the “Mesh” sub-tab under the “ACL”
tab on the “Security” page. Enter a MAC address and click on the “Add MAC” button to add the
