Chapter 3: Terminal Menu Operation and Structure
Security/Filter Defines
The Express XL/XLT can filter packets based on certain parameters within the packet. The method used by the Express XL/XLT allows the highest flexibility for defining filters and assigning them to a Connection List profile. The filters are set up in two steps: (1) defining the packet types, and (2) adding them to a list under the Connection List profile. See the section Connection List/Filters on page 79 for examples of how to set up filter profiles. This menu is used to de- fine the individual filter defines based on packet type.

The MAC filter is applied to bridge packets only. Bridge packets which are for- warded by the bridge functionality of the Express XL/XLT are defined here. Up to 32 MAC defines can be specified.
