The settings for the MAC Address WebFilter Rules section match those for the Network WebFilter Rules, except that you must assign a MAC address instead of a network to each rule. The voltage switch must be set correctly to avoid damaging your computer. Set the switch to show “115” for AC voltages in the 100–120V range.
