This screen is used to configure the access list settings between wireless and switch ports.
Access List Type - An Access List is a list of source MAC addresses. If a packet is coming from a wireless to a LAN
port or vice versa, this device will check if the source MAC address of the packet matches any entry in this list.
And use the match result to pass or drop this packet. However, packets from LAN port to LAN port will not be
checked. If you click Disable, this will disable all access list functions. If you click Accept, only packets that
match an entry on the list will be passed. All others will be dropped.
