compliant with the EuroDOCSIS 3.0 standard. Up to four
channels are available in both the receiving and the sending
10
FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable
directions. Channel bundling is possible in both directions.
This allows for transmission rates of up to 220 Mbit/s in the
receiving direction and sending at a rate of up to 120 Mbit/s.
PBX
You can connect two analog telephones, fax machines or answering machines to the FRITZ!Box.
Up to eight ISDN telephony devices can be connected to the
integrated ISDN S0 port.
Using Cordless Telephones
Thanks to the DECT function, the FRITZ!Box can be used as a
base station for cordless telephones. Every cordless telephone that supports the DECT standard can be registered at
the FRITZ!Box.
Connecting Computers
Four computers can be connected directly to the FRITZ!Box
using the four LAN ports.
You can also connect a network hub or switch to the LAN
ports so that even more computers can be connected to the
FRITZ!Box.
WLAN Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. All computers that support WLAN can be wirelessly connected to the FRITZ!Box.
Local Network
All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box constitute
a network and can share access to any files released for file
sharing.
Internet
All of the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box can access
the Internet.
The FRITZ!Box works as a router, making the Internet connection available to all connected computers. All connected computers can then use the Internet connection at the same time.
11
FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable
IPv6
The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable can be configured for IPv6. Thanks
to the dual-stack concept, IPv4 can be used at the same time,
parallel to IPv6.
The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable supports native IPv6 in case your
Internet Provider offers a direct IPv6 link. IPv6 with tunnel protocols can be used over IPv4 links. The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable supports various tunnel protocols.
Firewall
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with an integrated firewall. The integrated firewall protects your network from attacks from the
Internet as long as the FRITZ!Box is operated as a router.
USB Port
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a port for USB devices, to which
you can connect USB storage devices (hard drive, stick), a printer, one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, a USB hub or other devices (see page 53).
The USB port supports the USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 standards.
If you use one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, the AVM
Stick & Surf technology is at your disposal. Use Stick & Surf
to adopt the WLAN security settings from the FRITZ!Box quickly and conveniently.
For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Alternatively, the USB remote connection is available for the use of
printers.
Media Server
An integrated media server makes music, image and video files
available in the local network. A USB storage with a media collection is simply connected to the FRITZ!Box. A suitable playback device linked to the local network can then play back
these media contents. Suitable devices include FRITZ!Media
and other devices compatible with the UPnP AV standard.
Network Devices
Other network devices can also be connected to the network
ports of the FRITZ!Box, for instance game consoles.

The USB port of the FRITZ!Box supports the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 standards.
Various USB devices can be connected to the host controller:
•
•
a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick model from AVM
•
•
a USB printer
a USB mass storage device (hard drive, memory stick, card reader)
a USB hub
A maximum of four USB devices may be connected to the USB hub.

