This chapter introduces additional useful functions and
features of the FRITZ!Box.
7.1
Child Protection
The child protection feature in the FRITZ!Box allows you to
specify when and for how long individual computers or
Windows users may use the Internet. For instance, you can
define that your children are allowed to use the Internet
connection only on weekdays between 4:00 p.m. and
8:00 p.m., and then only for one hour.
Child protection is set in the “Internet / Child Protection”
menu.
Child protection can be set up for any computer, re-
gardless of the operating system used.
In the Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP
operating systems, child protection can be config-
ured for each user individually.
See the Online Help of the FRITZ!Box to set up child pro-
tection. The Online Help contains further comprehensive
information on the child protection feature.
7.2
Energy Monitor
The FRITZ!Box is extremely efficient in its energy use.
The individual modules of the FRITZ!Box adapt their ener-
gy consumption to the amount needed at any given time.
Modules that are not in use or being used far below their
capacity reduce their energy consumption accordingly.
For an overview of energy consumption, open the “System
/ Energy Monitor” menu.
The “Child Protection” menu is available only if you have
set up the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box and estab-
lished an Internet connection. The menu is not available
if you have configured the FRITZ!Box as a DSL modem or
IP client.

Energy Monitor
162
The energy consumption is shown as a percentage. The
maximum power consumption value of the FRITZ!Box is
the amount of energy used when all functions are in oper-
ation.
The “Energy Monitor” page shows the following:
“FRITZ!Box system overall”
This graph shows how much energy all of the
FRITZ!Box functions are using at the moment, and
how much they use in total on an average day. When
all functions and modules are working at capacity,
this value equals 100%. When the load is less, the
value is correspondingly lower.
“FRITZ!Box central processor”
The energy consumption of the CPU is displayed,
both the current value and the daily average. When
all functions and modules are working at capacity,
this value equals 100%. When the load is less, the
value is correspondingly lower.
The individual FRITZ!Box modules
For each module, this page displays the amount of
energy being consumed at the moment and the daily
average. When all functions and modules are work-
ing at capacity, this value equals 100%. When the
load is less, the value is correspondingly lower.
“Statistics” tab
Here two diagrams show how certain device parame-
ters of the FRITZ!Box change depending on the ac-
tions performed with the FRITZ!Box. Interested users
can watch the how these changes are related over
time and observe how the FRITZ!Box is affected by si-
multaneously making telephone calls, surfing and
streaming data.
In the “System / Energy Monitor”, you can disable individ-
ual, unneeded LAN ports manually on the “Settings” tab.

Push Service E-mail
7.3
Push Service E-mail
With push service you can specify that the FRITZ!Box
sends you e-mail messages with status and consumption
data at regular intervals.
The e-mail contains a table with the overview of your
FRITZ!Box connections.
The call list is also sent as a file in csv format. The file can
then be opened and evaluated statistically with appropri-
ate software like a spreadsheet program.
The push service mail is set up in the “System / Push Ser-
vice” menu.
7.4
Night Service
In the FRITZ!Box you can set up night service for WLAN and
for the telephones connected to the FRITZ!Box.
Configure night service in the “System / Night Service”
menu.
First define the period of time for which the night service
of the FRITZ!Box should be active. For instance, from
10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
The function must be enabled after you specify the set-
tings.
“Switch off wireless network (WLAN)”
When this setting is selected, WLAN is switched off
during the night service period. This saves electricity.
The wireless network can be switched back on at any
time manually by pressing the WLAN button.

“Do Not Disturb enabled” setting
When this setting is selected, the telephones con-
nected with the FRITZ!Box will not ring.
This setting does not apply to the IP telephones. They
are connected with the FRITZ!Box either by means of
a network cable or via WLAN. The Do Not Disturb set-
ting is not applied to IP telephones.
If you connected a fax machine to the FRITZ!Box, this
device is disabled during night service.
The Do Not Disturb setting has no effect on the fax
function integrated in the FRITZ!Box.
If you connected an answering machine to the
FRITZ!Box, this device is not active during night ser-
vice.
The Do Not Disturb setting has no effect on the an-
swering machine integrated in the FRITZ!Box.
Individual settings can be made for different devices;
for instance, different times for the Do Not Disturb
setting can be set for individual telephones. Or, you
can except individual devices entirely from the Do
Not Disturb setting. The individual settings can be
configured in the “Telephony / Telephony Devices”
menu.
