Use this feature to determine which Wireless stations can use
the Access Point. The options are:
• All Wireless Stations - All wireless stations can use the
access point, provided they have the correct SSID and WEP
settings.
• Trusted Wireless stations only - Only wireless stations you
designate as "Trusted" can use the access point, even if they
have the correct SSID and WEP settings.
This feature uses the MAC address to identify Wireless sta-
tions. The MAC address is a low-level network identifier
which is unique to each PC or network device.
To define the trusted wireless stations, use the "Set Stations"
button.
