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.
