When using a wireless network:
• Use wireless security such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2. For more about
wireless security, see the link “Wireless Communications:” in
Appendix B.
• Use a firewall or home router with Network Address Translation
(NAT), which hides your in-home systems from the Internet.
Exercising Parental Control
To exercise parental controls to govern who can access some or all of
your media library, you must complete these three tasks:
• Use the Tag Tool to tag the media files you want restrict using the
standard entertainment industry ratings such as G, PG, NR, etc. To
display the list of available ratings, go here: More > Supervisor
Functions > Advanced Setup > Local settings > Security > Parental
controls.
• Put the media file in a shared directory on your network that is
password protected.
This prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing files from a
shared directory on your network.
You can create separate shares for individual folders, and set a
different parental control for each share.
• Configure the Digital Entertainer HD in these ways:
– Change the supervisor password from the factory default.
This prevents unauthorized users from bypassing the protections
you will use.
– In the Digital Entertainer HD, store the password for the
protected shared directory where the limited access media files
are stored.
– Enable the parental control features of the Digital Entertainer HD
which block access to files based on the rating category you
select. When you do, you will assign an access code to the
restricted portion of your media library. You will need this code
any time you want to access the restricted files.
