4 Configuring Internet Connections

There are two different ways for FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to connect to the Internet. In both cases you need account information from an Internet Service Provider:

- The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN establishes the connection with the Internet and makes it available to all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. In this mode the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN functions as a DSL router.

For information about how to configure FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN for this operating mode, see the section "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL Router" from page 27.

- The computers connected to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN establish the Internet connections themselves. In this case FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN works like a DSL modem and is responsible only for forwarding data.

How to configure the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and the computers connected with it for this operating mode is described in the section “FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL Modem” from page 29.

4.1 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL Router

So that the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN can establish the Internet connection itself, an Internet connection must be configured with the account information from your Internet Service Provider in the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. All connected computers can then use this Internet connection at the same time. It is not necessary to install any additional Internet access software on the other connected computers.

In this mode FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN works like a DSL router and uses the Internet Service Provider's account information.

Configuring an Internet Connection in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN

To configure the Internet connection, enter the Internet account data from your Internet Service Provider in the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Have the Internet access information you received from your Internet Service Provider handy.
2. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface and select the "Internet / Account Information" menu.
3. Select the setting "Use account data (FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router)" if this setting is not already configured.
4. Enter the account data you received in the appropriate fields.
5. Click the "Apply" button to transmit your entries to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN.

The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is now configured as a DSL router and all connected computers can use the Internet access at the same time.

Use the “Clear Internet connection automatically” function if your Internet connection is charged for online time. This function clears an idle connection after the period specified here.

Establishing the Internet Connection

No further steps are necessary to establish an Internet connection. Simply start an Internet browser on any of the computers connected to FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and start surfing the Net.

Make sure FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN automatically assigns IP addresses to all computers that are supposed to use this Internet connection. For instructions, see the section "IP Settings" from page 72.

4.2 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL Modem

For the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN to be able to establish their Internet connections themselves and use the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL modem, two prerequisites must be fulfilled:

• FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is configured as a DSL modem.
• An Internet connection must be configured on each computer, using the Internet access software and the account information from an Internet Service Provider.

If your Internet Service Provider supplies its own access software, you can use this software for your computers.

It is generally not permitted to establish more than one Internet connection at a time using the same account information from an Internet Service Provider.

A separate Internet connection must be set up on each computer if all connected computers are to be allowed Internet access at the same time. This means that you need separate account information for each computer. Each computer then establishes its own Internet connection, subject to its own charges.

If you connected multiple computers with FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and would like to allow Internet access for all of them, it is advisable to operate FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL router.

Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a DSL Modem

1. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface and select the "Internet / Account Information" menu.
2. Disable the setting "Use account data (FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router)".
3. Click the "Apply" button to transmit the setting to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN.

Now the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN can be used as a DSL modem by all of the computers connected to it.

Configuring an Internet Connection on a Computer

1. Have the Internet access information you received from your Internet Service Provider handy.
2. Install the Internet access software on the computer.
3. Start the Internet access software and enter the account data.

Establishing Internet Connections

Use the Internet access software to establish a connection to your Internet Service Provider. As soon as the connection is established, you can start an Internet browser on your computer and surf the Internet.

5.3 Configuring Analog Equipment

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is configured so that you can make calls to the analog network immediately after connecting analog terminal devices, without any additional settings required.

The following settings are preconfigured on the analog lines "FON 1" and "FON 2":

• calls can be accepted on both lines: connected terminal devices will ring at the same time
• outgoing calls can be conducted on both lines

If the connected terminal devices are to react only to certain numbers, numbers must be assigned to the extensions. The number defined as “Number of the extension” also defines whether calls from this extension will be conducted using the fixed-line network or the Internet.

To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Start a web browser.
2. Enter "fritz.box" in the address field.
3. Click the “Extensions” command in the “Telephony” menu.
4. In the “Analog Extensions” area, click the “Change Settings” button next to the number of the extension.
5. Select a number from the "Number of the extension" drop-down menu in the "Extension FON 1" area.

