Cisco 2602e connection question

[mkc1962]

I have a cisco 2602e access point. I am using mac address security feature to allow connections of users. During a recent IT audit we saw where the techbook laptop that we used to setup the AP was allowed to connect to the AP wirelessly. BUT, the mac address for the techbook was never entered into the mac address security section. Is there some selection somewhere within the configuration pages that automatically allows the laptop used for configuring to access?

Thanks for any and all help.
