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.

CheckedEnables 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.
