6.17 MAC Filter

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the G-560 to give exclusive access to up to 32
devices (Allow Association) or exclude up to 32 devices from accessing the G-560 (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 G-560's MAC Filter settings, click WIRELESS > SETTINGS > MAC
Filter
. The screen appears as shown.

Note: Be careful not to list your computer's MAC address and select Deny the

following MAC address to associate when managing the G-560 via a
wireless connection. This would lock you out.
