You can also connect a network hub or switch to the LAN ports so that even more computers can be connected to FRITZ!Box. All computers connected to FRITZ!Box are networked together and can access shared files and printers.
Internet Connection

All of the computers connected to FRITZ!Box can access the Internet. There are two different ways of establishing an Internet connection. Both cases require Internet account information from an Internet Service Provider: The Internet connection is established by FRITZ!Box. For this the Internet account information must be registered in FRITZ!Box. In this case FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router and all computers can use the Internet connection at the same time. The computers connected establish the Internet connections themselves. For this, Internet access software must be installed and the Internet account information entered on the given computer. In this case FRITZ!Box works as a DSL modem.

Integrated Firewall USB Port

When FRITZ!Box is operated as a DSL router, the integrated firewall protects your network from attacks from the Internet. The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a USB host controller to which you can connect a USB storage device (hard drive, stick), a printer, a AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick or a USB hub. AVM Stick & Surf technology is provided by the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick. This technology allows security settings to be read from the FRITZ!Box automatically. For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Network devices can be connected to the FRITZ!Box LAN port along with network hubs or switches, including game consoles. The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. Computers equipped with a WLAN adapter can be wirelessly connected to FRITZ!Box. FRITZ!Box can be connected to computers with Windows operating systems, the Linux operating system or Apple computers with the Mac OS X operating system.

How Does Internet Telephony Work?

All kinds of data transmission in the Internet use the Internet Protocol (IP). IP is packet-oriented. This means that the data are broken down into data packets for transmission and IP takes care of the transport of the individual data packets through the Internet. Language is also transmitted in the Internet in this manner. In opposition to this, fixed-line telephony transmits data in a line-oriented manner. In this case data are transmitted in a coherent data stream. For packet-oriented transmission in the Internet, the loss of packets cannot be ruled out completely. Under unfavorable conditions this can lead to speech quality in Internet telephony that is inferior to that in fixed-line telephony.

Telephony Scenarios

Telephony Scenarios If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an Internet number in FRITZ!Box, you can make calls in all directions: from the fixed-line network into the fixed-line network from the Internet into the fixed-line network from the Internet into the Internet and receive calls from all directions as well. Bandwidth Management with FRITZ!Box FRITZ!Box is equipped with integrated bandwidth management. This function ensures that the speech quality during telephone calls over the Internet is not reduced by surfing activity. FRITZ!Box adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Because FRITZ!Box also places a higher priority on Internet telephony connections over Internet data connections, unwelcome interference is largely avoided. Just as for any other analog call, once Internet telephony transmission capacity has been reached, remote partners receive a busy sign.

A USB printer can be connected to the USB port for use as a network printer. The printer is then available to all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box. If you would like to connect a USB printer, please note the following: Only printers that can be addressed with the device class Printer are supported as network printers. This is not the case for some multi-function devices, for instance combined fax-scanner-printers. Host-based printers, like those that work according to the GDI system, are not supported for operation as network printers with the FRITZ!Box. For multi-function devices (printers with additional functions like fax or scanning) operated as network printers, only the printing function is supported. If the printer you are using as a network printer is equipped with a status monitor, you may not be able to use this. For computers with Linux: The printer must be supported by CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) software and be detected correctly at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box. For Apple computers: The only printers that can be used are the ones whose drivers can be selected in the Printer utility or for which a compatible driver is available there. If you want to use the printer as a network printer, the printer connection must be configured, and the suitable printer drivers installed, on every computer. Print jobs are forwarded to the IP address of the printer server in the local network via the printer port.

More about WLAN

More about WLAN

WLAN is a radio technology that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection.

8.1

Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Standards for the Throughput Rate

Data Throughput

The standards IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g define the transmission rate within a wireless LAN. These standards differentiate between gross and net transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission rate of the user data. The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
Gross Data Throughput Net Data Throughput 11 Mbit/s 54 Mbit/s 5 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s

Standard 802.11b 802.11g

Frequency Band / Frequency Bands 2.4 GHz 2.4 GHz

The FRITZ!Box supports both standards. WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards listed can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
Range

The range within a WLAN is highly dependent on the following three factors: the WLAN adapter used, the structural conditions the amount of radio traffic on the same frequency band. Other WLAN networks, microwave ovens or Bluetooth transmitters (mobile telephones) may be active.

