Note: Most networks do not require access point groups. See Chapter 1,

Getting Started for more information about basic settings and

advanced settings for access point groups.

To set up MAC authentication for only the selected access point group:

1. On the Configuration tab, select Security >Advanced > MAC Authentication:.

2. Click a group tab to select the access point group that will use access control.

3. Select the Turn Access Control On check box if you want the access point to interact only

with stations present in the Trusted Wireless Stations list. This provides an additional layer of

security.

4. Select one of the following databases:

• Local MAC Address Database: The access point will use the local MAC address

table for Access Control.

• Remote MAC Address Database: The access point will use the MAC address table

located on an external RADIUS server on the LAN for access control.

5. Make sure that the correct wireless stations are in the Trusted Wireless Stations list. If you

are using access control, only these stations will be allowed access to the network through

this access point.

- To remove a wireless station from this table, select it and click Delete.

- To add a wireless station to this table, enter its MAC address and click Add.

- To move a wireless station from the Available Wireless Stations list to the Trusted

Wireless Stations list, select it, and click Move.
