Menus Reference Manual: Bridge Pattern Filter Menu
The Add Alias option allows the creation of an easily identifiable string of characters to identify a complex Filter Mask:
Enter:
alias name (up to 8 characters)
> bmCast
Enter:
filter pattern for alias (up to 80 characters)
> 0-ffffffffffff
Enter:
alias ID number (from 1 to 32)
> 3
Once an alias is created, you must use Add Pattern to add the alias to the filter table and make it operational:
Enter:
filter pattern (up to 80 characters)
> bmCast
Enter:
pattern ID number (from 1 to 64)
>5
Check the alias filter assignment with the Show Pattern option:
