Access Control (Parental Controls)

Introduction

Your kids enjoy Internet activities - gaming, e-mail, chatting with friends, and
doing research for school projects; but with unlimited Internet access comes
increased concern about what kids have access to, and how much time they're
spending online. Parents need an easy way to maintain control of what their
children see and do on the Internet and when.
To resolve this Parental Controls offers Content Screening, Scheduled Screening,
and Internet Access Control. These features mean you have the power to protect
your kids from Internet threats and effectively monitor their online experiences.
From the Home tab, click on the Access Controls link under the FIREWALL icon to
view the Access Control Sumamry page.
From this Summary page, you are able to view the various devices connected to
your network (and the restrictions that may be in place for each device), or to
access either Time Schedule restrictions or the Content Screening restrictions.

Content Screening

Content screening allows you to protect your children from questionable sites,
identify categories, such as hate, pornography or violence that you don't want
your child to view, and create a list of approved sites.
The HomeNet Gateway, via a continually updated website database, also
identifies and categorizes new sites or lists them as "unrated" so you can decide
whether you want to approve them or not.
