MAC Filter

The Enable MAC Filter checkbox enables or disables the MAC Filter feature.

• When the feature is enabled (checked), you must add the MAC address for the device to

the Trusted Device List. If a device not in the list tries to connect to the MiFi4620L wireless

network, the connection is blocked even if the device has the correct network name (SSID)

and network key (Wi-Fi passkey).

• When the feature is disabled (un-checked), any device with the correct network name (SSID)

and network key (Wi-Fi passkey) can connect to the MiFi4620L wireless network.

Find the MAC Address on a Computer

The Media Access Controller (MAC) Address is also known as a hardware or physical address for a

device (usually a network adapter). It consists of six pairs of numbers and letters (for example,

00-21-9B-1C-64-34).

You can view the MAC address for any device connected to the MiFi wireless network from the Wi-Fi

screen. (See Wi-Fi Settings on page 27.)

Tip! You can cut and paste your computer's MAC address from the Wi-Fi Clients section of the Wi-Fi

screen.

If the computer is not connected to the MiFi wireless network, you can nd the MAC address

directly. To nd the MAC address, follow one of these steps:

• On a Windows PC, the MAC address is the Physical Address. You can nd the Physical Address

by running ipconﬁg /all from the cmd window.

» To run ipconﬁg/all, select Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Accessories > Command

Prompt to open the Command Prompt window. Then type ipconﬁg/all and press the Return or

Enter key.

• On a Mac, the MAC address is the AirPort ID.

» To ﬁnd the AirPort ID, open the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network. In the list, click

AirPort. Click Advanced. A sheet opens. Click the AirPort tab. The AirPort ID is at the bottom of the

sheet.

IMPORTANT Windows only: Make sure you get the MAC address for the wireless network

adapter and not the Ethernet controller (NIC), if the computer has both.
