Using Parental
Controls
The abundance of harmful information on the Internet poses a serious challenge
for employers and parents alike - “How can I regulate what my employee/child
does on the Internet?” The Broadband Router’s Parental Controls allows users
to regulate, control, and monitor Internet access. By classifying and categorizing
online content, it is possible to create numerous Internet access policies and easily
apply them to networked computers.
Activating Parental Controls
The Router’s Parental Control service is provided by Surf Control
(http://www.surfcontrol.com/), a company specializing in Internet content filtering. A
subscription to this service must be activated to use the Router’s Parental Controls. To
subscribe through the Router’s MegaControl Panel:
1. Click Parental Controls from the top of the Home screen.
2. If no subscription has been activated, or the subscription has expired, the
“General” screen appears.
3. If the “Enable Web Content Filtering” check box in the “Activate” section is not
checked, click in the check box to activate.
4. Click Click Here to Initiate and Manage your Subscription in the
“Subscribe” section.
