    Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router Chapter 8 Filter Configuration This chapter shows you how to create and apply filter(s). About Filtering Your Prestige uses filters to decide whether to allow passage of a data packet and/or to make a call. There are two types of filter applications: data filtering and call filtering.
  • Page 7: The Filter Structure Of The Prestige

    Prestige 642 ADSL Internet Access Router 8.1.1 The Filter Structure of the Prestige A filter set consists of one or more filter rules. Usually, you would group related rules, e.g., all the rules for NetBIOS, into a single set and give it a descriptive name. The Prestige allows you to configure up to twelve filter sets with six rules in each set, for a total of 72 filter rules in the system.
