If more than one USB device without its own power supply is connected to the FRITZ!Box, note that, in accordance with the USB specification, the total current consumption may not exceed a value of 500 mA. Otherwise unspecified malfunctions with the USB devices or even damage to the FRITZ!Box may occur.

☐AVM expressly advises against installing firmware updates for USB devices connected to the computer via the USB remote connection on the FRITZ!Box.

USB Mass Storage Devices

When using a USB storage device at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box, please keep in mind the following:

Before removing the USB storage device, select the "Remove Safely" button in the FRITZ!Box user interface to prevent losses of data.

To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box or the USB storage device, operate USB storage devices that require more than one USB port for operation (for instance hard drives with a Y cable) only if they have their own power supply or a USB hub with its own power supply.

☐AVM has no influence over external interference to the USB storage devices on the FRITZ!Box. Thus such phenomena as voltage spikes during storms may occur, and writing to older USB memory devices may corrupt the data structure due to a high number of defective structures. In such cases a complete loss of data may occur.

Therefore AVM recommends always making a security copy of the USB memory content so that your data are not irretrievably lost.

9 Configuration and Operation at the Telephone

FRITZ!Box Keypad Sequences

Acknowledgment Tone

Many of the FRITZ!Box functions and features can be configured and used over a telephone connected to a FRITZ!Box extension. Only tone-dialing (dual-tone multifrequency = DTMF) telephones can be used in configuration and operation. Pulse dialing telephones are not suitable.

The telephone network features can be used only if they are supported by your telephone network carrier and enabled on your telephone line.

Entries input on the telephone are confirmed with acknowledgement tones (see also “Handset and Ring Patterns” on page 113):

Entries made correctly are confirmed with a positive acknowledgement tone (a single tone of one second in length).

If the entry was not successful, because of an incorrect key sequence, for instance, you hear a negative acknowledgment tone (an intermittent tone broken into intervals of about 0.25 seconds).

Call Diversion on the ISDN Line

Call forwarding is performed by the ISDN operator's switching station. To use call forwarding, FRITZ!Box must be connected to an ISDN line. Then this feature can be used to forward calls to an external line. Call forwarding is subject to charges by the network provider and cannot be used to forward calls to Internet numbers.

In addition to call forwarding, there is also call diversion via the FRITZ!Box. Use this kind of call diversion to divert calls to internal and external lines. See the section “Call Diversion” on page 67 for more information.

Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at the same time.

For call forwarding you may specify whether you want incoming calls to be forwarded unconditionally, after the fifth ring, or when busy. Different settings may be configured separately for each number.

Call Forwarding Immediately

Incoming calls for the given MSN are always diverted immediately to the specified number. Call forwarding is subject to charges by the network provider and cannot be used for forwarding calls to Internet numbers.

Call Diversion

Incoming calls to the FRITZ!Box telephones can be diverted to a different extension or to an external number. In contrast to call diversion over FRITZ!Box, there is also call forwarding (call diversion via the central exchange). How to use call forwarding by phone is described in the section "Call Diversion on the ISDN Line" on page 61.

Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at the same time.

Call diversion allows you to forward calls to an external line or to another extension. This kind of diversion is organized inside FRITZ!Box so that diversions to another extension are free of charge. Calls are diverted to an external number over your ISDN line's second B channel and are subject to normal transmission charges. If the FRITZ!Box is operated on an analog telephone line, incoming calls can only be diverted to a different extension or to numerical Internet numbers.

Note that only numerical Internet numbers can be entered for diversion to an Internet number.

You can specify the conditions under which an incoming call will be diverted over FRITZ!Box. You can select one of five different options. Different settings may be saved for each extension.

Call Waiting

Call waiting can be switched on or off for each extension. Some older terminal equipment connected to extensions may misinterpret the call waiting signal. This is especially true of fax machines and modems. If communication errors occur, you should disable call waiting for fax and modem extensions.

See section “Waiting Calls” on page 79 for information about how to accept a call while another connection is active.

When Call Waiting is enabled, modem and fax connections may be interrupted.

Caller ID Suppression for Outgoing Calls (CLIR)

The CLIR (Calling Line Identification Restriction) function prevents your telephone number being displayed on the other party's phone during outgoing calls.

The CLIR function is disabled in the factory settings. You have the option of enabling this function permanently and then disabling it again. CLIR can also be used for individual connections. When CLIR is permanently enabled, this setting is saved for the extension and always enabled for outgoing connections.

If you would like to conduct only certain calls with the Caller ID suppressed, prefix the number dialed with a keypad sequence. This enables CLIR only for the current connection.

