This parameter does not influence at which data rate the station will be able to receive data.
I.E. When the transmit rate is locked to 1 Mbit/s, the station may still receive messages that
were transmitted at 2 Mbit/second.

Note: The Access Control security feature of AP-1000 access points does not recognize Local
MAC addresses. When the AP-1000 devices in your network infrastructure have been
programmed to use this feature, leave this parameter blank.
