Configuring the MF2900 AP
Figure 11—New ACL Entry Configuration Window
2. In the New ACL menu, enter a MAC address of the wireless device you wish to add to the ACL.
3. Select the Access Control List type: Enable, Disable, or Strict. To modify an existing ACL entry, click on
the MAC Address field..
NOTE – The main difference between Enable and Strict is that Strict requires a unique rather than a shared key. The
Unique Key is entered in the Unique Key field of
Figure 11.
By default, when the checking of the ACL is enabled, the ACL itself is empty. This is equivalent to disabling
checking on the ACL. An ACL entry must therefore exist before enabling ACL. When an ACL is enabled,
both stations with valid share keys and stations with matching “allow” entries on the ACL are authenticated.
Alternatively, by choosing Strict, you can configure the checking of the ACL to require an assigned unique
key, or the station is denied association. In strict mode, stations with valid share keys that are not on the ACL
are not authenticated. The stations must have unique keys defined and matching “allow” ACL entries
specified to associate to the AP.
Deleting an ACL entry
1. To delete an ACL entry, return to the ACL menu ( Figure 10).
2. Click the Delete button next to the ACL entry you wish to delete.
