For example, in the figure below, Device B needs to communicate with Device E via modems C & D. The Filtering
requires that at Modem C has Device B in its Whitelist and Modem D has Device E in its Whitelist. With this filtering
Device A will be not be able to access Device E, as Device A is not present in the Whitelist in Modem C.
If an erroneous configuration has prevented all access to the module, SETUP mode may be used to restore
operation.
MAC Address Filter Configuration:
MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each device and so can be used to permit or deny network access to specific
devices through the use of Blacklists and Whitelists.
In theory, MAC filtering allows a administrators to permit or deny network access to hosts associated with the MAC
address, though in practice there are methods to circumvent this form of access control through address modification.
The MAC filter entry will match only the source MAC address in the packet.
Note: It is important to add the MAC Address of the configuration PC when creating a
Whitelist. If the configuration PC is not on the Whitelist, it will be unable to communicate
with the module for further configuration
.
Select “Blacklist” or
“Whitelist”.
Blacklist will prevent all listed devices from accessing the module and using the radio link.
Whitelist will allow devices with the MAC addresses listed to communicate with the
module and utilize the radio link. All other devices are blocked.

IP Address Filter Configuration:
The IP filter allows can be used to permit or deny network access to specific devices through the use of Blacklists
(blocking of traffic that matches a rule) and Whitelists (allow traffic that matches a rule).
The IP filter entry will match either source or destination address in the packet. That is, if either the source or
destination IP address falls within the address range specified in the rule, the packet is matched and will be discarded
(Blacklist) or allowed (Whitelist).
If the protocol is specified, the protocol of the packet must also match. If the protocol is TCP or UDP the source or
destination TCP/UDP can also be inspected. If the IP address and protocol matches and the source or destination port
number falls within the range specified, the packet is matched.