Connected ISDN Line Identification Restriction and Presentation (COLR/COLP)

By default, a caller's display always shows the Multiple Subscriber Number (MSN) of the extension she or he dialed. Yet if you take the call at another extension, the MSN of this extension will be displayed (see page 78). If you do not want the caller to know that the call has been picked up at another extension and thus wish this number to remain concealed, you have the option of suppressing transmission of the connected line's number. The caller's display will continue to show the number that was actually dialed.

Transmission of the connected line's number can be switched on and off for each extension individually. Transmission of the connected line's number is permanently enabled in the factory settings.

With this type of external transfer, both parties are connected to each other over your PBX. This means that both Bchannels on your ISDN line remain busy with this c nection as long as the parties are connected to each other.

Suspending/Resuming a Call on the ISDN Line

The “Suspend/Resume” feature, also known technically as Terminal Portability, allows you to suspend an existing connection and resume it at another point on the S_0 bus. The connection can be resumed at a different ISDN terminal device (such as an ISDN telephone) that is connected to your BRI line along with the FRITZ!Box.

You will hear an acknowledgement tone to indicate that the call has been successfully suspended. If you hear the failure tone, this may indicate that you made a mistake, or that the “Suspend/Resume” feature is not enabled on your line. It is also possible that the parked-call ID you chose is already in use.

You can resume the suspended call using another ISDN device on the S_0 bus.

Suspend/Resume a Call
You are talking to a caller.
Press the Hold button. Caller 1 is now suspended.

2 M o r e a b o u t W L A

AVM and WLAN

WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection.

2.1 Standards

The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n (on the basis of the preliminary draft 2.0 of the standard) and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).

The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n define the transmission rate within a wireless LAN. The IEEE 802.11i standard is a security standard.

Standards for the Throughput Rate

Data throughput The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n. WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards listed can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.

The standards are intended for different frequency bands.

Standard Frequency Band Gross	Data Throughput up to	Net Data Throughput up to
802.11a	5 GHz	54 Mbit/s	25 Mbit/s
802.11b	2.4 GHz	11 Mbit/s	5 Mbit/s
802.11g	2.4 GHz	54 Mbit/s	25 Mbit/s
802.11n	2.4 / 5 GHz	300 Mbit/s	100 Mbit/s

The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission rate of the user data.

Range The range within a WLAN is highly dependent on the following factors:

the WLAN adapter used
the structural conditions
the amount of radio traffic on the same frequency band. Other WLAN networks, microwave ovens or Bluetooth transmitters (mobile telephones) may be active.

IEEE 802.11a Because this standard works exclusively in the seldom used 5-GHz range, it offers the opportunity to transmit data relatively free of interference from external influences. WLAN adapters that support 802.11a are much less common that devices that work in accordance with the 802.11b/g standard.

IEEE 802.11b With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the oldest standard for radio networks. Older WLAN adapters of the first generation can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.11b. However, if the WLAN adapter supports newer standards such as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used.

IEEE 802.11g This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It communicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s gross in the 2.4-GHz frequency range (ISM) and guarantees broad compatibility with many WLAN devices.

However, due to heavy use of the 2.4-GHz range, interference is more common than in the less-used 5-GHz range.

IEEE 802.11n This standard allows for high throughput rates and ranges. The FRITZ!Box supports 802.11n in the 2.4-GHz frequency band, or, if desired, also in the 5-GHz frequency band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) use the entire frequency band available more effectively than the older standards.

The use of the 802.11n standard—and thus the availability of higher throughput rates—is possible only if the \ connection is secured using the WPA2 security mechanism (AES-CCMP).

Combining this standard with the 802.11g ensures compatibility with older WLAN adapters.

The Standard for Security

IEEE 802.11i The WPA2 security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mechanism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).

The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-CCMP encryption process:

Mechanism Encryption
WPA TKIP (Temporary	Key Integrity Protocol)
WPA2 TKIP	AES-CCMPAES-CCM based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC Protocol) defines how the AES procedure is applied to WLAN packets.

FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box can be used in combination with any WLAN adapters that also support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.

2.2 Security

Security is of utmost importance within radio networks.

Radio signals can also be received outside of office or residential spaces and abused for criminal purposes.

Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared network resources.

FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contribute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of your computers.

Encryption

The most important security setting is encryption. FRITZ!Box supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 as follows:

As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is determined to serve for the encryption of the user data.

Enter the key in the WLAN security settings of the FRITZ!Box. All of the WLAN adapters in your wireless network must also use this key.

The WPA and WPA2 mechanisms provide for authentication while the connection is being established. For this a WPA password must be defined.

When WPA is selected, the TKIP encryption method is used to encrypt the user data. In WPA2 the AES-CCMP encryption method is used.

The encryption method you configure here must also be supported by your WLAN adapter.

The user data are encrypted using an automatically generated key. This key is regenerated at regular intervals.

