MN-500 Base Station Configuration Guide 22
Association Control
You can use association control to control which wireless clients can establish a wireless connection to the
base station. Association control does not apply to wired clients, so if you have the Microsoft Ethernet Wired Base
Station, association control is not available as an option.
To enable association control
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Security.
2. On the Security menu, click MAC Filtering.
3. Select the Enable association control check box.
4. If you do not want unspecified clients to associate with the base station, in the drop-down list box, click Deny. In
this case, any client whose MAC address is not listed in the MAC Address table will not be able to associate with
the base station or access the Internet.
5. If you clicked Deny in step 4, in the MAC Address table, specify the MAC address of any clients that you want to
connect to the base station, and then select the Allow Association check box.
6. To save your changes, click Apply.
Client Filtering
You can use client filtering to control the Internet access of each client on your network. This feature is particularly
useful if, for example, you want to restrict the time that your children spend surfing the Web.
To configure client filtering, you must have the following information:
O
The private IP address assigned to the client computer. To determine the IP address assigned to the client
computer, check the DHCP client list on the Home page of the Base Station Management Tool.
O
The ports for the type of application data to which you want to control access.
For example, if you want to control Web browsing, specify TCP Port 80 on client 192.168.2.XX.
It is recommended that you assign static IP addresses to each of the client devices whose access to the Internet
you want to control.
To enable client filtering
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Security.
2. On the Security menu, click Client Filtering.
3. In the appropriate box, type the IP address of the client device whose access to the Internet you want to control.
4. In the Outbound port(s) boxes, type the outbound port protocol and port number for the data that you want
to control.
5. In the appropriate boxes, specify the date and time range when you want to block access to this data. If you want
to filter access on a particular day, for example, every Sunday, enter the same time and the same date for the
start and end period. If you want to block access all the time, click Always.
6. Select the Block check box, and then click Apply to activate the client filtering.
Base Station Log
You can access the base station log for your network from the Security section of the Base Station Management
Tool. This log records general base station activity and time stamps each log file entry. If you have any concerns
about unusual activity on your network, review the base station log.
The base station log can maintain up to 127 lines of data. When the base station log reaches maximum capacity,
the base station deletes the oldest log entries.
To view the base station log
1. Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click Security.
2. On the Security menu, click Base Station Log.
