+Both this menu and the various display menus, (such as IP Traffic - Transfer Rates, IP Traffic - Daily) contain //Include// and //Exclude// fields. They are not the same thing. The difference is that the Include and Exclude fields in this menu set which IP addresses you want **monitored** or not monitored. By contrast, on the various display menus, the Include and Exclude fields set which addresses you want **displayed** or not displayed. Those not displayed, those addresses will still be tracked/logged by the IP Traffic Monitoring function.