FRITZ!Box

57

Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box IEEE 802.11b

With a maximum throughput rate of 11 Mbit/s, this is the oldest standard for radio networks. Older WLAN adapters of the first generation can communicate with the FRITZ!Box using 802.11b. However, if the WLAN adapter supports newer standards such as 802.11g, the latest standard should be used. This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It communicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s in the 2.4-GHz frequency range (ISM) and guarantees broad compatibility with many WLAN devices. However, due to heavy use of the 2.4-GHz range, interference is more common than in the less-used 5-GHz range. Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box In order to be able to set the right standard for throughput, you must first switch to the Expert Mode on the user interface: 1. 2. Select the menu Settings / Advanced Settings / System / Expert Mode. Select Show expert settings and then click Apply.

IEEE 802.11g

You must configure the standard you want to use for the transmission rate in the FRITZ!Box. The settings is configured in the Settings / WLAN / Radio Settings menu, in the Mode field. Note the following for the configuration of this setting: In order to communicate with each other, the FRITZ!Box and all WLAN adapters must work in the same frequency band. The standard you configure in the FRITZ!Box must be compatible with the standards of all WLAN adapters used in the WLAN. Make a note of which standards the WLAN adapters in your network are compatible with and then set the correct mode based on this information.

FRITZ!Box

The Standard for Security

The Standard for Security

IEEE 802.11i

The WPA security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mechanism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AES-CCM encryption process.
Mechanism WPA WPA2 Encryption TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) TKIP AES-CCM based on the extremely secure AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) procedure. CCM (Counter with CBC-MAC) defines how the AES procedure is applied to WLAN packets.

FRITZ!Box supports the AES encryption procedure as part of the WPA2 mechanism, and the TKIP encryption procedure as part of the WPA mechanism. This means that the FRITZ!Box can be used in combination with any WLAN adapters that also support WPA2 with AES or WPA with TKIP.

8.2

Security
Security is of utmost importance within radio networks. Radio signals can also be received outside of office or residential spaces and abused for criminal purposes. Therefore it is important that no unauthorized users can register in a WLAN to use its Internet access or shared network resources. FRITZ!Box includes settings on various levels that contribute to the security of your WLAN and thus to the security of your computers.

FRITZ!Box

59

Encryption

Encryption The most important security setting is encryption. FRITZ!Box supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 as follows: As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is determined to serve for the encryption of the user data. The key must also be entered in the WLAN settings of the WLAN clients. The WPA and WPA2 mechanisms provide for authentication while the connection is being established. For this a WPA password must be defined. When WPA is selected, the TKIP encryption method is used to encrypt the user data. In WPA2 the AES-CCMP encryption method is used. The security mechanis selected must also be supported by your WLAN adapter. The user data are encrypted using an automatically generated key. This key is regenerated at regular intervals. The WPA password used may be 8 to 63 characters in length. For increased security, however, the password should be at least 20 characters long. Use numerals, letters and special characters and combine capitals and lowercase letters. Encryption Configured in the Factory Settings In the FRITZ!Box a combined encryption WPA + WPA2 with the TKIP/AES-CCMP encryption method is preconfigured. This setting allows you to use WLAN adapters that support WPA (TKIP) or WPA2 (AES-CCMP) or both methods. It is advisable to change the preconfigured WLAN key as soon as possible. Changes to the settings can be configured on the FRITZ!Box user interface.

FRITZ!Box

60

Encryption

Changing the Encryption Method: Recommendations If your WLAN adapter supports an encryption method that is more secure than the one preconfigured in your FRITZ!Box, you should select the more secure encryption method in your FRITZ!Box. To configure the best security settings possible with FRITZ!Box and your WLAN adapter, please note the following recommendations: If your WLAN adapter supports WPA2 in accordance with the 802.11i standard: Enable WPA encryption. Select the WPA mode WPA2 (CCMP) or WPA+WPA2. Replace the WPA key with a new, unique value. If your WLAN adapter supports the WPA mechanism, but not the WPA2 mechanism: Enable WPA encryption. Select the WPA mode WPA (TKIP) or WPA+WPA2. Replace the WLAN network key with a new, unique value. If your WLAN adapter supports neither the WPA nor the WPA2 mechanism: Enable WEP encryption. Replace the WLAN key with a new, unique value. We strongly recommend the use of a WLAN adapter that supports WPA or WPA2 (for instance, the AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered within a few hours.

