The FRITZ!Box User Interface
The FRITZ!Box has a user interface you can open in a web browser on
your computer.
In the user interface you can set up the FRITZ!Box, enable or disable
functions and receive information on the FRITZ!Box and on your con-
nections.
5.1

The FRITZ!Box user interface can be opened on every comput-
er connected with the FRITZ!Box.

The Wizard: Opening the User Interface for the First Time
When you open the user interface for the first time, a wizard
starts to assist you in configuring the FRITZ!Box.
If you cancel the wizard, you can configure your FRITZ!Box
without this wizard. You can change the settings configured
with this wizard at any time.
For comprehensive information on configuring the many di-
verse functions of your FRITZ!Box, see the following chapters
in this manual.
If the user interface does
not
open, see the instructions on
resolving errors in the section from
page 118

Protecting the User Interface with a Password
5.2
Protecting the User Interface with a Password
You can protect the user interface of the FRITZ!Box with a
password. The password will be requested every time the us-
er interface is opened. This protects the settings of your
FRITZ!Box from unauthorized access.
Setting Up Password Protection
As long as no password protection has been set up, every
time you open the user interface you will be prompted to en-
ter a password. If you disabled this message, here is how to
set password protection:
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface.
2.
Go to the “System / FRITZ!Box Password” menu.
3.
Enter a password and save the password by clicking “Ap-
ply”.
Password protection is now enabled.
Logging Off the User Interface
When password protection is enabled, you can log off the us-
er interface at any time. To do so, click
.
If you do not click on the user interface for a period of longer
than ten minutes, you will be logged off automatically. The
only pages excepted from this are those which are constantly
updated, like the “Overview” page. No automatic logout will
take place on these pages.
We strongly recommend setting up and using password pro-
tection for the user interface.
Be sure to remember the password ! If you forget the
password, the factory settings will have to be restored
to your FRITZ!Box (see
page 137
). All of the settings you
configured will be discarded.

5.3
Saving the FRITZ!Box Settings
All of the settings you configure in your FRITZ!Box can be
saved in a backup file on your computer. With this backup file
you can restore your settings to the FRITZ!Box at any time or
load your settings to another FRITZ!Box.
Saving and Restoring Settings
To save and restore your FRITZ!Box settings, use the “System
/ Save Settings” menu in the user interface. Here you can
•
save your FRITZ!Box settings on the “Save” tab.
•
restore all of your saved settings to
the same FRITZ!Box
on the “Restore” tab.
•
load all of your saved settings to
another FRITZ!Box of
the same model
on the “Restore” tab.
•
load your saved settings to
another FRITZ!Box model
on
the “Apply” tab. In this case you can select which set-
tings are to be applied to the FRITZ!Box.
Instructions for saving, restoring and applying FRITZ!Box files
are presented in the user interface’s Online Help.
To load your saved settings to
another FRITZ!Box of the same
model
, or to apply your FRITZ!Box settings to
another
FRITZ!Box model
, the backup file must always be password
protected.

Configuring an Internet Connection in FRITZ!Box

Configuring an Internet Connection in FRITZ!Box
Once you have connected the FRITZ!Box to your Internet connection,
you must configure the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box user in-
terface so that the FRITZ!Box can establish the connection to your In-
ternet Service Provider and connect to the Internet.
The sequence and number of steps required to configure your Internet
connection depend on the kind of connection, the desired operating
mode, and the Internet Service Provider.
6.1
Configuring an Internet Connection for DSL
If you have a DSL line, you received Internet account informa-
tion from your DSL or Internet service Provider. The Internet
account information is required to configure the Internet con-
nection.
Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically
If your Internet Service Provider arranges for the service of au-
tomatically configuring your Internet connection, the auto-
matic configuration will be performed right after the
FRITZ!Box is connected. No additional settings for the Inter-
net connection have to be configured in the FRITZ!Box. To
start automatic configuration, some providers require that
you enter a start code.
Configuring the Internet Connection Using the Wizard
With the Wizard it is simple to configure the Internet connec-
tion.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Select “Wizards” in the menu.
3.
Click the “Check Internet Connection” Wizard and follow
the instructions.
Your Internet Service Provider also supplied information
about the configuration of your Internet connection. Always
perform the Internet connection setup as described by your
provider.

When the Wizard is finished, your Internet connection has
been configured.
Configuring the Internet Connection Without the Wizard
You can also set up the Internet connection without the Wiz-
ard.
Choose this method if the FRITZ!Box is connected to a DSL
modem or a DSL router, or integrated into an existing net-
work.
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
page 31
).
2.
Enable the expert settings in the “System / Expert
Mode” menu.
3.
Select the “Internet / Account Information” menu and
enter your account information.
Also take advantage of the Help available in the FRITZ!Box us-
er interface.
6.2
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.
4.
Open the “Internet / DSL Information” and select the
“Line Settings” page.
