you can use MAC Whitelist in SZ100, which is quick and dirty.
Or you can set up a windows radius server e.g. (we have the same) creating MAC-Objects (Users) in Windows AD e.g.

sorry, yes of course it is the same. when using white or blacklist just set up l2 access control in your SSID.

you dont need a special authentication server. authentication type should be standard, and method "open" and if you want to use additional wpa protection or not just choose the right encryption settings.

white or blacklist should then work immediately
