7.2.1 Configuring The Content-based Filter
Introduction
Address based filtering has a higher priority then content based filtering. This means that when you are
blocking a specific category (for example Finance / Investment), you can still access
(netbanking.mybank.com) provided you create a rule to allow access to that URL (for example
netbanking.mybank.com).
Accessing the configuration page
Proceed as follows:
1 Browse to the Thomson Gateway Web Interface.
2 On the Toolbox menu, click Web Site Filtering/Parental Control.
3 On the Location bar, click Configure.
4 Under Content Based Filtering you can change the settings of the content based filter.
Configuring the content-based filter
Under Content Based Filtering:
1 Select Use Content Based Filter check box (if needed).
2 In the Action for uncategorised sites list, select a default action for sites that have not yet been
categorised.
3 Under Content Level, select the content level you want to use.
4 If you want a more detailed view of the content that will be blocked for this level, click the Edit link next to
the content level.
If needed, you can change the Name, Description and Configuration of the content level. Click Apply after
you have made your changes.
Creating your own content level
Proceed as follows:
1 In the Pick a task list, click Create a new content level.
2 Enter a Name and Description for your content level and click Next.
3 Under Configuration, select:
Clone Existing Level if you want to start from an existing level. You can now select the level that you
want to clone.
