Content Categories
To make it easier to block undesirable content, a number of content categories
have been developed. Professional researchers working with a third-party
maintain a database of Web site addresses that fall under specified content
categories. This database is used to filter content for your children.
There are three content screening categories or groups:
No Restriction Setting
This group has no restrictions. A computer in this group will be able to access or
surf any website. This setting is most appropriate for adults.
Teen
This group has limited website access. For this list the administrator can select
categories they wish to block such as, Adult/Sexually Explicit websites, and
Criminal Skills websites. This setting is best for teens or children ages 10 – 18.
Kids
This group has the most restrictions of all of the groups to make sure that kids
can be protected while having fun on the Internet. This setting is best for kids 9
and under.
In addition, you can use the black list and white list features of the content
screening application to manually block or above below.
Step 1: Blocking Content Categories for Screening Groups
You can edit the Teens or Kids screening groups by selecting or deselecting the
categories you think the group should have access to.
On the Content Screening page, each device connected to the Homenet Gateway
is listed for you, with a drop-down menu to the right, under the CONTENT
SCREENING GROUP header.