Connection
Some USB devices, such as memory sticks or a
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, are inserted directly into the USB port
of the USB host controller on the FRITZ!Box. Other devices like
USB printers are connected to the USB port by means of a
USB cable.
42
Accessing USB Devices
If you would like to use multiple devices at the USB port, you
can also use a USB hub (see the section USB Hub on
page 56). Please read the Tips for Using USB Devices on
page 56 first.
8.2
Accessing USB Devices
Network Sharing
As soon as a USB device is connected to the FRITZ!Box, all of
its functions are available in the entire network:
8.3
•
The files in the USB mass storage can be accessed from
the network via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or you can
make the USB mass storage device available as a network storage device. The two kinds of access are explained in greater detail in the section Accessing the
Data on the USB Mass Storage on page 44.
•
USB printers are available as network printers.
USB Storage
USB storage devices include hard drives, memory sticks, and
card readers.
File Systems
Access to USB memory devices connected to the FRITZ!Box is
possible via the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), network storage
and USB remote connection functions. USB storage devices
using the file systems FAT, FAT32 and NTFS are supported.
Files in the FAT and FAT32 file systems are supported up to a
size of 4 GB. This limit does not apply in the NTFS file system,
where even larger files can be accessed.
Access Rights and Password Protection
You can define access rights and password protection for the
USB storage devices. These settings are valid for all USB storage devices connected to the FRITZ!Box. It is not possible to
assign specific read or write access or an individual password
to each storage device.
43
USB Storage
Configuring
Proceed as follows to define access rights and password protection for the USB storage devices:
1.
Start a web browser.
2.
Enter fritz.box in the address field.
3.
Select the “Home Network / Storage (NAS)” menu.
4.
Select the “Security” page.
5.
Configure the access rights and password protection for
the USB mass storage devices.
The access rights and password are are not enabled if the USB
remote connection is enabled for all USB storage devices.
Accessing the Data on the USB Mass Storage
USB storage devices connected to the FRITZ!Box directly or
via a USB hub are displayed with their device name in the
“USB Devices / Overview of Devices” menu on the user interface.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
All of the computers in the network can access the data in the
USB mass storage simultaneously via FTP.
Click the name of the USB storage device in the “USB Devices /
Overview of Devices” menu or open a web browser and enter
ftp://fritz.box in the address field. The folder structure of the
USB storage device is displayed in the web browser.
The data in the USB storage device can be accessed via FTP
using any FTP client.
Files from the USB storage device cannot be executed or
opened in a suitable program until they have been copied to
your computer or your local network.
44
USB Printers
USB Network Storage
The FRITZ!Box offers you the possibility of making USB storage devices available in the Windows network as network
drives. Files in the USB memory then can be opened and processed directly on the USB mass storage device.
Media Server
With this option music, image and video files on the USB storage device can be played back by compatible devices
(streaming). The USB storage device with the media collection is simply connected to the USB port on the FRITZ!Box and
a suitable playback device is linked to the local network.
The devices automatically communicate via Universal Plug &
Play (UPnP). This technology allows the devices connected to
each other by cable or radio network to perform automatic detection, recognize events, and exchange data with each other
accordingly. With UPnP AV this technology has been expanded to audio and video contents.
With the media server, media files of all kinds of formats can
be made available from the connected USB storage device via
UPnP.
8.4
USB Printers
To connect a USB printer to the USB port of the FRITZ!Box, you
can either enable the USB remote connection, or use it as a
network printer.
USB Printer at the USB Remote Connection
If you enable the USB remote connection for USB printers,
then you can use the printer on another computer just as if it
were connected directly to your computer (virtual cable replacement).
•
If you want to use the printer with the USB remote connection enabled, then the program for the USB remote
connection (see page 54) and the suitable printer drivers must be installed on any computer that is supposed
to use the printer.
45
USB Printers
•
When the USB remote connection is enabled, all-in-one
printers (printers with supplementary fax or scanner
functions) can also be used for faxing and scanning.
•
If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you can
use this feature when the USB remote connection is enabled.
•
Host-based printers, like those that expect printer status
message responses from the system (bidirectional communication as in the GDI system, for instance), can only
be used via the USB remote connection. These printers
usually can be used only with an operating system for
which the printer manufacturer has provided driver software. Such printers connected to the FRITZ!Box are not
supported as network printers.
USB Printer as a Network Printer
When you connect a USB printer to the FRITZ!Box and set it up
without using the “USB Remote Connection” software, the
FRITZ!Box manages the printer itself and makes it available as
a network printer to all computers connected to the
FRITZ!Box. Please note the following for the printer setup:
•
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.
•
Only printers that can be addressed with the device
class “Printer” are supported as network printers. This is
generally not the case for multi-function devices, for instance combined fax-scanner-printers.
•
If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, it may
not be possible to use the status monitor if the printer is
operated as a network printer.
•
For multi-function devices (printers with additional functions like fax or scanning), only the printing function is
supported for network printers.

8.6
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick models are WLAN adapters manufactured by AVM for connection to a computer. Using a WLAN
adapter you can connect the computer wirelessly with the
FRITZ!Box.
All FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks from AVM master the Stick & Surf
method, making it easy to establish a secure WLAN connection: The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is inserted briefly into the
USB port on the FRITZ!Box, where it receives all of the security
settings required for the WLAN connection to this FRITZ!Box.
For instructions on establishing a WLAN connection using
Stick & Surf, see the section Connecting the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick from page 18. For more information on the various
FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM and the WLAN standards each

You can connect two USB mass storage devices and one USB
printer, or three USB mass storage devices (like a hard drive
or memory stick) to the USB hub.
It is advisable to use a USB hub with its own power supply.
8.8
Tips for Using USB Devices
When using USB devices at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box,
please keep in mind the following;
•
If more than one USB device without its own power supply is connected to the FRITZ!Box, please note that, in
accordance with the USB specification, the total current
consumption may not exceed a value of 500 mA. Otherwise unspecified malfunctions with the USB devices or
even damage to the FRITZ!Box may occur.
56
Tips for Using USB Devices
•
Before removing a USB storage device, select the “Safely
Remove” button in the FRITZ!Box user interface to prevent losses of data.
•
To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box or the USB storage device, only operate USB storage devices that require more
than one USB port for operation (for instance hard drives
with a Y cable) if they have their own power supply, or
use them at a USB hub with its own power supply.
•
The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from external influences. Thus such phenomena as voltage
spikes during storms may occur, and writing to older
USB memory devices may corrupt the data structure due
to a high number of defective structures. In such cases a
complete loss of data may occur.
Therefore we recommend always backing up the USB
memory content just in case data are lost on the USB
storage device.

