Mobile Unit Access Control List (ACL)
Use this list to specify which mobile units can or cannot gain access to the WLAN. The list employs an adoption rule for
allowing or denying specific mobile units by way of exception.
1. Select Allow or Deny from the pull-down menu. This rule applies to all mobile units except those listed in the table. If
Allow is visible, the access criteria (MAC addresses) will be used to indicated which mobile units will be allowed access
to the Access Port. If Deny is visible, the access criteria will be used to indicated which mobile units should not be
allowed access.
2. Click the Add button to add a new entry to the list.
3. Each entry in the table specifies one or more MAC address to be used to match with a mobile unit’s MAC address that
is attempting to gain access to the WLAN. Specify a single address (by specifying Start Address only) or a range of
MAC access (by using both the Start Address and the End Address).
For example, if Allow is selected, all mobile units that match any of the specified MAC addresses or MAC address
ranges in the table can be adopted by the WLAN. If Deny is selected, all mobile units that match any of the specified
MAC addresses or MAC address ranges in the table cannot be adopted by the WLAN.
4. Click the Apply button to save changes.
