Access and Network Security Use care when sharing media, and set up security in your home network to protect your privacy and avoid unauthorized access to your photos and media files. When sharing media use the following precautions: • Share only the folders containing media files. DO NOT share your main hard drive or any folder containing programs or personal data. • Share media folders on a read-only basis (do not allow others to write to the folders.) unless recording to the folders. • For maximum security, consider a network attached storage device dedicated to entertainment and media. When using a wireless network you should: • 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. • 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. • 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. 5-14
