+==== Local DevAddr Filtering ====
+In the case the LNS does not provide any NetID filter in the router_config message, it is possible to set local filters in order to only forward LoRa uplinks provided by a subset of devices.
+To configure this feature, use the '-f' option of the klk_bs_config tool, and provide inclusive and/or exclusive filters to indicate the sets of DevAddr to be kept and/or rejected.
+( see https://wikikerlink.fr/wirnet-productline/doku.php?id=wiki:lora:advanced_features#lorawan_frame_filtering for more details about filters values )
+++++Example:|
+<code bash>
+klk_bs_config -e -f "24abcdef/7" -f "!24abcdef/12"
+</code>
+Will configure basic station to forward messages provided by devices with DevAddr between 0x24000000 and 0x249fffff , or between 0x24b00000 and 0x25ffffff .

+<note info>
+The lead "0x" is not required before the base address of the filter.
