Display MAC (media access control) address of connected access point.

Hi all! Sorry if this is already posted somewhere but I tried searching and was having difficulty because of the word MAC having multiple meanings here.
Anyways I want to be able to view the MAC (media access control) address of the access point I am connected to. Is this possible? I can't find it in System Preferences. Is there a terminal command that would allow me to see it? Any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks!

I'm looking at it right now. In the top portion, next to the active graph, it has the SSID of my access point. In the table beneath that, my access point is the first on the list, and the MAC address is clearly visible.
Second if I click on my access point in the list, the MAC address appears, temporarily at the bottom of the window.
For comparison, in the iStumbler preferences, on the AirPort tab, I have only "Auto-Select Best Network" & "Keep on Top" selected.

  • Cannot determine MAC address of connected Access Point using Access Connections version 5

    I recently installed the newst version of Access Connections (version 5) and discovered I am unable to determine the MAC address of the connected access point.  The 'Graphical' screen shows the SSID, IP address of client etc - but does not show the MAC address of the access point.  The 'Details' screen shows the MAC address of the access points - but the radial button on the left does not indicate the cfurrently associated access point.

    Is it the switch where the node is directly connected ?
    Is the NIC at node side, working fine ?
    Another fact to consider is, a mac will wipe itself out after the MAC-age timeout.

    Actually SP7fix1 fixed a security gap in FF. It would have been better if SAP did not require this auth check. In the redesigned process when FF session is started the FF ID is unlocked and password is reset. Now no one needs to maintain the FF passwords anymore (even though this was not the security gap), as the security button in FF overview screen is not in use anymore.

    Actually this fixed a few security issues - I agree it should be documented better.
    You now no longer need to know the password of the FF ID User, so noone can misuse it.
    Also, you're no longer limited to service users and can use dialog users for FF IDs. This has been a requirement by some customers, as the "Services for Object" Menu Item will only be possible for Dialog users.
    You should assign all FF IDs to a Firefighter user group and limit S_USER_GRP to that user group in the SPM roles.

  • Media Master control can't install/access on Unity 7.0.2 server

    Hi,
    In Unity (7.0.2) Server (win2003 SP2) when i go to System Adminstrator page to subcribers page it appear the pop up in IE 6.0 SP2  saying that "... your security settings do not allow websites to use active X controlls installed in your computer."
    Any suggestions?
    PS:I have already put unity SA page in trusted sites and enabled all Active X settngs. And in C:\windows\Downloaded Program files  media master ocx isn't there.

    Hello,
    try this: login to http://unityserver_ip_address/ciscopca. Wait until it asks you to install Active X, then say yes to install it. Just don't know why but that what I had to do. If you try to install Active X using the web/sa URL it just would not work.

  • Access Control List Problem -won't let me in anymore?

    Whilst attempting to add a second Airport Express (AE2) to my network I believe i have changed some setting somewhere!!!
    I can see the new AE (AE2) in the menu bar as a seperate network not what i want - more importantly, when i select my network 'orchard' i now get the following message...
    "...Selected Network uses Access Control List to restrict Access etc...
    See Administrator for help - well i'm the Administrator!!!
    If i select other from the menu bar and then 'orchard' from that list
    Then enter the WEP p/w i get the same message as above.
    Any ideas please - all i wanted to do was add AE2 to enable iTunes to stream throughout the house - now i'm i a right old mess!!!
    thanks
    ianjh

    That message indicates that you have enabled the access control list on the AirPort Express (AX) and the computer you are trying to connect is not on that list.
    I suggest that you disable that list since it doesn't offer any real security. The MAC addresses are broadcast, easy to determine, and easy to clone.
    If you only want to use the AirPort Express (AX) for iTunes, reset the AX and then follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Cannot sort in file/folder access control list in 8 or Server 2012

