Fig. 88. Unrestricted Clients Settings.

There are occasions on which you want some computers to be able to freely
access the Internet without being authenticated first. For example, you may
want your wired desktop computers connected with the SMCWHSG44-G to
be uncontrolled while providing wireless Internet access service for your
customers with wireless laptop computers. The Unrestricted Clients feature
is for this purpose.

You can specify the computers to be uncontrolled by IP address or MAC
address.

To specify uncontrolled computers within an IP address range:

1. Specify the Stating IP and End IP addresses of the IP address range.
2. Click Add. Then you'll see the newly entered IP address range appear in

the IP Pass-Though Table.

To specify an uncontrolled computer by MAC address:

1. Specify its MAC address.
2. Click Add. Then you'll see the newly entered MAC address appear in the

MAC Pass-Through Table.