The terminal device connected to the “FON 1” extension reacts to incoming calls placed to this number and uses the kind of connection specified for outgoing connections with this number.

1. If you would like to assign additional numbers to the extension, select from the “Additional numbers” dropdown menus any other numbers the terminal device at the “FON 1” line should react to for incoming calls.

2. Click the "Apply" button.

3. Configure the "Extension FON 2" if necessary.

5.4 Dialing Rules for Internet and Fixed-Line Telephony

Dialing rules specify when calls are conducted on the fixed-line network, and when they take place over the Internet.

Perform the following steps to define dialing rules:

1. Start a web browser.
2. Enter "fritz.box" in the address field.
3. Click the “Dialing Rules” command in the “Telephony” menu.
4. In the “Dialing Rules” area you can define the kind of connection for ranges of numbers.

All connections to number ranges for which a dialing rule has been defined are established using the specified connection type.

1. Click the "New Dialing Rule" button to define as many dialing rules as desired.

2. Click the "Apply" button.

5.5 Selecting the Type of Connection Manually

If you would like to use a certain kind of connection (Internet or fixed-line) for a call, dial the following keys on the telephone keypad before the number:

Fixed-line Connections

111\# establishes a fixed-line connection

Internet Connections

12\# establishes an Internet connection. The Internet number used is the Internet number set for line 1.

12P\# establishes an Internet connection for a selected Internet number. For “P”, enter the position of the Internet number in the “List of Internet Numbers”.

5.6 How Does Internet Telephony Work?

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.

For packet-oriented transmission in the Internet, the loss of packets cannot be ruled out completely. Under unfavorable conditions this can lead to speech quality in Internet telephony that is inferior to that in fixed-line telephony.

Telephony Scenarios

If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an Internet number in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, 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.

Bandwidth Management with FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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. FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Because FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN also places a higher priority on Internet telephony connections over Internet data connections, unwelcome interference is largely avoided. However, this is also true for Internet telephony: once the conversation capacity has been reached, the remote site will receive a busy signal.

6 FRITZ!DSL: The Software Suite

The FRITZ!DSL software suite is included in your FRITZ!Box Fon package. The software includes a number of programs and tools we will introduce briefly in this chapter.

Once you have installed FRITZ!DSL, the "Start Center" icon appears on your desktop. All of the programs in the FRITZ!DSL software suite can be started from the FRITZ!DSL Start Center.

Use with FRITZ!Box Fon Configured as a DSL Router

If FRITZ!DSL Internet is used in combination with a router, the program displays the connection status, provides information about the course of data transmissions, and allows the Internet connection of FRITZ!Box Fon to be established or cleared from the computer.

FRITZ!Box Fon takes care of dialing into the Internet, firewall protection from unauthorized incoming connections, and keeping track of transmission volume and online time. The FRITZ!DSL Protect program can also be implemented to provide added protection against unauthorized connections to the Internet.

Use with FRITZ!Box Fon Configured as a DSL Modem

FRITZ!DSL Internet makes surfing convenient and secure. The Short-Hold Mode with its automatic idle timeout ensures that the Internet connection is cleared as soon as no new access to Internet pages is requested for the specified amount of time. When you do request new data, FRITZ!DSL Internet establishes a new connection in the background within seconds so that you can continue surfing. This saves connection charges. The integrated traffic shaping optimizes DSL transmission, allowing full DSL speed to be exploited even when uploading and downloading data at the same time.

To protect your computer from attacks from the Internet, FRITZ!DSL Internet is equipped with firewall functions. This protects your computer from unauthorized access, even when the computer is online for long periods of time. The

FRITZ!DSL Protect program can also be implemented to provide added protection against unauthorized connections to the Internet.

6.2 FRITZ!DSL Protect

FRITZ!DSL Protect protects your PC from unwanted Internet connections. You can specify or prohibit Internet access for each program individually. If an unknown program attempts to establish and Internet connection, you will be asked whether you wish to allow such a connection.

