Adding filters to a filter set
There are two kinds of filters you can add to a filter set: input and output. Input filters check packets 
received from the Internet, destined for your network. Output filters check packets transmitted from your 
network to the Internet.
Packets in Netopia Embedded Software Version 7.7.4 pass through an input filter if they originate from the WAN and 
through an output filter if they’re being sent out to the WAN.
The process for adding input and output filters is exactly the same. The main difference between the two 
involves their reference to source and destination. From the perspective of an input filter, your local network 
is the destination of the packets it checks, and the remote network is their source. From the perspective of 
an output filter, your local network is the source of the packets, and the remote network is their destination.
To add a filter, select the 
Filter Set Name to which you will add a filter, and click the
