6 SAVING ENERGY 6 Saving Energy Code of Conduct To prove its commitment to protect the environment, Technicolor has signed the Code of Conduct, a global agreement to reduce the power consumption of broadband access devices. For more information, see “6.1 Code of Conduct” on page 48. Technicolor power saving innovations To further reduce the power consumption, Technicolor has developed the ECO Manager.
6 SAVING ENERGY 6.1 Code of Conduct Power states Code of Conduct provides rules for the power consumption in: Full power state: This is the normal operation mode of the device, where all functionality is enabled. Low power state: When there is no user traffic on the device, the device should switch to low power mode. This is a state in which devices are only allowed to use a limited amount of energy to be able to power its components and respond to user activity.
6 SAVING ENERGY 6.2 ECO Manager Introduction The MediaAccess Gateway constantly monitors the user activity and uses this information to optimise the power consumption: For example: The MediaAccess Gateway reduces the clock frequency of the central processor when there is no or low user activity. This lowered clock frequency will result in a lower power consumption of the MediaAccess Gateway. Disable the USB port(s) when they are not used Switch the wireless interface to power reduction mode.
6 SAVING ENERGY 6.3 Manually Switching Off Services to Reduce Power ECO button If you are not using the wireless access point of your MediaAccess Gateway, you might consider to disable the wireless access point permanently.

9 INTERNET SECURITY 9.1 Parental Control Introduction The MediaAccess Gateway allows you to deny access to specific web sites. Access Denied page When a user tries to access a page that is being blocked, the following page is displayed: Address-based filtering With address-based filtering (or URL-filtering) you can block web sites based on their address (for example www.porn.com).
9 INTERNET SECURITY Option 1: content-based filter (combined with the address-based filter) If you want to use the content-based filtering: 1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI. For more information, see “Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33. 2 On the Toolbox menu, click Parental Control. 3 On the Navigation bar, click Configure. 4 Make sure that the Use Content-Based Filter check box is selected. 5 Configure the content-based filter. For more information, see “9.1.
9 INTERNET SECURITY 9.1.1 Configuring Content-based Filtering Requirements Content-based filtering must be activated on your MediaAccess Gateway. For more information, see “Activating content-based filtering” on page 80. Accessing the configuration page Proceed as follows: 1 Browse to the MediaAccess Gateway GUI. For more information, see “Accessing the MediaAccess Gateway GUI” on page 33. 2 On the Toolbox menu, click Parental Control. 3 On the Navigation bar, click Configure.
9 INTERNET SECURITY 9.1.2 Adding Rules for Address-Based Filtering Introduction Address-based filtering has a higher priority than content-based filtering.
