10.5 MAC Filter Screen

The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG6604 to give exclusive access to devices (Allow) or

exclude devices from accessing the NBG6604 (Deny). Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media

Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of

hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the

devices to configure this screen.