FRITZ!Box

61

WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID)

WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID) The factory settings of FRITZ!Box include a value of FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 preset for the SSID (Service Set Identifier). If an additional device with the same network name is located in the vicinity, it can occur that the WLAN adapter attempts to register there. Therefore you should change the SSID as soon as possible.

8.3

Frequency Range
WLAN uses the frequency range around 2.4 GHz in the ISM band, or, alternatively, the area around 5 GHz.
2.4-GHz Range

WLAN in the 2.4-GHz frequency band works in the same area as Bluetooth, microwave devices and many cordless telephones. This means that interference may occur within WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally the only adverse effects are to the transmission rate; aborted connections and data losses are rare. In Europe, 13 channels are provided for WLAN in the 2.4 GHz range. One channel has a bandwidth of 22 MHz. A 5-MHz interval is left empty between adjacent channels. That means that channels located directly next to each other may overlap and result in mutual interference. If several WLANs are operated within a small space, a distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used. For instance, if channel 1 is selected for one WLAN, the channels 7 through 13 can be selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.

WLAN Autochannel

With the WLAN Autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automatically searches for the channel subject to the least interference. Should problems with interference persist despite this function, try to identify the source of interference and switch it off manually. Additional tips on interference in the WLAN radio network are presented in the section Eliminating Disturbances Caused by Another WLAN Radio Network from page 85.

Increasing the WLAN Range Using WDS

You can extend the range in your wireless network using WDS (Wireless Distributed System). For this you need another WLAN access point in addition to the FRITZ!Box. One of the two WLAN access points works as the base station, the other as a repeater. The base station and repeater are connected to each other via WLAN. The base station then can use the repeater to reach even computers that would be located beyond its range without the repeater.

WDS: Expanding the WLAN range using a repeater

Please note: In order to expand the range of your wireless network, you need at least one additional WLAN access point. The wireless network of your FRITZ!Box can be expanded to a WDS (Wireless Distributed System) with up to four WLAN access points.

FRITZ!Box

63

Increasing the WLAN Range Using WDS

All WLAN access points implemented in the WDS must support WDS and be configured for this technology. All WLAN access points implemented as repeaters in the WDS must be located within the range of the base station. When WDS in the FRITZ!Box is enabled, it can function as a base station to establish the Internet connection for other repeaters, or as a repeater to expand the range of a base station. Make sure that the WLAN connections in the wireless network are encrypted for security. Make sure that all WLAN access points in the WDS use the same radio channel. Every access point participating in the WDS fulfills the tasks of a WLAN access point for its given WLAN clients. This means that the WLAN clients see each WLAN access point with an individual name (SSID) and individual encryption settings. If you use the WLAN control software provided by the Windows XP Service Pack 2 on your WLAN clients, you can assign the same SSID and the same encryption settings to different WLAN access points. Each client can then automatically register at the WLAN access point with the best availability. Make sure that each IP address is assigned only once in the wireless network.

Specifying the WDS Mode for the FRITZ!Box

Specifying the WDS Mode for the FRITZ!Box The FRITZ!Box can be configured as a base station or as a repeater: As a base station, the FRITZ!Box establishes Internet connections for other WLAN repeaters and WLAN clients. As a repeater, the FRITZ!Box extends the range of a base station in the wireless network. Configuring FRITZ!Box as a Base Station The MAC address of the repeater must be determined before you can configure the FRITZ!Box as a base station. 1. Connect the device you want to use as a repeater to your computer. Proceed as described in the corresponding documentation. Make note of the MAC address of the repeater or print it out. The MAC address is generally printed on a sticker on the base of the device. If the other repeater is a FRITZ!Box, the MAC address will be listed as Local MAC Address of this FRITZ!Box in the WLAN / Monitor. You can also print out this information using the print command in your browser. Once you have determined the MAC address of the repeater, you must register its address in the settings of the base station. 1. 2. To do this, reconnect the FRITZ!Box to your computer and open a web browser. Enter fritz.box in the address line of your web browser and confirm your entry by pressing Enter.

Network Settings

Network Settings
Upon delivery, the network settings of the FRITZ!Box are preconfigured as follows:
Factory Settings All computers are located in the same IP network IP address Subnet mask DHCP server enabled 192.168.178.1 255.255.255.0 enabled

According to these settings, all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in the same subnetwork. You can change any of these settings, but should only do so if you are well versed in network settings. If you do not have much experience in setting up networks, please read this chapter in full. The Basics section explains terms and concepts having to do with IP networks. The sections IP Address, DHCP Server and Subnetwork explain when it may make sense to change the preconfigured network settings, what the effects of these changes are, and how to make the changes.

