7.16 MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyAIR to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the ZyAIR (Deny
Association). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The
MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for
example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure
this screen.
To change your ZyAIR’s MAC filter settings, click the WIRELESS link under ADVANCED
and then the MAC Filter tab. The screen appears as shown.
Authentication
Databases
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The
trusted user database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an
external server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR
should use (first) to authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in
trusted user database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and
password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the trusted user
database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the
user name is not found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the
specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user
database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and
password. If the ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks
the trusted user database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or
password does not match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the
trusted user database and the authentication fails.