    I use Windows 8 and Server 2012 Datacenter (with GUI).  In 7/2008R2, I was formerly able to get properties on a file or folder, go to Security tab, click Advanced, and sort the access control list by type, access, inherited from, etc.  Now, it
    doesn't do anything when I click on the headings.   I know I did not find this during the Beta or Release Preview periods, but I do wish this feature would be added back.
    I tried to send this through MS Connect, but they said it was a Server 2008 issue.  Does that mean that it was never supposed to sort?  But I argue that 8 and Server 2012 have the bug.  Here is an image of the window I am referring to, for
    clarification:

    This is really frustrating. Just got 2012 R2 management server and a week after, I noticed the same issue. The only difference is that I'm sorting AD delegation, with 150+ ACEs. While having huge lists of ACEs, it is a must of being able to sort them
    by different columns. Sad that it is considered a bug - it's usually an opposite, when a bug is offered as a feature...
    I still hope this will be fixed with time to come, else - it will be more practical to use PowerShell than such handicapped GUI.

  • Access control for different user groups in APEX 4.0

    Hi guys,
    in Apex 4.0, is there any way to use the access control page to configure access control for different user groups?
    The access control page currently only has an access control list by users with 3 privileges namely, Administrator, Edit & View where Administrator has the highest access level & View the lowest. Therefore 1 user cannot have more than 1 different privilege, however if the user belongs to 2 or more different groups then we can control what access he can have in a more fine grained manner. We also want to have more than the 3 privileges given.
    Can we assign different groups to different users and let them have different privileges to be configured by page, region, process or item level?
    Now Apex will create 2 tables, Apex_Access_Control & Apex_Access_Setup to store the application access control mode & access control list. It will also create 3 authorization schemes "access control - administrator", "access control - edit" & "access control - view" based on the 2 tables.
    Does this mean we have to change the table structures & edit the authorization schemes to suit our usage? We are reluctant to do this because if we upgrade to a newer version of Apex then we would have to merge our pl/sql coding with Apex's updated code.
    How can we auto-configure more than the 3 authorization schemes in the access control page? Is there any way to achieve a finer grain of access control based on the current access control administration page given by Apex without writing it ourselves?
    We are afraid that we may have missed something on Apex access control & do not want to reinvent the wheel.

    Hi Errol,
    to build your own application authorization scheme around the security model supplied by Apex for administration of the Apex environment would be a bad idea.
    This was never intended for authorization scheme management in custom built Apex applications, it was solely intended to control access in the Apex environment overall. The API for it is not published, and making changes to it, such as adding more roles, would run the risk of breaking the overall Apex security model. It would not be supported by Oracle and Oracle would not guarantee the upwards compatibility of any changes you make in future versions of Apex.
    In short, you should follow Tyson's advice and build your own structure. As he indicated, there are plenty of examples around and provided your requirements are not too complicated, it will be relatively simple.

  • MAC address access control default?

    I'm still using old graphite ABS, and all of them
    are using MAC address access control.
    Just by accident I connected a PB G4 with an
    internal extreme Airport card.
    The MAC address of this AirPort card wasn't in the
    access list of the ABS.
    It looks like ABS does only limit access through
    MAC addresses for 802.11b cards. I'll spend some time
    to double check this behaviour.
    Did anyone already see this default of access
    control?

    I'm pretty well aware of the limitations of any kind of
    MAC address control: in an hostile environment its a
    "straw house" or an "empty extinguisher".
    But in a collaborative and friendly environment I thought
    it may be a useful "frontier marker" between "friendly" and
    clearly "hostile" behaviors.
    This belief was foolish.

  • MAC address access control

    Why does my airport express/time capsule show more wireless clients than I've authorized via the MAC address access control?

