NBG4615 User’s Guide

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.
