You can define filters for common networking protocols such as IP,
Novell IPX, and 802.2 LLC. You can also set filters that will pass only those
Ethernet frame types found on your network.
You can set the default action for general and specific frame types. For
example, you can set the DIX-Other EtherTypes frame parameter to
drop, and then use the subtype menus to pass only those specific DIX
types that are used in your radio network.
You can also set the scope for general and specific frame types. For
example, you can set the action to Drop and the scope to All for DIX-IP-
TCP Ports, and then all IP packets with the TCP type will be dropped even
if specific TCP parts are set to pass in the subtype menus.
Action
Set the action to Pass or Drop. If you select Pass, then all frames of
that type are passed. If you select Drop, then all frames of that
type are dropped.
Scope
Set scope to Unlisted or All. If you select All, then all frames of that
