Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable recording media implementing detection of wireless home digital interface (WHDI) devices and the configuration of parental control for each. Authenticating through a set-top box (STB) at least one end device (ED), being a WHDI device, on a wireless network. The STB includes a database that provides access codes/set of pins for each ED that is added to the wireless network. When an identification of an ED is already in the database of the STB, and parental control is part of a content access request, a MAC address of the ED is authenticated and an access code/set of pins is obtained. The content access request is processed when the access code/set of pins obtained matches the access code/set of pins that is configured in the database of the STB.
