Making Telephone Calls

Making Telephone Calls
Once you have set up your telephones, you can make outgo-
ing telephone calls to the public network and accept incom-
ing calls.
A telephone places outgoing calls using the telephone num-
ber you defined for outgoing calls while setting up the tele-
phone (see
page 45
).
For incoming calls a telephone reacts only to calls to those
telephone numbers you assigned to the telephone during set-
up (see
page 45
).

Firmware Update: Updating the FRITZ!Box Software
AVM provides updates of the firmware for the FRITZ!Box for free down-
loading over the Internet. The firmware is the software stored in the
FRITZ!Box that controls all of the FRITZ!Box functions.
Firmware updates contain further developments of existing FRITZ!Box
functions and often also introduce new functions for your FRITZ!Box.
Finding New Firmware and Transferring It to the FRITZ!Box
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Click “Wizards” in the menu and start the “Update Firm-
ware” wizard.
The Wizard checks whether new firmware is available for
your FRITZ!Box.
If the Wizard finds new firmware, it displays the version
number of the firmware. Click the link under the firm-
ware version to view information about further develop-
ments and new functions contained in the firmware up-
date. Read this information before starting the firmware
update.
3.
To transfer new firmware to the FRITZ!Box, click “Start
Firmware Update Now”.
The firmware update begins and the “Info” LED on the
FRITZ!Box starts flashing.
The firmware update is complete when the Info LED stops
flashing.
Do not interrupt the power supply to the FRITZ!Box dur-
ing the firmware update!

FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router

FRITZ!Box as an Internet Router
The FRITZ!Box connects computers in your home network with the In-
ternet. This chapter explains the possibilities offered by using the
FRITZ!Box as an Internet router and how to take advantage of them.
10.1
Child Protection: Restricting Internet Access
The child protection feature allows you to define access rules
for Internet access specified for individual computers or Win-
dows users. These access rules may include restrictions of In-
ternet access time, filter listes and a list with blocked network
applications:
•
Restrict Internet access time: Using the time restriction
you can restrict the amount of time the user can surf the
web. You can define on which days of the week, at what
times of day, and for how long a computer or Windows
user is allowed to use the Internet connection.
•
Block or permit web sites: You can use filters to define
which Internet pages are allowed to be accessed and to
which access is blocked. For instance, you can block all
Internet pages the government has defined as offensive
or harmful to minors.
You can create both filter lists, the whitelist and the
blacklist. A whitelist contains all Internet pages to which
access is allowed. A blacklist contains all Internet pages
to which access is blocked.
•
Block network applications: You can list network appli-
cations for which Internet access should be blocked. For
instance, you can block Internet access for file-sharing
software.
Child protection can be enabled for each computer individu-
ally, regardless of the computer’s operating system.
You can also enable child protection individually in all Win-
dows operating systems (Windows 7, Windows Vista and
Windows XP). This option is very beneficial if a computer is
used by multiple users.

Setting Up Child Protection in the FRITZ!Box
The child protection feature is available only if you have set
up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and established
an Internet connection. Child protection is
not
available if you
have configured the FRITZ!Box as a DSL modem or IP client.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Select the “Internet / Filters” menu.
3.
Set up the child protection feature, making use of the
Online Help in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
10.2
Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the
Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For a
number of applications like online games and file sharing
software, you have to make your computer accessible for oth-
er Internet users. In order to grant controlled access to your
computer to other Internet users, you release certain ports for
incoming connections. The ports serve to distinguish be-
tween running applications on a computer that has only one
IP address.
Setting Up Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
•
Port forwarding is set up in the “Internet / Permit Ac-
cess” menu.
•
Port forwarding for IPv6 is also set up in the “Internet /
Permit Access” menu, on the “IPv6” page. To see this
page, make sure you enabled the expert mode in the
“System / Expert Mode” menu.
Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled the ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box,
other users can access your computer at the IP address as-
signed to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet Service Provider. This
is a public IP address.

Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Here is how to determine the public IP address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Enable the expert settings in the “System / Expert
Mode” menu.
3.
Open any Internet page in order to establish an Internet
connection.
4.
The FRITZ!Box’s public IP address is displayed in the
“Overview” menu in the “Connections” area.
10.3
Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address
Dynamic DNS is an Internet service that makes it possible for
the FRITZ!Box to remain accessible from the Internet at all
times under a fixed name, even though the public IP address
changes.
You must register with a dynamic DNS provider to use this
service. When you register, you agree on the fixed name (do-
main name) at which your FRITZ!Box should be accessible
from the Internet. You also define a user name and password.
Every time the IP address changes, the FRITZ!Box transmits
the new IP address to the dynamic DNS provider in the form of
an update request. Then the domain name is assigned to the
current IP address by the dynamic DNS provider.
Setting Up Dynamic DNS in the FRITZ!Box
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “Sys-
tem / Expert Mode” menu.
3.
Select the “Internet / Permit Access” menu.
Every time the Internet connection is interrupted the Internet
Service Provider re-assigns the IP address. The IP address
may change in the process. Therefore it is a good idea to use
dynamic DNS so that the IP address can always be reached
under the same name. For more information, see the section
Dynamic DNS: Name Instead of IP Address on page 50
.
