Saving Energy at the LAN Ports

For the individual LAN ports of your FRITZ!Box you can config-

ure various operation modes. The power consumption of

some modes is higher than others. Select the operation

mode that is best suited to your needs in order to minimize

the power consumption of the LAN ports.

The LAN ports can be configured in the FRITZ!Box user inter-

face. In the “System / Energy Monitor” menu, the following

operating modes are available on the “Settings” page:

Help in Case of Errors

This chapter provides assistance if you are not able to open

the user interface of your FRITZ!Box or are having problems

with the DSL or WLAN connection.

For more comprehensive help, see the AVM knowledge data-

base in the Internet, which can be accessed at the following

18.1

Cannot Establish a DSL Connection

The FRITZ!Box automatically establishes a connection to the

DSL network as soon as it is connected with the DSL line. If

the DSL connection is not established, check which kind (an-

nex) of DSL is set in your FRITZ!Box and attempt to resolve the

error.

Changing the Annex Setting of the FRITZ!Box

The FRITZ!Box cannot establish a connection to the DSL

network. This is signaled by the continued flashing of the

“Power / DSL” LED.

The kind of DSL (Annex A, B, J or M) set in the FRITZ!Box is not

the same as the annex used on your DSL line.

1.

Contact your Internet Service Provider to find out which

annex is used on your DSL line.

2.

Connect a computer with the FRITZ!Box either wirelessly

via WLAN or using a network cable.

3.

Open the FRITZ!Box user interface as described on

page 31

.

4.

Click the toolbar entry “Expert Mode” or in the “System /

Expert Mode”

menu to enable the expert settings of the

FRITZ!Box and confirm your setting by clicking “Apply”.

Click the “Internet / DSL Information” menu and select

the “Line Setting” tab. In the “Annex Settings” section,

make sure that the annex working on your DSL line is

set. Save your settings by clicking “Apply”.

After the annex setting has been changed, the FRITZ!Box re-

starts automatically. The connection to the DSL network has

been established as soon as the “Power / DSL” LED stops

flashing and remains lit up.

The User Interface Does Not Open

If an error message is returned when you open the FRITZ!Box

user interface, this can have various causes. Check the

causes listed below and attempt to resolve the error.

Restarting the FRITZ!Box

The user interface cannot be opened or does not react.

Inconsistencies within the FRITZ!Box.

1.

Restart the FRITZ!Box.

Remove the power cable from the outlet.

2.

Wait about five seconds before reconnecting to the pow-

er supply.

3.

To make sure that the FRITZ!Box has finished restarting,

wait until the “Power / DSL” LED lights up and stops

flashing and, if you have switched on WLAN, the “WLAN”

LED remains lit up as well. This ensures that the

FRITZ!Box restart has been completed.

4.

Try again to open the FRITZ!Box user interface by enter-

ing

fritz.box

in the address field.

The User Interface Does Not Open

If you still cannot open the user interface by entering

fritz.box

or by

192.168.178.1

, use the fixed IP address of the

FRITZ!Box as described on

Disabling Dial-up Connections

The user interface is not opened; a window for a dial-up

connection appears instead.

The browser must use the network connection between the

computer and FRITZ!Box when the user interface is opened.

Networking connection. The following example explains how

to check the settings of Internet Explorer 8:

1.

Select the “Connections” settings page under “Tools /

Internet Options”.

2.

In the “Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings” sec-

tion, enable the option “Never dial a connection”.

3.

As a final step, click “OK”.

Disabling Online Operation

The user interface does not appear in the window of your web

browser.

The web browser is set for offline operation.

Configure the web browser for online operation. Using the ex-

ample of Internet Explorer 8:

1.

Open the “Tools” menu.