    Sorry, but I have to re-awaken this old thread.
    1. I recently purchased a new iPad.
    2. With a) a hidden SSID, b) a MAC address-based access control list and c) a WPA2 secured network, I am assuming that no new device should be able to access my WiFi network.
    3. When I got home with the new iPad on Friday evening, and started it, it was online without even asking me whether to connect, or what the WPA2 key was.
    I find this strange.
    Additional information:
    4. I also have an iPhone 4S.
    5. I used the personal hotspot feature of the iPhone 4S to connect the WiFi-only iPad to the Internet while on the road.
    6. That personal hotspot feature was still enabled when I got home with the iPhone and the new iPad.
    7. Home network setup:
    7a) Fritz.Box 7270 as DSL modem/router (WiFi disabled)
    7b) Apple Airport Extreme (v 7.6.4) connected via LAN to DSL router, (in bridge mode, create wireless network), Access control on this base station.
    7c) Apple Airport Express (v 7.6.4) connecte to Airport Extreme via WiFi (extend wireless network), Access control not an option on this base station.
    8. Native IPv6 enabled on all devices (and provided by ISP).
    Any suggestion and help is highly appreciated.

  • MAC address and router access control

    My iPhone 3GS can only access the network (through my Netgear KWGR614 wireless router) when the router's MAC address access control is off. When I turn it on the phone is blocked. The MAC address I use is taken from the iPhone settings. It begins with 64. All other MAC addresses I have ever seen begins with 00. Is this MAC address correct? If it is right, could it be that the router can't handle this address?

    The first 3 bytes of the mac address identifies the manufacturer. For example, mine starts with 04:1e:64 which is Apple
    04-1E-64 (hex) Apple, Inc
    041E64 (base 16) Apple, Inc
    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino CA 95014
    UNITED STATES
    . if it starts with 64 then it belongs to
    64-4F-74 (hex) LENUS Co., Ltd.
    644F74 (base 16) LENUS Co., Ltd.

    check this list : http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.shtml
    enter your first 3 numbers (first 3 pairs) from your wifi (settings/general/about) (don't use colons in the search)
    Not sure about the router as I never tried mac filtering. Each router will behave differently.
    Hope this helps.

  • After trying to set up access control, my Airport Utility is no longer able to find my Base Station.  My PC still sees my wireless network but I can't connect to it.

    A friend told me he was able to access my network from a different device with no password so I decided to set up an access control.  Following the prompts, I entered my IP address, and then my Airport stopped working.  I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but got the same thing.  The screen I get is that "Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport wireless devices", and askes me if I want to rescan.  When I rescan I get the same message.  My Airport light is green and my PC recognizes the network, my software just can't connect to it.  A friend suggested I entered the wrong IP address (which I found on my computer under "connections", but even after I tried a different one which is supposed to be from the network, I still get the same error message.  What am I doing wrong?

    A friend told me he was able to access my network from a different device with no password so I decided to set up an access control.
    This could be bullsh!t on your friend's part perhaps? Do you ever recall seeing a blue-light on the base station?
    Following the prompts, I entered my IP address, and then my Airport stopped working.
    The acces control list is where you put in your Mac Address, this is not the same thing as an IP.

  • Access Control makes connection intermittent. Why?

    I've set up our Airport Extreme to limit the access of my daughter's ibook on weekdays, switching connection off every day at midnight. Her connection goes back on from 6am.
    For some reason, when I try to connect again at about 9am, the Airport is only visible/available intermittently. It takes a good few minutes to appear and then it disappears again a few mins later. What's going on?
    It's easily fixed. I just have to switch the Airport Extreme off at the plug and back on again, then it works perfectly again. But why is this necessary?
    On the weekend - when there's been no access control of her computer the night before - there's no problem at all. Please hep

    going off memory, if you set security protection I don't believe access control can be set with it. Its one or the other and I think that includes Mac addressing.
    You can go online to Apple/support and do a search for how to set up airport networks. The rules are stated in that 60 page document.

  • Where's iPhone's ID for MAC Access Control on Airport Express?

    I'm running Apple Express (NOT Extreme) base station v5.5.1, & require Access Control on 802.11g network. I have "Apple IDs" for all our computers using network, but I can't figure how to get ID #s for iPhone. As workaround, I temporarily opened my network to standard 128-WEP encrypt w/ password, disabling Access Control. But some hash-chart wizard in my apt complex keeps beating WEP & bogging down network, no matter how many times I change passwords. Note: I can't set up WPA w/o Airport Extreme, so that's not an option.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
