Configuring MAC Address Filtering

Follow these steps to configure MAC Address filtering.

1 Click the Firewall link in the navigation menu, then click MAC Address Filter-

ing.

The MAC Address Filtering window appears.

2 Click the Add button to add a blank row to the filter list.

3 Enter the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the filter. Do not

enter colons or dashes in between the hex digits. See the sidebar for infor-

mation about finding the MAC address of a computer.

Note: Make sure you enter the MAC address correctly. The Telephony Mo-

dem may completely block access if you enter an incorrect address.

4 Click the Save button to save your changes.

Finding the MAC Address of a computer

Locate the operating system of the computer that you

want to add to the list and follow the instructions to find

its wireless MAC address.

Windows: open a Command Prompt window and type

ipconfig /all (and press Return). Locate the line that

begins with “Description” and contains the word “Wire-

less.” The next line, which starts with “Physical Address,”

contains a string of six hex numbers, separated by

dashes. This is the MAC address.

MacOS X: open a Terminal window and type ifconfig

(and press Return). Find the line that begins with “en1”

— this is the wireless adapter. The next line that begins

with “ether” contains the MAC address of the wireless

interface.

Linux: open a shell window and type ifconfig (and press

Return). The wireless interface is eth1 (unless there is no

Ethernet adapter, in which case the interface is eth0).
