selected priority and below. For example, if set to 6, the WL520 will transmit event messages labeled priority 0 to 6 to the
Syslog server.

The WL520 device can be set up as a simple bridge between your wired and wireless network devices. As a bridge, the
functions performed by the WL520 device include:
— MAC address learning
— Forward and filtering decision making
— Spanning Tree protocol used for loop avoidance

Once the WL520 unit is connected to your network, it learns which devices are connected to it by recording the MAC
addresses of each device to which it sends packets during the course of a normal session. To view the Learn Table, click on the
Monitor button in the web interface and select the Learn Table tab. The table can hold up to 10,000 entries.

The Static MAC Address filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. The filter is an advanced Bridge
setup parameter for WL520 devices that enables you to deny data traffic between two specific devices via the wireless
interface(s) of the WL520 bridge.
For example, to prevent redundant traffic from being transmitted over the wireless network, you could deny traffic between two
particular servers, identified by their MAC Address and their location as perceived by the WL520 (on the ‘wired’ or wireless’
port of the bridge). In most situations, however, it is easier to control redundant traffic via other filtering options, such as
Protocol Filtering.
