The following table describes the labels in this screen.
6.6 MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to give exclusive access to up to 32 devices (Allow
Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the device (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.
The MAC filter works when the device functions as an AP. It allows or denies wireless client
access. The MAC filter does not apply to bridge or repeater functions.

Method
Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK if you want to
configure a pre-shared key. Choose this option only if your wireless clients support
it.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only
difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password,
instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 ASCII characters (including spaces and
symbols). This field is case-sensitive.
