4.5 Hardware (MAC) Address Control
Every network device has a unique hardware address known as a media access
control (MAC) address. This address is assigned by the manufacturer and hard-
coded into each Ethernet port.
If you have a built-in 10/100 Fast Ethernet port on your computer and added a
wireless 802.11b (or Apple Airport-compatible) network adapter, then you would
have:
• One MAC address for your built-in 10/100 port
• Another MAC address for your wireless port
Tip: If you are using the FriendlyNET FR1004AL wireless router, you may want
to turn on this important security feature.
Configure
Click on the Configure button to open the Hardware (MAC) Address Control
page; this page has different settings for the FR1004 (wired) and FR1004AL
(wireless) routers.