9.1

Basics
What Is IP? IP is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol. The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.
IP Network

A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of the Internet Protocol is called an IP network.

FRITZ!Box

69

What Is an IP Address?

What Is an IP Address? The term IP address is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol address. The IP address corresponds to the postal address of a device located in the Internet or in a local IP network. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the Internet or a local IP network. The IP address consists of four three-digit groups of numbers (e.g. 192.168.178.154). Each group of numbers can assume values between 000 and 255. IP addresses can be public or private, and also fixed or assigned dynamically.
Public IP Address

A public IP address is an IP address valid in the Internet. Every computer or router participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. This address is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet Service Provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The Internet Service Provider assigns the negotiated IP address to the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session. Private IP addresses are used for computers and other network devices within local IP networks. Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Internet except via single computers or routers (gateway), certain address ranges are excluded from the publicly available IP addresses so that they are available for assignment in local IP networks. An IP address may only be assigned once within the local network. A private IP address may exist in any number of other local networks.

Private IP Address

Fixed IP Address

Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses which are permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a network printer.

FRITZ!Box

70

Subnetwork

Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a local network has a sufficiently large pool of IP addresses available, or when a computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address (such as a web server or email server).
Dynamic IP Address

A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the duration of one Internet or network session. Every computer participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. Since only a limited number of such IP addresses is available, they must be used sparingly. That is why most of the Internet participants who dial in to the Internet receive a dynamic IP address. They are called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time he or she dials in to the Internet. By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because using them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments. The DHCP service is responsible for assigning unique dynamic IP addresses. Subnetwork A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks is performed when the local IP network is configured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is the network address and which the address of the computer. The network address defines what is called the subnet.
Example 1 IP address: Subnet mask: 192.168.178.247 255.255.255.0

The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:

Subnetwork

Example 1 Network address of the subnet: 192.168.178.0

Address of the computer 192.168.178.247 in the subnet: IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.178.0 - 192.168.178.255 The IP addresses 192.168.178.0 and 192.168.178.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.178.1 to 192.168.178.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

Example 2 IP address: Subnet mask: 192.168.178.247 255.255.0.0

The assignment of the first two groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first two groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result: Network address (subnet): 192.168.0.0 Address of the computer 192.168.178.247 in the subnet: IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 The IP addresses 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

What Is DHCP?

What Is DHCP? DHCP is the abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP is a protocol for the dynamic negotiation of the operating parameters for the TCP/IP protocol (TCP is a transport protocol based on the Internet protocol). The computers of a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems start procedure. The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that has not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP addresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed pool of IP addresses. The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts due to IP addresses accidentally assigned more than once.

When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address?

When Does It Make Sense to Change the IP Address? You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box if the following apply to your network: You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with several computers. Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network settings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not permitted to change these addresses. You want to connect the FRITZ!Box to the subnet in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to all of the computers in the subnet. What IP Address Must You Assign for the FRITZ!Box and What Else Must Be Taken into Consideration? The IP address must come from the address range of your existing subnet. The subnet mask must correspond with that of the connected subnet. When the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box is enabled, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server. If none of the computers in your network has an address from this pool, the DHCP server can remain switched on. If one of the computers has a fixed address assigned from this pool, you should switch off the DHCP server. If you can no longer open the FRITZ!Box user interface after entering the IP address, see the information in the section Errors Opening the User Interface from page 80.

Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled

The IP address, the corresponding subnet mask and the activated DHCP server automatically yield the following values:
Network address of the subnet 192.168.178.0 Entire IP address pool for the computers 192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253

Address pool of the DHCP server 192.168.178.20 - 200

In every subnet of the FRITZ!Box, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server. Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located in a single subnet. The computers can receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server only if the setting Obtain an IP address automatically is enabled in the their IP settings. For more information, see the section IP Settings from page 87. Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled If you would like to give fixed IP addresses to individual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box, despite the fact that the DHCP server is enabled, then you must disable the option Obtain an IP address automatically in this computers network settings and enter the fixed IP address manually. Which IP Addresses Can You Assign to the Computers? The IP addresses must be from the same subnet as FRITZ!Box. The IP addresses may not come from the address pool of the DHCP server. If the factory settings are not changed, that means the following IP addresses are available:
192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.19 192.168.178.201 - 192.168.178.253

Each IP address can be assigned only once.
