Parental Control
This chapter gives some background information on parental control and explains how to
get started with the HomeSafe parental control.
12.1 Parental Control Overview
Parental Control lets a parent (LAN administrator) control a child’s (LAN user) Internet access
privileges by blocking services that you specify. The parent can create a login name and password
for each person (user) on the network. Each person must log into the system before they can gain
access to the Internet.
12.2 Parental Control Logins
Initial Configuration
1. For initial configuration, the HomeSafe directs the browser to the HomeSafe Welcome
page.
2. On completion of the initial configuration you can enter the Main Menu HomeSafe
configuration screen or set up your computer to access the Internet. A password is required
for both.
Child (User) log in
Once the initial configuration is complete, a computer on the network cannot gain Internet access
without first logging into the HomeSafe.
1. When you attempt to access a website, you are directed to the HomeSafe’s User Login
page.

2. After you enter your login name and password the device checks the access profile and
begins enforcing the access control restriction as defined by the administrator. The access
privileges remain in force until you log out.
3. After a successful login, your web browser displays a window that shows the remaining
budget time and a logout button.
