This chapter introduces additional useful functions and
features of the FRITZ!Box.
7.1
Child Protection
The child protection feature in the FRITZ!Box allows you to
specify when and for how long individual computers or
Windows users may use the Internet. For instance, you can
define that your children are allowed to use the Internet
connection only on weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and
8:00 p.m., and then only for one hour.
Child protection is set in the “Internet / Child Protection”
menu.
•
Child protection can be set up for any computer, re-
gardless of the operating system used.
•
In the Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP
operating systems, child protection can be config-
ured for each user individually.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box to set up child pro-
tection. The Online Help contains further comprehensive
information on the child protection feature.
7.2
Energy Monitor
The FRITZ!Box is extremely efficient in its energy use.
The individual modules of the FRITZ!Box adapt their ener-
gy consumption to the amount needed at any given time.
Modules that are not in use or being used far below their
capacity reduce their energy consumption accordingly.
For an overview of energy consumption, open the “System
/ Energy Monitor” menu.
The “Child Protection” menu is available only if you have
set up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and estab-
lished an Internet connection. The menu is not available
if you have configured the FRITZ!Box as a DSL modem or
IP client.
