Managing Packet Flow through the DockLINK

The DockLINK can selectively allow or disallow traffic
to or from the 10BaseT Network Interface Card and
the RadioLAN wireless network. Proper packet flow
management improves the speed of the RadioLAN
wireless network by eliminating unwanted network
traffic.

The DockLINK is set for optimum performance by
default. Only advanced users with special
circumstances should use the entries on MAC Filter
screens. Figure 22 shows the 10B

page. The DockLINK contains and

manages two identical filtering databases:

10BaseT Port MAC Filter List

Radio Port MAC Filter List

Each of these databases allows you to add up to 32 MAC Addresses and to allow or disallow the receipt or
transmission of data packets to specified MAC Addresses.
