8-8 Filter Configuration
Applying a Filter Set
After configuring a filter set in Menu 21, you must specify where and how the filter will be used.
Data filters can be applied either at the LAN interface (in Menu 3.1) or at the Remote Node
interface (Menu 11.1) and can be specified for incoming or outgoing packets. Call filters, which
determine whether or not to place a call to forward the packet, are applied at the Remote Node
interface (Menu 11.1). Up to four filter sets can be applied to the same port by entering the
numbers of the desired filter sets, separated by commas, with no spaces. In the following example,
the Remote Node Profile line of Menu 11.1 specifies that filter sets 1, 3, and 10 are used to
determine whether a packet causes a call to be placed to the remote node:
Call Filter Sets = 1,3,10