An overview shows the programs already set up in FRITZ!DSL Protect along with their access rights. A Journal grants you an overview of all successful and rejected attempts to access the Internet.

One of the most convenient functions offered by FRITZ!DSL Protect works in combination with the UPnP capability of the FRITZ!Box. If you have enabled the option “Allow changes to security settings over UPnP” in the FRITZ!Box, FRITZ!DSL Protect can release ports for incoming connections on the FRITZ!Box whenever they are needed by programs. For this capability you must activate the “Use Port Forwarding” option in the “Settings” of FRITZ!DSL Protect. This means you can participate in online activities like gaming without having to reconfigure the FRITZ!Box firewall manually.

8 WLAN: Wireless Local Area Networks

WLAN 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. A notebook and a WLAN adapter is all you need for an Internet connection at locations with public WLAN access points, for instance at airports.

8.1 Standards

The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).

IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g

The two standards IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g define the transmission rate within a wireless LAN. These standards differentiate between gross and net transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission rate of the user data.

• A transmission rate of up to 11 Mbit/s can be attained using 802.11b technology.
• With 802.11g technology, gross transmission rates of up to 54 Mbit/s are possible. The net rate can reach up to 25 Mbit/s.

The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN supports both standards. WLAN adapters based on either of these standards can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN.

The range within a given WLAN depends to a high degree on the WLAN adapter used as well as the physical surroundings of the network.

802.11g++

The transmission rate within a wireless LAN can be boosted with the 802.11g++ standard. Gross rates of up to 125 Mbit/s are possible; net transmission rates can reach up to 35 Mbit/s.

IEEE 802.11i

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

The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-CCM encryption process.

• The WPA mechanism stipulates the TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) for encryption.
• Besides TKIP, the WPA2 mechanism also defines the AES-CCM encryption procedure, which is based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) defines how the AES procedure is applied to WLAN packets.

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN can be used in combination with any WLAN adapters that also support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.

8.2 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 Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN 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 d mined to serve for the encryption of the user data. The key must also be entered in the WLAN settings of the WLAN clients.

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

Select an encryption method to be used to encrypt the user data:

TKIP or AES, depending on which is 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.

In the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN a WPA encryption with the TKIP encryption method is preconfigured. It is advisable to change the preconfigured WLAN settings as soon as possible. Changes to the settings can be configured on the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface.

The encryption method you set in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN must also be supported by your WLAN adapter. To configure the best security settings possible with FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and your WLAN adapter, please note the following recommendations:

• Your WLAN adapter supports WPA2 (i.e., it supports the 802.11i standard):
  Select the WPA mechanism and the AES encryption procedure.
• Your WLAN adapter supports the WPA mechanism, but not the WPA2 mechanism:
  Select the WPA mechanism and the TKIP encryption method, and replace the WPA network key preconfigured in FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN with your own key value.
• Your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2 mechanism:
  Select the WEP mechanism.

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

WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID)

The factory settings of FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN include a value of "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7140" preset for the SSID (Service Set Identifier). Change the SSID as soon as possible.

8.3 Frequency Range

WLAN uses the frequency range around 2.4 GHz in the ISM band. WLAN thus works in the high-frequency range, like Bluetooth. Microwave devices and cordless telephones use this range as well. Thus interference can 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 Europe, 13 channels are provided for WLAN in the 2.4 GHz range. One channel has a bandwidth of 22 MHz. A 5-MHz interval is left empty between adjacent channels. That means that channels located directly next to each other can overlap and result in mutual interference. If several WLANs are operated within a small space, a distance of at least 5 channels should be left empty between each two channels used. For instance, if channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 7 through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.

Should interference in a WLAN persist, the first step should be to select a different channel. Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are presented in the section “Eliminating Disturbances caused by Another WLAN Radio Network” from page 70.

WLAN channels in the 2.4 GHz range:

Channel	Frequency (MHz)		Channel	Frequency (MHz)
1 2412 8 2447
2	2	4	1	7
3	2422		10	2457
4	2	4	2	7	1
5	2432		12	2467
6	2437		13	2472
7	2442

9 Network Settings

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

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

According to these settings, all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN are located in the same subnetwork.

