CHOOSE A CONTENT FILTER
Once the Smart Home Networking Service is installed, no one is
permitted to access the Internet without a user account. When you create
the user account, you have to assign it a content filter. The content filter
determines the sites the user can visit and the hours the user can access
the Internet.
AVAILABLE FILTERS
There are four content filters to choose from. They are described in
TABLE 6-5 on the next page.
Each user is assigned one of these four filters when the user 's account is
created. If the user tries to visit a site that is blocked by the filter, a
Blocked Access message appears and the user is refused permission to
land on the site.
Note: See Chapter 5 for instructions on creating a user account and
assigning a content filter. Chapter 5 also explains how to change
a user’s content filter.
BAR GRAPH
The Command Center provides a Content Filter Bar Graph. It gives an
approximation of the percentage of web sites blocked by a user’s
content filter. You can use these to compare content filters.
The bar graph appears on the Parental Controls (
FIGURE 6-1), Control
Filter Settings (
FIGURE 6-2), and User Settings (Chapter 5, FIGURE 5-3)
pages.
The following is an example of a typical Content Filter Bar Graph:
Orange represents the percentage of sites blocked and white the
percentage of sites allowed. The above example shows the graph for the
mature teen filter.
