can pose a security risk. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application. IP Filter The Modem can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single c omputer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. To restrict Internet access to a single computer, for example, enter the Start/End IP address of the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields.
MAC Filter The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access. When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client (computer) on your network to allow network access to each. To use MAC Filter function, you should check “ON/OFF” box at first.
