scope.instantiateFilter table

When you specify a filter in the instantiateFilter table, only devices that pass the criteria are instantiated, that is, sent to the DNCIM database. If no filter is specified, all discovered devices are instantiated.

Note that because the m_Protocol column must be unique, there must be only one insert into this table for any given protocol. Multiple filters must be defined within a single insert.
