Repeating All Network Broadcast Packets
In network broadcast packets the destination group and individual destination
address are zeros. Therefore, setting these addresses to zero in the list will
cause all network broadcast packets, regardless of their source address, to be
repeated
Repeating All Group Broadcast Packets
In group broadcast packets the destination individual address is zero. Therefore,
setting the individual address to zero in the list, for a particular group address,
will cause all group broadcast packets going to that group to be repeated,
regardless of their source address.
These configuration options are set using the Packet for Port tab of the Modem
Configuration.
