Accept/Reject

The

Accept/Reject column allows you to allow or disallow transmission of the packet, depending upon the entry in

the

Source/Dest column.

For example, if the

Source/Dest column contains Source, and the Accept/Reject column contains Reject, the

DockLINK will not allow a message broadcast from that MAC Address to pass through.

If the

Source/Dest column contains Destination, and the Accept/Reject column contains Reject, the DockLINK will not

allow the message intended for that MAC Address to pass through.

Alternatively, If the

Source/Dest column contains Source, and the Accept/Reject column contains Accept, the

DockLINK allows the message from that MAC Address to broadcast through.

If the

Source/Dest column contains Destination, and the Accept/Reject column contains Accept, the DockLINK allows

the message from that MAC Address to pass through.