You can change any of these settings, but should only do so if you are well-versed in network settings. If you do not have much experience in setting up networks, please read this chapter in full.

• The “Basics” section explains terms and concepts having to do with IP networks.
• The sections “IP Address”, “DHCP Server” and “Subnetwork” 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.

9.1 Basics

What Is IP?

IP is the 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 Network

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

What Is an IP Address?

The term IP address is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol address.

The IP address corresponds to the “postal” address of a device located in the Internet or in a local IP network. 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 numerals (e.g. 192.168.178.254). 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.

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 public IP address. This address is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The Internet provider assigns the negotiated IP address to the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session.

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.

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 e-mail server).

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.

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: 192.168.178.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the subnet 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:	192.168.178.254
IP address pool in the sub-net:	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 com-puters.
Example 2
IP Address: 192.168.178.254
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 (subnet): 192.168.0.0
Address of the computer in the subnet:	192.168.178.254
IP address pool in the sub-net:	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 com-puters.

What Is DHCP?

DHCP is the 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 DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that it has 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.

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

9.2 IP Address

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

Factory Settings
All computers are located in the same IP net-enabled work
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?

You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN to the subnet in order to make the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN features available to all of the computers in the subnet.

What IP Address Must You Assign for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN user interface after entering the IP address, see the information in the section “Open the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN User Interface via a LAN Connection” from page 68.

Reserved IP Addresses

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

192.168.180.1 - 192.168.180.254

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

How Can the IP Address Be Changed?

1. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface (see the section "Opening the User Interface" on page 26.
2. Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting by clicking “Apply”.
3. Open the "System / Network Settings" menu.

4. Click the "IP Addresses" button.

5. Make the changes on the "IP Settings" page and then click "Apply".

9.3 DHCP Server

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN 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 net-work	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 computers 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 Fon WLAN, 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 Fon WLAN 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 72.

Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled

If you would like to assign fixed IP addresses to individual computers connected with FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, 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.

Which IP Addresses Can You Assign to the Computers?

• The IP addresses must be from the same subnet as FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN.
• 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 Fon WLAN even when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the IP addresses manually in the computers' 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 Fon WLAN, 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. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN user interface (see the section "Opening the User Interface" on page 26.
2. Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting by clicking “Apply”.

12 Configuration and Operation by Telephone

Many of the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN functions and features can be configured and used over a telephone connected to a FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 an acknowledgement tone. Entries made correctly are confirmed with a positive acknowledgement tone (a single tone of one second in length). An error, such as an incorrequence, is indicated by a failure tone, an intermittent tone at intervals of about 0.25 seconds.

For more information on the audible signals, see the section “Audible Signals” on page 116.

Call Diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN

Incoming calls to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN telephones can be diverted to a different extension or to an external number. In contrast to call diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, there is also call forwarding (call diversion via the central exchange). How to use call forwarding by phone is described in the section “Call Forwarding (Call Diversion via the Central Exchange)” from page 98.

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

Call diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN allows you to forward calls to an external line or to another extension. This kind of diversion is organized inside FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 Fon WLAN is operated on an analog telephone line, incoming calls can only be diverted to a different extension or to numerical Internet numbers.

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

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

Call Forwarding (Call Diversion via the Central Exchange)

Call forwarding is performed by the ISDN operator's switching station. To use call forwarding, FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 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 for forwarding calls to an Internet number.

In addition to call forwarding, there is also call diversion via FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. Use this kind of call diversion to divert calls to internal and external lines. See the section “Call Diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN” from page 94 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.

