Hello,
It passes the MAC address from the laptop to the dock. This is a corporation feature for security reasons. Release notes are not the place to explain the feature. The user guide is the place to explain a feature and how to use it. The product manufacturers have requested the feature and they are creating the documentation supporting products they design, manufacture and sell. The name MAC address pass-through is a term known by all IT managers who are implementing MAC address filtering on their network and is totally irrelevant for everyone else. Kind regards, Alban