The WPA password used may be 8 to 63 characters in length. For increased security, however, the password should be at least 20 characters long. Use numerals, letters and special characters and combine capitals and lower-case letters.

Default Setting In the FRITZ!Box a method combining WPA + WPA2 encryption with the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is preconfigured. This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods.

It is advisable to change the preconfigured WLAN key as soon as possible. Changes to the settings can be configured on the FRITZ!Box user interface.

Recommendation

If your WLAN adapter supports an encryption method that is more secure than the one preconfigured in the FRITZ!Box, you should select the more secure encryption method in your FRITZ!Box.

To configure the best security settings possible with FRITZ!Box and your WLAN adapter, please note the following recommendations:

If your WLAN adapter supports WPA2 in accordance with the 802.11i standard:

• Enable WPA encryption.
• Select the WPA mode “WPA2 (CCMP)” or “WPA+WPA2”.
• Replace the WPA network key with a new, unique value.

If your WLAN adapter supports the WPA mechanism, but not the WPA2 mechanism:

• Enable WPA encryption.
• Select the WPA mode “WPA (TKIP)” or “WPA+WPA2”.
• Replace the WPA network key with a new, unique value.

If your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2 mechanism:

• Enable WEP encryption.
• Replace the WLAN key with a new, unique value.

We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered within minutes.

2.3 Frequency Ranges

WLAN uses the frequency range around 2.4 GHz in the ISM band or, alternatively, the frequency range at 5 GHz.

You can use both frequency ranges with the FRITZ!Box.

2.4-GHz Frequency Band

A WLAN in the 2.4-GHz frequency band works in the same band as Bluetooth, microwave devices and many cordless telephones. This means that interference may occur within WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally the only adverse effects are to the transmission rate; aborted connections and data losses are rare.

In the 2.4-GHz frequency range the European regulation authorities have designated 13 channels for WLAN. One channel has a bandwidth of 20 MHz.

A channel can have a bandwidth of 20 MHz (throughput up to 130 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 300 Mbit/s).

Channels located directly next to each other may overlap and result in mutual interference. For instance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in the 2.4-GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, a distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used. This means that if channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6 through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.

WLAN Autochannel

With the WLAN Autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automatically searches for the channel subject to the least interference. Should problems with interference persist despite this function, try to identify the source of interference and switch it off manually.

Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are presented in the section “Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless Networks” from page 101.

5-GHz Frequency Band

The FRITZ!Box can operate in the 5-GHz frequency band as an alternative. This frequency range is used much less often than the most common 2.4-GHz frequency range.

In the 5-GHz frequency band, your FRITZ!Box occasionally may change channels unexpectedly due to DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) if a “higher privileged user” simultaneously claims the selected channel. This can happen especially when military or civilian radar is used in the immediate vicinity.

A prerequisite for use of the 5-GHz frequency band is that all WLAN adapters in the network support this frequency range in accordance with the IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 8002.11n standard.

2.4 GHz or 5 GHz

The FRITZ!Box works in the WLAN network either in the 2.4-GHz range or in the 5-GHz range, but not parallel in both frequency ranges at the same time.

Bandwidth In

both frequency ranges you can select between channel bandwidths of 20 MHz or 40 MHz (exception: channel 140 in the 5-GHz frequency band). The FRITZ!Box initially attempts to select a channel with 40 MHz bandwidth (throughput up to 300 Mbit/s). If this is not possible due to interference or channels already being used by other WLANs in the vicinity, the FRITZ!Box automatically switches over to a channel with 20 MHz bandwidth. Greater bandwidth provides for higher data throughput:

Bandwidth (MHz) Maximum Data Throughput (Mbit/s)
20 130
40 300

Increasing bandwidths also increases the probability of interference by wireless networks in the vicinity. Large bandwidths reduce the frequency range available to other wireless networks in the vicinity.

Allocation of the WLAN channels in the 2.4-GHz range:

Channel Frequency (MHz) Channel Frequency (MHz)
1 2412 8 2447
2 2417 9 2452
3 2422 10 2457
4 2427 11 2462

3 More about Network Settings

FRITZ!Box and Networks

The FRITZ!Box is delivered with preconfigured network settings. According to these settings, all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in the same subnetwork.

You can change any of these preconfigured settings, but should only do so if you are well versed in networking technology.

The Glossary (see the chapter “Glossary” from page 142) explains concepts and terminology having to do with IP networks.
The sections “IP Address” on page 129, “DHCP Server” on page 131 and “Subnetwork” on page 133 explain when it may make sense to change the preconfigured network settings, what the effects of these changes are, and how to make the changes.

If you do not have much experience in setting up networks, please read this chapter in full.

