Access control within the wireless network

This screen only appears in Repeater or access point Operating Mode.
This step allows you to determine which PCs should have wireless access to the
Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108. The access control is based on the

MAC address

of the PCs'

network adapters. You can enter the MAC addresses for the PCs manually or select them
from the list of PCs that are currently logged in.

The default setting for access control is disabled. This means that all PCs using the
correct

SSID

and the correct encryption can log in.

Next to MAC address filter select the option On to activate the MAC filtering.

Please note:

If you have reset the encryption, it is very important that you make a note of
the key or the passphrases. You will need this information to configure the
wireless network adapters properly.

When you have completed the Security Setup Wizard, you must also set the
WEP encryption in other components of your wireless network.

Note:
The access control setting is only valid for wireless access of PCs to the repeater or
access point. If you use a router in your wireless network and have configured access
control there for PCs, you must also set this access control on the repeater.
