Configuring the FRITZ!Box for Telephone Calls

This chapter describes how to configure your FRITZ!Box for making

telephone calls.

11.1

Configuring Your Telephone Numbers

Configure the following telephone numbers in the FRITZ!Box

using the wizard:

•

All Internet telephone numbers that are not configured

in the FRITZ!Box automatically by the provider.

•

Landline telephone numbers you would like to assign to

telephones and other terminal devices.

•

Landline numbers for which you would like to configure

convenience functions like the answering machine and

call diversion.

Automatic Configuration

Some telephony providers configure the Internet telephone

numbers in the FRITZ!Box automatically. This procedure is al-

so known as “remote configuration”.

Remote configuration starts right after the FRITZ!Box is con-

nected to the Internet or right after the FRITZ!Box user inter-

face is opened.

The configured Internet telephone numbers are located in the

user interface under “Telephony / Telephone Numbers”.

Configuring Telephone Numbers with the Wizard

Here is how to configure an Internet telephone number or

landline telephone number in the FRITZ!Box:

1.

Open the FRITZ!Box user interface, see

page 32

.

2.

Select “Wizards / Manage Telephone Numbers”.

3.

Click “Add Telephone Number” and follow the Wizard’s

instructions.

Password Tips

•

Select a password with at least eight characters, which

includes capitals and lower-case letters as well as nu-

merals and special characters.

See “Characters for Passwords” in the Help of the

FRITZ!Box user interface for more information about

which characters you’re allowed to use.

•

Be sure to keep your passwords in a safe place!

–

Use the “Forgot password” push service, see

Push

Services: Notification Services of the FRITZ!Box

from

page 38

. When you have forgotten a password, the

FRITZ!Box sends you an access link to the e-mail ad-

dress you specified. You can assign a new the pass-

word using this link. In this case the settings of your

FRITZ!Box remain intact.

–

Otherwise—if you lose your FRITZ!Box password—you

will have to restore the factory settings to the

FRITZ!Box and reconfigure all of the personal settings

for your Internet connection, your telephone system

and your home network; see

page 68
