Filters

You can configure advanced filters if you need more flexibility in your
filtering. Settings for advanced filters execute after those for other filters;
that is, advanced filters are only applied if the frame has passed the
other filters.

You can use filter values and filter expressions to minimize network
traffic over the wireless links; however, it is recommended that you use
advanced Ethernet filters only if you have an extensive understanding of
network frames and their contents. Use other existing filters whenever
possible.

Setting Filter Values.

You can associate an ID with a pattern value by selecting a filter and then
entering an ID and a value. All values with the same value ID belong to
the same list.

To set the value ID and value:

1. From the main menu, click Ethernet and then click Advanced Filters.

2. Click Filter Values. The Filter Values screen appears, as shown in

Figure 28.

3. Enter up to 22 value IDs and values.
