entry with a universal URL. By doing this, you can allow Internet access for a
particular device only during hours that you specify. Access will be allowed to
all Internet sites. Internet access will not be allowed to any site outside of
the hours that you specify.
Under the tab, List of Allowed Addresses (Whitelist), click the Add button to
the right. A set of fields will appear. Give your Whitelist a name, and then
type in the MAC Address of the device you want your Whitelist to apply to.
Use the format XX:YY:ZZ:WW:VV:UU.
In this case, enter . (that is, the single character ‘dot’ or ‘period’) as the URL.
Parental Control will interpret this to apply to all websites.
