The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the ZyWALL to give exclusive access to
specific devices (Allow Association) or exclude specific devices from accessing the
ZyWALL (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
addresses of the devices to configure this screen.
To change your ZyWALL’s MAC filter settings, click the NETWORK > WIRELESS
CARD > MAC Filter. The screen appears as shown.
