MAC Address Filter
The MAC Address Filter check box allows you to enable or disable the DockLINK’s internal MAC Address Filter.
The MAC Address Filter is a database that stores MAC Addresses received by the DockLINK while
communicating with the 10BaseT Network Interface Card and RadioLAN Wireless Network. Once information is
stored in the database, you can allow or disallow packet flow to or from remote addresses in the database.
