Parental Control Tab - On-Line Scheduler
The
Parental Control
tab allows you to control and optimize your user’s access to the Internet from your network.
This control can also be exercised through the Utility provided on the CD included with the Router.
The first screen to appear,
On-Line Scheduler
, allows you to allow or deny Internet access, according to the
schedule, to any of the users on your network.
Select User
: From this drop-down menu, select the user whose access you wish to schedule.
From the schedule below, you can restrict or allow access to the Internet. Each day in the schedule is broken into
eight blocks of time. Each block is divided into three hours. Click on any of the boxed hours to make the box red
or green. A red box means that access is restricted. A green box means the user is allowed access.
You can also restrict or allow entire days, or daytime or evening periods, in the lower portion of the screen.
