Child-safety feature off/on
You can regulate WiFi access for specific devices based
on time using this function. For instance, to prevent
your children from using the Internet excessively, you
can define how long they may use the WiFi per day.
Synchronisation with an (Internet) time server is neces-
sary to be able to use the parental controls. In this ca-
se, the time server (Management  Management 
Date and time  Retrieve date and time automa-
tically) for the dLAN 550+ WiFi has to be enabled and
an active Internet connection is also required.
The time server pool.ntp.org is
enabled by default.
If you would like to set up a daily time quota (usage
quota in hours), enable the option Turn on parental
controls. Now enter the MAC addresses for the de-
vices for which you would like to set up a time quota.
You can enter the MAC addresses manually or select
them from the list of currently known devices (see Sta-
tus overview  WiFi monitor). Confirm the entries
with OK.
WiFi devices with time quota

the usage time per day is limited.
Each device is displayed with its MAC address, name,

Click or tap the gear icon to go to the settings menu
for the time quota. If you would like the time quota to
be monitored, enable the option The time limit will

The daily time quota (time window, usage time from
- to a.m./p.m.) can be specified in hours and minutes.
If you want to assign the same time quota, you can au-
tomatically apply your entry to all days under Apply
time quota to all days of the week by clicking the
arrow icon.
To delete a time quota later, click the corresponding
trash icon.
A time quota can only be used if it matches the time
periods defined in the WLAN time control and if the
dLAN 550+ WiFi is enabled and there is an Internet
connection. (see 4.3.2 WLAN time control).
The time quotas for the parental controls and the WiFi
time control setting are defined per weekday.
If you set a time quota, it will not be
enabled until the next day (mid-
night).
