2-12 Wireless Configuration
v1.0, November 2006
To restrict access based on MAC addresses:
1. Connect to the gateway and log in as described in “Configuring Wireless Settings” on
page 2-4.
2. Under Setup on the main menu, select Wireless Settings. The Wireless Settings screen will
display as shown in Figure 2-1 on page 2-5.
3. Scroll down to the Wireless Card Access List and check the Turn Access Control On radio
box.
When you turn on access control, the gateway only accepts connections from clients on the
selected access control list. This provides an additional layer of security.
4. Click Apply to confirm this setting.
To add or delete a Wireless Card from the Setup Access List:
1. Click Setup Access List. The Wireless Card Access List page will display.
The Access List displays a list of wireless clients that will have access to the wireless network
when the list is enabled.
Note: If your computer is connected wirelessly to the wireless voice gateway, be
careful about selecting the Turn Access Control On checkbox. If your
computer’s MAC address is not in the access control list, then you will lose
your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the
wireless voice gateway from a wired computer, or from a wireless computer
that is on the access control list, to make any further changes.