Upon delivery, the network settings of the FRITZ!Box are preconfigured as follows:

Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP network	enabled
IP address 192.168.178.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server enabled

3.1 IP Address

The FRITZ!Box is delivered with an IP address preset.

Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP network	enabled
IP address 192.168.178.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server enabled

The IP address and the corresponding subnet mask automatically yield the following values:

Network address of the subnet 192.168.178.0
Entire IP address pool for the computers	192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253

You can change the preset IP address.

When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address?

Circumstances You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the following apply to your network:

☐You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with several computers.
☐Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network settings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not permitted to change these addresses.
☐You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the subnet in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to all of the computers in the subnet.

IP Address What IP address must you assign for the FRITZ!Box and what else must be taken into consideration?

The IP address must come from the address range of your existing subnet.

The subnet mask must correspond with that of the connected subnet.

When the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box is enabled, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server. If none of the computers in your network has an address from this pool, the DHCP server can remain switched on. If one of the computers has a fixed address assigned from this pool, you should switch off the DHCP server.

If you can no longer open the FRITZ!Box user interface after entering the IP address, see the information in the section “Errors Opening the User Interface” from page 91.

Reserved IP Addresses

The following address range is reserved in FRITZ!Box for internal purposes.

192.168.180.1 - 192.168.180.254

IP addresses from this range may not be assigned to FRITZ!Box.

How Can the IP Address Be Changed?

1. Start a web browser on your computer.
2. Enter fritz.box in the address line of the browser.
3. Select the “Advanced Settings / System” menu in the “Settings” area.
4. Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting by clicking “Apply”.
5. Open the "System / Network Settings" menu.
6. Click the "IP Addresses" button.
7. Make the changes on the "IP Settings" page and then click "Apply".

3.2 DHCP Server

The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. Every time the operating system on a computer connected with FRITZ!Box is started, it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server.

Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.

Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP network	enabled
IP address 192.168.178.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server enabled

The IP address, the corresponding subnet mask and the activated DHCP server automatically yield the following values:

Network address of the subnet 192.168.178.0
Entire IP address pool for the com-puters	192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253
Address pool of the DHCP server 192.168.178.20 - 200

In every subnet of the FRITZ!Box, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server.

Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in a single subnet.

The computers can receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server only if the setting “Obtain an IP address automatically” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more information, see the section “IP Settings” from page 102.

Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled

If you would like to give fixed IP addresses to individual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box, despite the fact that the DHCP server is enabled, then you must disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” in this computer’s network settings and enter the fixed IP address manually in the appropriate fields.

Which IP Addresses Can You Assign to the Computers?

The IP addresses must be from the same subnet as FRITZ!Box.

The IP addresses may not come from the address pool of the DHCP server.

If the factory settings are not changed, that means the following IP addresses are available:

192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.19

192,168,178,201 - 192.168.178.253

Each IP address can be assigned only once.

Disabling the DHCP Server

You can switch off the DHCP server.

To make sure that all computers remain in the same subnet as the FRITZ!Box even when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the IP addresses manually in the computer's network settings. First disable the option "Obtain an IP address automatically" and then enter the IP address manually in the appropriate field.

In the case of the preset IP address of the FRITZ!Box, the following IP addresses are available for assignment to the computers:

192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253

Each IP address can be assigned only once.

Changing the DHCP Server Settings

Proceed as follows to open the DHCP server settings:

1. Start a web browser on your computer.
2. Enter fritz.box in the address line of the browser.
3. Select the “Advanced Settings / System” menu in the “Settings” area.
4. Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting by clicking “Apply”.
5. Open the "System / Network Settings" menu.
6. Click the "IP Addresses" button.

The “IP Settings” page is opened. Here you can make the settings for the DHCP server.

3.3 Subnetwork

By default the option “All computers are located in the same IP network” is enabled in the FRITZ!Box.

Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP network	enabled
IP address 192.168.178.1
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP server enabled

If the factory settings were not changed, this setting has the following effect:

The DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box assigns all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box an IP address from the address pool of the DHCP server.

Address pool of the DHCP server 192.168.178.20 - 200

This means that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in the same subnet.

Disabling “All computers are located in the same IP network”

If you switch off the setting “All computers are located in the same IP network”, the interfaces of the FRITZ!Box will receive their own IP addresses.

Factory Settings Upon delivery the interfaces of the FRITZ!Box are configured as follows:

Interface	IP Address	Subnet Mask	DHCP Server
LAN 1 192.168.	178.1 255.255.255.0 enabled
LAN 2	like LAN 1	255.255.255.0	enabled
LAN 3 like LAN	1 255.255.255.0 enabled
LAN 4	like LAN 1	255.255.255.0	enabled
WLAN 192.168.	182.1 255.255.255.0 enabled

Thus the following address pools are available to the DHCP server:

Interface Address Pool of the DHCP Server at the Interface
LAN 1 192.168.178.20 - 200
LAN 2 192.168.178.20 - 200
LAN 3	192.168.178.20 - 200
LAN 4 192.168.178.20 - 200
WLAN 192.168.182.20 - 200

Computers connected with the FRITZ!Box via different interfaces are located in different subnets.