If ECT has not been enabled on your line, you can program the PBX to initiate a one-time explicit call transfer before connecting to two parties. When you end the connection, the other two parties will be connected to each other. Proceed as follows:

↑	Pick up the handset.
*32#	Dial the sequence shown at left. You hear the external dial tone.
#	Dial the external number of the first party. Talk.
R	Press the Hold button.
#	To dial a second call, simply dial either the desired extension number or the outside line access “o” followed by the desired external number. You can now talk to the second subscriber while your first call is on hold.
	To clear your connections while allowing the external parties to continue the call, connect the parties with each other.
R4	Dial the sequence shown at left. The connection on hold and the active connection are connected with each other. The external parties continue the call while you clear the connection.
T	Hang up the handset.

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

ISDN

Call-back on Busy (CCBS)

When you dial a number and it is busy, enable this feature.

As soon as the line is free, your telep 20 seconds, as it would for an external call. When you pick up your handset, the number of desired party will be dialed automatically.

This feature is supported for both external and internal connections.

A maximum of five call-back requests can be enabled for each extension at any given time.

To enable this feature, proceed as follows:

	You have just dialed a number and now you hear the busy signal.
5	If the call is not answered, within twenty seconds, either dial the number “5” or
R*37#	the sequence shown at left.
	Wait for the acknowledgement tone.
	Hang up the handset.
	As soon as the subscriber you dialed hangs up, your telephone will ring.
	Pick up the handset. The subscriber’s number is dialed again automatically.

ISDN

Call-back on no Response (CCNR)

This function can be used when you dial a number and the party does not respond. Once the party can be reached again and conducts a call from her or his phone, this function recognizes when this conversation is ended. When the subscriber you dialed hangs up, your telephone rings for 20 seconds, as it would for an incoming call. When you pick up your handset, the number of the desired party is automatically dialed again.

This feature is supported for both external and internal connections.

This command can be activated five times for each port.

To enable this feature, proceed as follows:

	You have just dialed a number and hear a ring tone.
5	If the call is not answered, within twenty seconds,either dial the number “5”or

R*37# the sequence shown at left.

	Wait for the acknowledgement tone.
	Hang up the handset. As soon as the party you dialed conducts a conversation from her or his phone and this call is ended, your phone rings.
	Pick up the handset. The number of the remote party is dialed automatically.

Callback requests can also be deleted manually, with the oldest callback request being deleted first.

➊	Pick up the handset.
#37#	Dial the sequence shown at left.
➇	Hang up the handset.

ISDN

Suspend/Resume

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 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN.

To suspend a call, proceed as follows:

J	You are talking to Caller 1.
R	Press the Hold button. Call 1 is now suspended.
★1PC★	Dial the sequence shown at left. Type in the parked-call ID as “PC”. The parked-call ID can be any number between o and 99. You will need to enter this ID again when you resume the call.

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.

+++	After the acknowledgement tone, the connection is suspended. You can hang up the handset. The call remains suspended at the ISDN provider’s local switch for two minutes.
T

To resume the connection, proceed as follows:

✝	Pick up the handset again. (You may not have a call on hold. Otherwise, FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN will attempt to suspend it.)
✝1PC✝	Dial the sequence shown at left. Type in the parked-call ID as “PC”. The parked-call ID is the number you entered when you suspended the call.

ISDN

Call Tracing (MCID)

During a call or after the caller hangs up, dial the following sequence:

R*39# Dial the sequence shown at left.

For more information about this feature, contact your ISDN provider.

ISDN

Using Keypad Messages

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN offers the “keypad” function. This function allows ISDN services and features to be controlled entering characters and strings on the telephone keypad. These keyboard entries are called keypad messages. Keypad sequences allow you to use ISDN services and features that may not be supported by your ISDN terminal device.

Ask your ISDN provider for the specific keypad messages to access ISDN features.

Entering Keypad Messages on an Extension with Automatic Outside Dialing

Pick up the handset.

Seq Dial the sequence shown at left. “Seq” stands for the keypad sequence you received from your ISDN provider.

Entering Keypad Messages on an Extension without Automatic Outside Dialing

Pick up the handset.

Seq Dial the sequence shown at left. "Seq" stands for the keypad sequence you received from your ISDN provider.
