Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
8.2
Using Energy-Saving Functions of the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box combines a variety of devices in one device:
VDSL and ADSL modem, WLAN router, media server, answer-
ing machines, fax machine and base station for DECT cord-
less telephones. This means that you generally use much less
power with the FRITZ!Box than you would with several sepa-
rate devices.
What is more, the FRITZ!Box saves energy by reducing pro-
cessing power on standby and lowering the power consump-
tion of idle functions. The FRITZ!Box also offers various set-
tings for energy-saving operation.
The current energy consumption of the total FRITZ!Box system
is displayed on the “Overview” page. From there, click with
the mouse to view the “Energy Monitor”, which displays de-
tails on the energy consumption.
Energy-Efficient Operation of the Wireless LAN Radio
Network
The WLAN module of the FRITZ!Box works in “Green AP
mode”. This means it is especially energy-efficient: As soon
as no more wireless LAN devices are connected with the
FRITZ!Box, the energy consumption of the WLAN module is
automatically reduced to a minimum. “Green AP” operation
has no effect on the accessibility of the wireless network for
wireless LAN devices, since the new registration of a wireless
LAN device automatically ends the mode, thus restoring full
wireless LAN functionality to the FRITZ!Box.
You can further reduce the power consumption of the radio
network by configuring the following settings:
•
set up a schedule for the wireless radio network in the
“WLAN / Schedule” menu; see
page 103
•
turn off the wireless radio network whenever no more
wireless LAN devices are registered with the FRITZ!Box;
see
page 104
.

Enabling Energy-Saving Mode for USB Hard Drives
In the FRITZ!Box you can enable an energy-saving function for
USB hard drives connected to the FRITZ!Box. When the
energy-saving function is enabled, connected USB hard
drives will be switched off when they are idle—as long as the
hard drives support the energy-saving function.
Enable the energy-saving function in the “Home Network /
USB Devices” menu in the FRITZ!Box user interface. You can
also test here whether your USB hard disk supports the ener-
gy-saving function.
Saving Energy at the LAN Ports
For energy-efficient use of your gigabit LAN ports you can
specify for each individual LAN port whether it should always
operate with full power (power mode) or with reduced energy
consumption (green mode). With green mode you can reduce
the power consumption of the FRITZ!Box to the level neces-
sary for your applications.
The LAN ports can be configured in the advanced view of the
FRITZ!Box user interface; see
page 34
. In the “Home Network
/ Network / Network Settings” menu you can select from
among the following operating modes in the “LAN Settings”
area:
Operating Mode
Functionality and Power Consumption
Power Mode
In this setting LAN connections are estab-
lished with a maximum throughput of
1 Gbit/s.
Higher power consumption than in green
mode if the LAN port is used.
Green Mode
As needed, the FRITZ!Box establishes LAN
connections with a data throughput rate of
100 Mbit/s.
Lower power consumption than for the “Power
Mode” setting.

Locking the Buttons on the FRITZ!Box
8.4
Locking the Buttons on the FRITZ!Box
With the “Keylock” function in the “System / Buttons and
LEDs” menu you can lock the buttons on your FRITZ!Box.
Locking the keys prevents the settings for your FRITZ!Box or
your home network from being changed unintentionally or
without authorization.
Example
With the “WLAN” button the wireless network of the FRITZ!Box
can be switched off at the touch of a button. If this happens
by accident, in some cases it may take some time before the
cause is found and the wireless LAN radio network can be re-
stored to all FRITZ!Box users in the home network.
Enabling the Keylock
Enable the setting “Buttons locked”.
Disabling the Keylock
Disable the setting “Buttons locked”.
8.5
Saving and Restoring the FRITZ!Box Settings
All of the settings you configure in the FRITZ!Box can be saved
in a backup file. With this file you can restore your settings at
any time:
•
in
the same FRITZ!Box
or
another FRITZ!Box of the same
model
•
in a
different FRITZ!Box model
.
In this case you can select which settings are to be ap-
plied to the FRITZ!Box.