Interface Network Address of the Subnet

LAN 1 192.168.178.0

LAN 2 like LAN 1

LAN 3 like LAN 1

LAN 4 like LAN 1

WLAN 192.168.182.0

Deactivating Proceed as follows to disable the setting “All computers are located in the same IP network”:

1. Open your a web browser on your computer and enter fritz.box in the address line of the browser.
2. Select the “Advanced Settings / System” menu in the “Settings” area.
3. Click "Expert Mode" in the "System" menu, enable the setting "Show expert settings" and confirm this setting by clicking "Apply".
4. Open the "System / Network Settings" menu.
5. Click the "IP Addresses" button.

The “IP Settings” page is opened. Here you can change the setting “All computers are located in the same IP network”.

4 More about Internet Telephony

Voice over IP (VoIP)

Internet telephony has already been in use for years, but today it allows even private customers the convenience familiar from conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower prices.

Internet telephony has also made it considerably more convenient to use applications like conference calls and answering machines in networks. Further advantages include global availability at a single telephone number, and the development of new standards for security and voice quality.

File Transfer All kinds of data transmission in the Internet use the Internet Protocol (IP). IP is packet-oriented. This means that the data are broken down into data packets for transmission and IP takes care of the transport of the individual data packets through the Internet. Language is also transmitted in the Internet in this manner.

In opposition to this, fixed-line telephony transmits data in a line-oriented manner. In this case data are transmitted in a coherent data stream.

4.1 Telephony Scenarios

If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an Internet number in FRITZ!Box, you can make calls in all directions:

from the fixed-line network into the fixed-line network

from the Internet into the fixed-line network

from the Internet into the Internet

and receive calls from all directions as well.

4.2 Bandwidth Management

The FRITZ!Box is equipped with integrated bandwidth management. This function ensures that the speech quality during telephone calls over the Internet is not reduced by surfing activity. To do this, the FRITZ!Box adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Because the FRITZ!Box also places a higher priority on Internet telephony connections over Internet data connections, unwelcome interference is largely avoided. Just as for any other analog call, once Internet telephony transmission capacity has been reached, remote partners receive a busy signal.

6 G l o s s a r y

ADSL abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line

Designates a fast kind of file transfer that works with standard copper cables and transports signals in both directions at different speeds (upstream at 640 Kbit/s and downstream at up to 9 Mbit/s).

ADSL2 abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2

ADSL 2 (G.992.3) is a further development of the ADSL norm (G.992.1/G.992.2).

ADSL2 offers range much greater than did the first ADSL generation, and is significantly more robust than ADSL, as it can simply switch off interference from single carrier frequencies. This feature allows ADSL2 to prevent synchronization losses.

With a throughput rate of up to 12Mbit/s do ADSL2 offers considerably greater bandwidth than ADSL.

ADSL2 is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal equipment compliant with ADSL can also be operated on ADSL2 lines, although the devices cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2.

ADSL2+ abbreviation for extended bandwidth Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2

ADSL2+ (G.992.5) is a further development of the ADSL norm (G.992.1/ G.992.2).

ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for downstream transmission, and thus double the maximum bandwidth achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s.

ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal equipment compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although the devices cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2+.

ADSL-Controller An ADSL-Controller is an electronic hardware assembly that allows a computer to access an ADSL line. ADSL-Controllers are stationary equipment, included on internal ADSL cards (for the PCI bus) or in external ADSL modems (with USB or Ethernet ports).

Alias Alias means different, else and also known as. An alias is often a short, catchy substitute for a long, complicated string of characters, for example, the actual name of the user [e-mail] in place of the string [e-mail]. Here the name J.Smith functions as an alias for 030123456.

Context menu The context menu is a menu that is normally not visible. The context menu opens only when you click a button, a graphic or a word with the right mouse button. Depending on where you clicked, the context menu contains only the most common menu commands for the given object.

Default gateway see gateway

DHCP abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP is a protocol for the dynamic negotiation of the operating parameters for the TCP/IP protocol (TCP is a transport protocol based on the Internet protocol). The computers of a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems' start procedure.

The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP addresses accidentally assigned more than once.

DHCP server The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that is not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP addresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed pool of IP addresses.

