What is it used for?


The Authorized MAC Addresses List sub-panel allows to enable certain devices for free browsing, without binding the owners to have an account. It also allows to check the list of already authorized devices and eventually delete them. 
The feature is useful for the administrator to provide access to the Internet via any smartphone, tablet and computer used by themselves, the staff of the location or other trusted people, without forcing them to the physiological waiting time determined by the authentication mode to the system. 

N.B. To use the feature, you must know the MAC address of the device you want to use. Please note that each device has a unique MAC Address and it is different from the others.
