20.4.1 Configuring MAC Address Filter
Your HomeSafe checks the MAC address of the wireless station device against a list of allowed
or denied MAC addresses. However, intruders could fake allowed MAC addresses so MAC-
based authentication is less secure than EAP authentication.
Follow the steps below to create the MAC address table on your HomeSafe.
