Parental Control Menu Options

The Parental Control Menu lets you:

¾

Configure the rules for Internet access based on user or time period

¾

Configure the rules to block certain Internet contents and certain web sites

¾

View the event logs related to parental control

To set up Parental Control, you first set up Policies in the

Basic Setup

Menu. Next, you assign a user

name and password for each user on your network. Finally you apply the Policies to individual users

in the

User Setup

Menu. When you enable Parental Control, each user must log on to view Internet

content. The content a user may access will be defined by the policy that you assigned to that user. A

user profile may optionally be applied to a specific computer, so that no login is required for users of

that computer.

This Basic Setup page allows you to configure rules which block certain Internet content and certain

Web sites. An override password and access duration timer allow user override of the content filter

settings. When entered, these allow a user Internet access without the constraint of the rules entered