DNS abbreviation for Domain Name System

Domain Name Service takes care of determining the IP address for a given domain name. Domain Name Service is running on every computer. It accepts the domain name entered by a user and inquires about the corresponding IP address at a DNS server known to the service. If a DNS server cannot answer the inquiry itself, it can inquire about the IP address (DNS resolution) at other DNS servers.

If the Domain Name Service receives negative information from the DNS server (domain name not known), it can send inquiries to other DNS servers it knows or return a corresponding error message to the user. If it receives the desired IP address instead, the application can use the IP address to retrieve the destination desired by the user.

This hierarchical system of DNS servers is known as the Domain Name System. The addresses of the DNS servers at which the Domain Name Service is to inquire by default generally are handed over to the computer by the Internet Service Provider automatically whenever a connection to the Internet is established. In local networks addresses can also be assigned via DHCP. Otherwise they must be entered manually in the TCP/IP configuration of the PC by the user or the system administrator.

DSL modem A DSL modem connects a computer to the Internet via the DSL line. In contrast to the analog modem, a connection via the DSL modem does not mean that the telephone line is busy.

DSL router A combination of a DSL modem and a router is called a DSL router.

Dynamic DNS abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name System

Dynamic DNS is a service which allows a computer always to be reached under the same domain name despite constantly changing IP addresses. This means that even private users have an economical way of placing their own Internet offers on their computer at home.

It works by transmitting the current IP address to a special DDNS server each time the IP address changes. Except for the few seconds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the notification of the new IP address, the computer can always be reached at the selected domain name.

Dynamic IP address

A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the duration of one Internet or network session.

Every computer participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. Since only a limited number of such IP addresses is available, they must be used sparingly. That is why most of the Internet participants who dial in to the Internet receive a dynamic IP address. They are called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time he or she dials in to the Internet.

By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because using them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments. The DHCP service is responsible for assigning unique dynamic IP addresses.

FAQ abbreviation for Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs are collections with answers to frequently asked questions on a certain subject area.

Firewall A firewall protects a computer or local network against attacks from the Internet.

Most firewalls work with packet filters, which merely check the IP addresses and port numbers of incoming and outgoing data packets and filter the packets according to prescribed rules.

Some firewalls also integrate additional concepts like IP masquerading and NAT to decouple data traffic by distinguishing strictly between the internal and external network.

Especially effective firewalls go even further, analyzing and evaluating the contents of the packets and filtering them according to prescribed rules. Such techniques are included in a Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall, for instance.

Firmware The firmware is saved in programmable components within a device. Through the possibility of updating the firmware by computer at any time, manufacturers enjoy great flexibility in reacting to the demands of the operational environment, integrating new functions requested by customers, and eliminating errors discovered after production.

Fixed IP address Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses which are permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a network printer.

Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a local network has a sufficiently large pool of IP addresses available, or when a computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address (such as a web server or an e-mail server).

FTP abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol

The File Transfer Protocol allows files to be exchanged between two computers operating in the Internet. Data exchange takes place via an FTP server and what is known as an FTP client. The more convenient FTP clients are available as stand-alone software or are components of some ISDN data transfer software; simple FTP clients are now included in many web browsers.

Gateway Gateway is a general term designating an interface between two computer networks. Such a network interface can be realized using a router or a bridge, for instance.

If a computer wants to transfer data packets to a computer in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gateway. To do this, the computer must know the address of the gateway.

If all packets that cannot be delivered in a local network always are to be transmitted to their given recipients via the same gateway, for this purpose the address of the gateway must be saved as the default gateway in the network configuration of the computer.

Such a default gateway for the computer is negotiated automatically by the operating system or the dialing software whenever an ISDN-Controller or DSL-Controller establishes a connection to the Internet. If a router is used for the shared Internet access in a local network, the IP address of the router must be entered as the default gateway in the TCP/IP configuration of each computer that wishes to use the Internet connection. If the TCP/IP configuration is performed by means of a DHCP server, there is no need to enter the gateway address manually.

IP abbreviation for Internet Protocol

The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.

IP address abbreviation for Internet Protocol address

In IP-based networks, for instance in the Internet and local networks, all connected devices are addressed via their IP addresses. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the Internet or a local IP network.

The IP address consists of four three-digit groups of numbers (for instance, 192.168.178.247). Each group of numbers can assume values between 000 and 255.

Every IP address contains two components: the network address and the host address. These two components can be read out of an IP address only if the subnet mask is also specified.

IP addresses can be public or private, and also fixed or assigned dynamically. See the corresponding entries in the glossary for more information.

