5.3 General Configuration

Administrative Security

The first configuration panel in the NetDSL General Configuration is the
Administrative Security. From this panel, you can create a Router Name and
select Password Protected for administrative security.

Naming your modem is mandatory. The default name for the modem is
“NetDSL.”

If you are concerned with administration security, you should select Password
Protected
. This optional feature limits NetDSL Manager access to users with the
correct password. To select this feature, check Password Protected, and then
click Change Password. When you type your password and confirmation in the
edit boxes, they will appear as asterisk (****).

your modem. To exit the NetDSL, click on the Exit button. If you need help, click
on the Help button.

Bridge Packet Filtering Table

From Configuration, double-click on the General Configuration icon, and click
on the Bridge Packet Filtering Table in the left panel. The bridge packet filters
also allow you to monitor and selectively filter packets that enter or leave the
NetDSL when in the bridge mode. You can use filtering to protect your network
from unauthorized access, and restrict certain traffic from leaving your LAN.

The Bridge Packet Filtering Table also allows up to 32 sequential filters, and
each filter can be set to examine source MAC, destination MAC, or both. From
