Ratings Service

Your Internet Service provider may offer advanced

 

parental control services. Advanced parental control

 

utilizes Internet based servers to rate Web sites for

 

undesirable content. The rating service will evaluate

 

and rate every Internet site that a user attempts to

 

access through your gateway. The process is extremely

 

fast and does not affect the time it takes to bring up

 

Internet sites on your browser.

 

If a category (or categories) is selected from the rating

 

service category list, then access to any Internet site

 

that has a rating that matches the selected category will

 

be blocked by the gateway.
