URL
The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies and helps locates resources on a network. On the
Internet the URL is the web address that you type in the address bar of your Internet browser, for
example “http://www.zyxel.com”.
IP/MAC Filter Structure
An IP/MAC filter set consists of one or more filter rules. The Device allows you to configure each
type of filter with its own set of filter rules.
