Getting to Know FRITZ!Box

This chapter gives you an overview of the features and functions of

your FRITZ!Box 7360 and describes ports, buttons and LEDs.

1.1

FRITZ!Box at a Glance

Access to the Internet

The FRITZ!Box connects multiple computers fast and safely

with the Internet. Other network-compatible devices like

smartphones and game consoles can use the FRITZ!Box for

their Internet connection.

For fast Internet connections a VDSL and ADSL modem is inte-

grated into the FRITZ!Box. A preconfigured firewall protects

your network from attacks from the Internet.

The FRITZ!Box also offers a variety of functions to control ac-

cess to the Internet as well as access from the Internet. The

“Internet filter” feature allows you to restrict access to the In-

ternet for individual Windows users or computers, for in-

stance for you children’s computers. With the integrated VPN

server you can link remote computers securely with the home

network of the FRITZ!Box over the Internet.

WLAN Base Station for Wireless Connections

Computers and other network devices that support WLAN can

be connected wirelessly with the FRITZ!Box. If no WLAN de-

vice is integrated in your computer, you can install an external

WLAN adapter like a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick by AVM (see also

AVM Products for the FRITZ!Box from page 146

).

The FRITZ!Box supports the fast WLAN N standard, which pro-

vides for data throughput of up to 300 Mbit/s (gross).

With the “guest access” feature you can grant friends and vis-

itors fast, secure access to the Internet over your wireless net-

work.

FRITZ!Box at a Glance

Telephone System (PBX)

The FRITZ!Box is a telephone system (PBX: private branch ex-

change) for the Internet and fixed-network telephone line.

The PBX is also equipped with up to five integrated answering

machines and one integrated fax machine for fax reception.

You do not need any more additional devices for these func-

tions. For up to five different telephone numbers in the

FRITZ!Box you can configure a separate answering machine.

The FRITZ!Box can be configured to forward new messages on

an answering machine and new faxes automatically by e-

mail.

The FRITZ!Box telephone book is easy to manage in the web

browser. If you use multiple FRITZ!Fon cordless telephones on

the FRITZ!Box, you can use a shared telephone book or set up

a seperate telephone book for each FRITZ!Fon in the

FRITZ!Box.

In addition, the FRITZ!Box telephone functions offer conve-

nient features like a call list, call diversion and do not disturb.

DECT Base Station for Cordless Telephones

A DECT base station is integrated in your FRITZ!Box. Up to six

cordless telephones can be connected with the FRITZ!Box:

you don’t need an additional base station.

Switchboard in the Home Network

The FRITZ!Box connects your computers and other network

devices not only with the Internet, but also with each other.

The connected network devices constitute the home network

of the FRITZ!Box and can exchange data among each other.

Connect computers and other network devices with the

FRITZ!Box either wirelessly via WLAN or using a network ca-

ble.

The FRITZ!Box can manage various storage media and make

them available to all participants in the home network. These

include connected USB flash drives, USB hard drives and on-

line storage.

Ports and Interfaces

USB Ports

The FRITZ!Box has two USB ports, which can be used to inte-

grate USB devices in your home network like USB printers or

USB storage media. The connected USB devices can then be

used simultaneously by all network devices in the home net-

work of the FRITZ!Box.

If you connect a USB modem for mobile broadband Internet

(UMTS/HSPA), the FRITZ!Box can establish Internet connec-

tions via the mobile communications network.

Media Server for Music, Images, and Video in the Home

Network

As a media server the FRITZ!Box makes music, video and im-

age files available throughout the entire home network. With

suitable playback devices in the home network of the

FRITZ!Box you can even play back the media files when the

computer is turned off.

Your music, video and image files can be stored on a USB

storage medium connected to the FRITZ!Box.

The playback devices or programs, for instance computers or

television sets, must support the UPnP AV or DLNA standard.
