Configuring the IP Filter
To define an IP filter, you indicate host and mask IP addresses on the local Ethernet and set the filter
to On. Data packets sent to these addresses or originating from them will be passed by the CPE.
Packets coming from or bound for addresses not defined in the filters will be dropped by the CPE.
This provides privacy in two directions, by allowing only authorized users to send or receive. Only
remote units can have IP filters and the IP Filter Configuration option appears only on the menus of
the remote units.
If you set the IP Filtering Option to Filter as described in Setting the IP Filtering Option , page 78 , but
set all the filters to off, as described in this section, then no IP packets can pass through the unit.