IP addressing Addressing is one of the main functions of the Internet Protocol (IP). Internet addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadecimal notation. The FRITZ!Box uses “dotted-decimal” notation: The four bytes of an address are represented by decimal numbers separated by dots. The total volume of Internet addresses, the address space, is separated into classes (A, B, C, D, and E). The full set of IP addresses, called the address space, is grouped into address classes designated as A, B, C, D and E. Only the first three of these five address classes are actually used. These classes can be described as follows:

Classes Properties	Network Address,	Decimal Value
Class A address	Few networks, many hubs o-127
Class B address	Intermediate distribution of networks and hubs	128-191
Class C address	Many networks, few hubs 192-223

Properties of IP Address Classes

Every IP address consists of two parts: the network address and the host address. The sizes of the network address and the host address are variable, and determined by the first four bits (of the first byte) of the IP address.

IP masquerading By means of IP masquerading a computer or LAN can be protected from unauthorized connection request from the Internet. Masquerading works by converting the IP addresses used in a network to one public IP address. From the outside it appears that all requests are sent from a single computer.

IP network A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of the Internet Protocol is called an IP network.

Port So that a single network connection on a connection can be used by multiple applications to exchange data with remote sites at the same time, a computer administers what are known as ports for the IP-based protocols TCP and UDP. Ports substantiate the point of access for the data packets delivered via the IP Internet protocol. While the IP address determines the destination computer quite generally, the port addresses the communication interface provided by an application for a certain communication procedure.

The Internet protocol allots 16 bits for the specification of the port number. Thus a total of 65,535 different port numbers can be specified. Ports up to port number 1,024 are reserved for special system applications and typical Internet applications. These include, for instance, the port numbers 21 for FTP (File Transfer Protocol), 25 for SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), 53 for DNS (Domain Name Service) and 80 for HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).

Ports are primarily of interest to users for their role in protecting an Internet connection from external attacks. Most firewalls offer the possibility of preventing data traffic on certain ports. This means that certain port numbers can be blocked to prevent data from being delivered to system services. This is also a way of preventing any Trojans (malicious applications opening backdoors on a computer) that may have infected your computer from receiving data ports it created as means of accessing your computer for potentially damaging activities. A firewall blocks most atypical port numbers not required for normal operation of an application and offers specialized users the opportunity to forward specified ports.

Port forwarding With port forwarding it is possible to specify ports that will allow all incoming or outgoing data packets to pass through a router or firewall.

If a computer from the local network offers server services, for instance, the configuration of a router using NAT or IP masquerading must forward the port used by the server

service for access to incoming data packets and thus keep it open permanently. The private IP address of the given computer must be saved as the destination address for all of the packets arriving at the port.

Typical server applications which require port forwarding are FTP and Web servers. To allow access to a computer via remote management software like Symantec's pcAnywhere or Microsoft's Remote Desktop, or even use of a file-sharing program like eDonkey, the required ports must be released for port forwarding. Port forwarding settings for the most important application cases are quite simple as long as the settings of the router or the firewall already contain rules with a corresponding preconfiguration.

Private IP address

Private IP addresses are used for computers and other network devices within local IP networks.

Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Internet except via single computers or routers (gateway), certain address ranges are excluded from the publicly available IP addresses so that they are available for assignment in local IP networks. An IP address may only be assigned once within the local network. A private IP address may exist in any number of other local networks.

Public IP address

A public IP address is an IP address valid in the Internet. Every computer or router participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. This address is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet Service Provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The Internet Service Provider assigns the negotiated IP address to the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session.

Subnetwork A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks is performed when the local IP network is configured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks.

Subnet mask The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is the network address and which the address of the computer. The network address defines what is called the subnet.

Example 1
IP address: 192.168.178.247
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the sub-net mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:
Network address of the subnet: 192.168.178.0
Address of the computer in the subnet:	192.168.178.247
IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.178.0 - 192.168.178.255The IP addresses 192.168.178.0 and 192.168.178.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.178.1 to 192.168.178.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

Example 2
IP address: 192.,168.178.247
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
The assignment of the first two groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first two groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:
Network address of the subnet:	192.168.0.0
Address of the computer in the subnet:	192,168,178,247
IP address pool in the subnet:	192.168.0.0 - 192,168,255,255The IP addresses 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

TCP/IP abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol

TCP/IP is the “language” of the Internet. TCP/IP is used to refer to a suite of protocols used for data communication over the Internet. TCP and IP are the network and transport protocols underlying most Internet services, including file transfer (FTP) and e-mail communication (SMTP). TCP/IP is available for practically all computer systems. TCP/IP thus offers the advantage of trouble-free communication between otherwise incompatible networks and systems.

TR-069 T-069 is an HTTP-based protocol for communication between CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and an Auto Configuration Server (ACS) belonging to the Internet Service Provider. The TR-069 protocol is also known under the alternative name CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It offers the possibility of secure automatic configuration of the terminal device and thus, most importantly, facilitates simple initial configuration of the ADSL terminal equipment by the end customer.

