Adding or removing modem privacy filters
Using the Add privacy filters function
Separate MAC filter tables exist for CO and CPE modems. If no MAC
addresses appear in the MAC Filter table for a particular modem, it will pass
all Ethernet traffic. If any MAC addresses appear in the MAC Filter table for
a particular modem, the modem will only accept Ethernet packets from those
addresses. In addition, only registered hosts connected to the CPE modem can
make use of the connection.
It is possible to store up to eight addresses per modem, allowing multiple
gateways to be used.
