The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG4615 to give exclusive access to devices
(Allow) or exclude devices from accessing the NBG4615 (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.
