• For maximum security, consider a storage device, attached to a network, dedicated to entertainment and media. When using a wireless network: • Use wireless security such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2. For more about wireless security, click the link to "Wireless Networking Basics:" on page B-1. • 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 to restrict using the standard entertainment industry ratings such as G, PG, NR, and so on. To display the list of available ratings, select 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 that block access to files based on the rating category you select. When you do, you assign an access code to the restricted portion of your media library. You need this code any time you want to access the restricted files. 5-14
