The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG to give exclusive access to devices (Allow) or
exclude devices from accessing the NBG (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.
