Managing Packet Flow Through the CPU

The CPU can selectively allow or disallow traffic to or
from the 10BaseT Network and the wireless link.
Proper packet flow management improves the speed
of the wireless link by eliminating unwanted network
traffic.

The CPU is set for optimum performance by default.
Only advanced users with special circumstances
should use the entries on MAC Filter screens.

. The CPU contains and manages two identical

filtering databases:

10BaseT Port MAC Filter List

Radio Port MAC Filter List

Each of these databases allows you to add up to 32
MAC Addresses and to allow or disallow the receipt or
transmission of data packets to specified MAC
Addresses.
