A decision screen appears. Decide whether this PC is going to be the
ISS server or an ISS client, then click
Install.
10 If this PC is the ISS server, type in a Parental Control password for Web
site filtering. If you don’t want a password, just click
Next.
The password can be from 1-10 characters and is case-sensitive.
Therefore,
PASSWORD, Password, and password would each be
considered unique. If you choose to create a password, no one can
make changes to the Parental Control settings unless they enter the
password when prompted.
Note: For most Internet Service Providers (ISPs), the Internet
connection is shared automatically when you install ISS. However,
some ISPs may require extra steps to work with ISS. Cable
modems and DSL may also require special steps (see
"Internet
Service Provider Reference" on page 63
for more information).
ISS Server
The network can have only
one ISS server and it must be
set up and running (not
turned off) to share its
Internet connection with ISS
clients.
ISS Client
ISS clients can access the
Internet through the ISS
server PC.
Be sure to write
down the password
you enter. If you forget
the password later,
you will have to
uninstall and then
reinstall the AnyPoint
Connectivity Software
Suite to make any
changes to the
Parental Control
settings.
