Subnet ID
The
Subnet ID is the wireless network name. All wireless users who share resources must have the same Subnet ID
designation. Set this field to match the
Subnet ID that is in all stations within the wireless network. You may use up
to four characters for this entry.
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 RadioLAN Wireless Network. Once packets are stored in the database, you can allow or
disallow packet flow to or from remote addresses in the database.
Unchecked
Disables MAC Address filtering.
Checked
Enables MAC Address Filtering. This allows all network traffic to flow from the wireless network
into the local station. Allowing all data to flow into the RadioLAN Network uses network resources
and decreases transmission speeds between wireless nodes.
Edit
The
Edit button displays the MAC Address database, allowing you to enable or disable communication with
specific devices on the wireless network.