The TR-069 protocol can be used for automatic configuration only if it is actively supported by the given terminal device. For this an Auto Configuration Client (ACC) must be integrated in the device. The specifications for automatic configuration of the ADSL terminal device are stored on the Auto Configuration Server by the given Internet Service

Provider. The process of automatic configuration via TR-069 is initiated by the ADSL terminal device. First the user enters a security key and then the settings are retrieved from the Auto Configuration Server and implemented in the ADSL terminal device without any further interaction with the user. During this process all of the communication between the ADSL terminal device and the Auto Configuration Server takes place in encrypted form.

Traffic shaping Traffic shaping is a technology for the optimization of capacity loads in a communication connection. Especially for asymmetrical DSL connections, using traffic shaping can prevent that a download is delayed or blocked by high upload traffic.

Data transfer in the Internet is generally TCP/IP protocol, which waits for the remote site to confirm reception after sending one or more data packets. Additional data packets are not sent until this confirmation of reception arrives. If no confirmation arrives over a longer period of time, the non-confirmed data packets are transmitted again. The dispatch of such a confirmation can be delayed, for instance, because the bandwidth for transfer (upload) is already being used by the data packets of other applications. But since the remote site does not signal the reception of the expected confirmation packets until after they have arrived, this could cause noticeable delays in rendering a requested web site or a drop in the throughput rate of a download. In the worst-case scenario, the remote site will abort transmission after several apparently unsuccessful attempts to transfer the data packets. Typical causes for such a blockade situation include sending an e-mail message or the use of a program for private data exchange (also known as file sharing or peer-to-peer software).

Through traffic shaping these delays are avoided by providing the dispatch of confirmation packets with bandwidth suitable for the given download activities. All of the packets to be sent are also assigned a priority suitable packet types.

Update A more recent version of software or firmware is called an update. Updates are often free of charge, resolve minor programming errors, and sometimes also offer new functions.

Upload This term designates the procedure of transmitting files from one's own computer to another computer in the Internet.

UPnP abbreviation for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP is an extension of the Microsoft Plug & Play standard that allows devices to network globally and to exchange services—without a central server or computer.

UPnP allows devices from all kinds of manufacturers (stereo systems, routers, printers, house controls) to be controlled via an IP-based network, with or without central control through a gateway. It is based on a number of standardized network protocols and data formats. Expressed simplistically, devices can communicate with each other using UPnP to exchange information.

Today the UPnP forum specifies the UPnP standard and certifies devices that are compliant with the standard.

VoIP abbreviation for Voice over IP, also known as Internet telephony

Voice over IP makes telephone calls possible via the Internet. The technology has already been in use for years, but today it allows even private customers the convenience familiar from conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower prices. VoIP has also made it considerably more convenient to use applications like conference calls and answering machines in networks. Added to this are global accessibility under a single telephone number and new VoIP features like the Buddy List known from chat rooms.

Internet telephony used to be possible only with a headset connected to the computers of the callers and their conversation partners. Today voice connections via the Internet, even to fixed-line and mobile networks, can be conducted conveniently using VoIP telephone systems that allow

already existing analog telephones to be used even when the computer is switched off. Various Internet Service Providers and telephony carriers provide SIP fixed-line gateways for this purpose. Such a gateway is used to produce voice connections between the Internet and conventional telephone networks. In principle VoIP conversations are possible via every DSL line, but for convenient use with existing terminal equipment, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile networks, it is important that the DSL provider support what is known as the SIP standard. SIP is the current standard defined for VoIP by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

WLAN abbreviation for Wireless LAN, or Wireless Local Area Network

The term WLAN designates the industry standard for wireless local networks passed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997 under the title IEEE 802.11.

By means of WLAN technology, individual computers or network devices like printers or DSL access points can be linked wirelessly to an existing cable-connected local network (LAN), or LANs can be converted completely to a wireless structure. A further useful purpose for WLAN technology is to link segments of existing cable-connected networks.

Although WLAN was actually developed only for short-range connections, by cascading WLAN access points or implementing transmission networks with high-power point-to-point radio transmission, even network segments located further from each other can be linked or network participants in relatively remote locations can be economically and easily integrated into an existing network.

WLAN access points often also serve as access points to the Internet in private or public institutions. Many airports, hotels and cafes, for instance, make WLAN hotspots available to their customers, either free or subject to a charge. Ultimately this has maneuvered WLAN into serious competition with mobile UMTS technology.

The application possibilities for wireless network communication also overlap with Bluetooth technology. For mobile devices with very low power consumption Bluetooth is the more useful solution, however, as Bluetooth uses considerably less power than wireless LAN. What is more, Bluetooth technology is more flexible and thus offers a greater bandwidth of potential applications.
