iPECS SBG-1000 User Manual (DATA Features)
Channel Width Mode This option appears on platforms supporting 802.11n only. Select the MHz
width of the wireless channel, depending on your selected communication standard. For b and g,
select either “20 MHz only” or “20/40 MHz (dynamic)”. For 802.11n any mode may be selected.
Network Authentication The WPA network authentication method is ‘Open System
Authentication’, meaning that a network key is not used for authentication. When using the 802.1X
WEP or Non-802.1X WEP security protocols, this field changes to a drop-down menu, offering the
‘Shared Key Authentication’ method (which uses a network key for authentication), or both
methods combined.
MAC Filtering Mode You can filter wireless users according to their MAC address, either
allowing or denying access. Choose the action to be performed by selecting it from the drop-down
menu.
6.4.5.5.2 MAC Filtering Table
Use this section to define advanced wireless access point settings. Click ‘New MAC Address’ to
define filtering of MAC addresses. The ‘MAC Filtering Settings’ screen appears.
Figure 6.63 MAC Filtering Settings
Enter the MAC address to be filtered and click ‘OK’ button. A MAC address list appears, upon
which the selected filtering action (allow/deny) will be performed.

6.4.5.5.3 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a method for simplifying the security setup and management of
wireless networks. This feature is available on iPECS SBG-1000, but is disabled by default. By
enabling it, you can control the setup of your wireless security, which is defined in the following
‘Security’ section of the screen (refer to Section 6.4.5.5.4). Note that WPS only supports the WPA
security protocol, therefore when enabling this feature, all other types of protocols are disabled
(and are no longer available in the ‘Security’ section drop-down menu).
To enable WPS, click the ‘Enabled’ check box. The screen refreshes.
