MAC Filtering
By default, the IDU is configured to pass all traffic between all MAC-Address pairs. To add an
address pair into the filter, click Add on the MAC Filtering box. First, enter the Remote Address,
which will be the MAC Address that resides on the remote side of the IDU. Second, enter the Local
Address, which will be the MAC Address that resides on the local side of your connection. The local
and remote interfaces are defined on either the Interface Setup or Advanced Interface Setup dialog
box. It is recommended that you define the RF port as the Remote Interface (default setting).
