Add WAP Address
Problem
Suggested Action
Need to add a hardware
address(es) to a wireless access
point (WAP).
MAC filtering is a security feature in which a WAP is configured
with a list of MAC addresses (also called “hardware addresses”) of
devices that are allowed to gain access to the network through the
WAP. If the WAP does not have the hardware address of a device
attempting to access the network, the WAP denies the device
access to the network. If the WAP filters MAC addresses, then the
printer’s MAC address must be added to the WAP’s list of
accepted MAC addresses.
1. Print the network configuration page. For more information,
see
“Network Configuration Page Details” on page 6-72
.
2. Open the WAP’s configuration utility, and add the printer’s
hardware address to the list of accepted MAC addresses.
