Setting Local Network MAC Filtering
This is also known as LANCAM (Local Area Network Content Addressable Memory) filtering. A Local
network MAC filter is simply a list of MAC addresses of units that are located on the same LAN. Data
flowing between units in the list is
not sent across the wireless link. The table shows up to eight local
MAC addresses that are automatically discovered by the unit when Local Network Mac filtering is on.
This filtering enables data to be handled more efficiently and saves radio bandwidth for traffic that
really needs it.