Call Diversion
With call diversion you can divert incoming calls. The calls are
diverted to an external telephone line or to a telephone connected with your FRITZ!Box. The following diversions can be
set up on your telephone:
•
Call diversion for a telephone number: Only incoming
calls for the specified telephone number are diverted.
•
Call diversion for all telephone numbers: All incoming
calls (for all telephone numbers) are diverted.
•
Call diversion for an analog extension: All calls for the
specified analog extension on the are diverted.
If your telephony provider supports direct diversion of incoming calls, calls will be diverted by your provider. Otherwise the
FRITZ!Box performs call diversion by establishing a second
call for the diversion whenever a call arrives. In either case,
call diversion to an external line will be charged at your contracted telephone rates.
For call diversion only numerical Internet telephone numbers
can be entered. This means you can use only numerals, no
letters or other characters.
Call Diversion for One or All Telephone Numbers
You can set up call diversion for the local outgoing call number (Caller ID) of the telephone or for any other telephone
number. The telephone uses the local outgoing call number
to establish outgoing calls.
If you set up call diversion for all telephone numbers, all incoming calls will be diverted.
For each call diversion you can select whether an incoming
call is diverted immediately, delayed (after 20 seconds), or
only when the line is busy. All call diversion settings can be
disabled at any time.

of the WLAN adapter in the printout. Try again to establish a connection.
Testing the WLAN Connection Without Security Settings
Disable the WLAN security settings to test whether a WLAN
connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter is
possible at all.
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network cable. Proceed as described in the section Connecting a
Computer to the LAN Port from page 16.
2.
Open the user interface in a web browser. Proceed as described in the section Opening the User Interface on
page 26.
3.
Go to the “WLAN / Security” menu and select “non-enctypted”. As a final step, click “Apply”.
4.
Remove the network cable and try again to establish a
connection.
This non-secured condition should be used only for testing, to find out whether a WLAN connection is possible
at all.
If the attempt to connect to the WLAN using the non-encrypted connection is not successful either, check the installation
of the WLAN adapter and contact the manufacturer of the
WLAN adapter if necessary.
Enable WLAN encryption again after completing the tests. Follow the steps listed above and then enable the kind of encryption that was previously configured.
88
WLAN Connection Is Not Established
Installing the Current Service Pack
The WLAN connection to the FRITZ!Box cannot be established
using the Microsoft WLAN Service (WZC) in Windows XP with
Service Pack 2.
Cause
The required Microsoft patch for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) may not
be installed.
Help
Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP, available as a
free download from Microsoft. Then Microsoft WLAN Service
will support WPA2, so that a WLAN connection can be established to the FRITZ!Box.
Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless
Networks
If there are other devices in the immediate vicinity of your
FRITZ!Box that use the same frequency band, simultaneous
use of frequencies can result in mutual interference (for example, fluctuations or interrupted connections). Disruptions
can be caused by other WLAN access points, but also by devices like baby monitors, game consoles, garage door openers, Bluetooth devices, or wireless AV bridges, which also use
the 2.4-GHz frequency band. In this case, please test a different radio channel for your FRITZ!Box.
Alternatively, you can set the radio channel to “Auto”. This
enables the Autochannel function, so that the
FRITZ!Box searches for the best WLAN channel itself.
For applications that rely on a steady, high throughput rate
(“streaming”), you should use the 5-GHz frequency band.
This radio band provides more channels and is subject to significantly less external interference.
To set the radio channel in the user interface, your computer
must be connected with the FRITZ!Box by network cable or
wirelessly. If your computer is connected via WLAN, continue
with Step 2 of the instructions below. In this case, note that
89
WLAN Connection Is Not Established
the existing WLAN connections is interrupted as soon as you
apply the changed settings. Afterward you have to reconnect
your computer with the FRITZ!Box.
1.
Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network cable. Proceed as described in the section Connecting a
Computer to the LAN Port from page 16.
2.
Start a web browser.
3.
Enter fritz.box in the address field.
4.
Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu.
5.
Select the option “Adjust radio channel settings”.
6.
Select a different radio channel from the “Radio channel”
list.
7.
Click the “Apply” button.
8.
Remove the network cable and check whether interference continues to occur.
Avoid WLAN Channels with DFS
The FRITZ!Box loses the WLAN connection in the 5-GHz frequency band for no apparent reason.
Cause
In the 5-GHz frequency area the access point is programmed
to change the channel whenever a radar source transmits on
the same channel (Dynamic Frequency Selection, DFS).

Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
10.4
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
The FRITZ!Box has its own DHCP server, which assigns IP addresses to the connected computers. The connected computers must be configured such that they can receive their IP addresses automatically. The steps for checking and adjusting
this option differ among the operating systems. See the relevant section for your operating system.
If FRITZ!Box is operated in a network, no other DHCP server
may be activated in this network.

1.1
Network Cable
Additional network cable is required if you would like to use
all of the FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable network ports.
The network cable (yellow) of the FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable is a
standard category 5 (Cat5) Ethernet cable. If you need a replacement cable, a longer cable or an extension, please use a
standard STP-type (Shielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cable of
category 5 or 5e (Cat5 or Cat5e). To extend the cable you will
need a shielded RJ45 double coupling (Cat5 or Cat5e) with a
1:1 pin assignment. You can use both straight cables and
crosslink cables. All components are available from specialized vendors.
When components of a smaller category are used, reduced
transmission rates may result.

More about WLAN
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) is a radio technology
that allows networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to
share one wireless Internet connection.
2.1
Standards
The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b,
IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE).
The standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and
IEEE 802.11n define the transmission rate within a wireless
LAN. The IEEE 802.11i standard is a security standard.
Standards for the Throughput Rate
Data Throughput
The FRITZ!Box supports your choice of the standards
IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n.
WLAN adapters based on one or more of the standards listed
can be used for WLAN connections with the FRITZ!Box.
The standards are intended for different frequency bands.
Standard

100 Mbit/s
The throughputs listed differentiate between gross and net
transmission rates. The net speed describes the transmission
rate of the user data.
106
Standards
Range
The range within a WLAN is highly dependent on the following
factors:
•
•
•
the WLAN adapter used
the structural conditions
the amount of radio traffic on the same frequency band.
Other wireless networks may be active, but also microwave ovens, baby monitors, game consoles, garage door
openers, audio-video bridges, or Bluetooth transmitters
(for instance, in mobile telephones).
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G
To increase the WLAN range, especially under difficult or
strongly-shielding structural conditions, the FRITZ!WLAN
Repeater N/G, available as an accessory from AVM, can be
used in combination with the FRITZ!Box. It is especially easy
to install and can be operated at any 230-V power outlet. Everything you need to know about the FRITZ!WLAN
Repeater N/G can be found at the web address:
www.avm.de/en/Produkte/FRITZ_WLAN/FRITZ_WLAN_
Repeater_N_G/
IEEE 802.11a
Because this standard works exclusively in the seldom used
5-GHz range, it offers the opportunity to transmit data relatively free of interference from external influences. WLAN
adapters that support 802.11a are much less common that
devices that work in accordance with the 802.11b/g standard.
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.
107
Standards
IEEE 802.11g
This is currently the most common WLAN standard. It communicates with a maximum of 54 Mbit/s gross 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.
IEEE 802.11n
This standard allows for high throughput rates and ranges.
The FRITZ!Box supports 802.11n in the 2.4-GHz frequency
band, or, if desired, also in the 5-GHz frequency band. Modulation processes and antenna techniques like MIMO (Multiple
Input, Multiple Output) use the entire frequency band available more effectively than the older standards.
The use of the 802.11n standard – and thus the availability
of higher throughput rates – is possible only if the WLAN connection is secured using the WPA2 security mechanism (AESCCMP).
Thanks to compatibility with the 802.11g standard, you can
also continue to use older WLAN adapters.
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box
The throughput rate that can be achieved in your WLAN radio
network depends on the WLAN standards used by the integrated WLAN adapters. These WLAN standards must also be
set in the FRITZ!Box. Proceed as follows to check which WLAN
standards are set and change them if needed:
1.
Start a web browser.
2.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface by entering the address fritz.box.
3.
Make sure that the expert mode is enabled in the “System / Expert Mode” menu.
4.
Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel”.
108
Standards
5.
Select the “Adjust radio channel settings” option.
6.
Select the desired standard in the “WLAN Standard” list.
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 adjust the FRITZ!Box
settings according to the following information:
•
Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that
are compatible with one or both of the following standards:
802.11n
802.11g
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+g
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
•
Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that
are compatible with one or both of the following standards:
802.11b
802.11g
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11b+g
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
109
Standards
•
Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that
are compatible with one or several of the following standards:
802.11n
802.11g
802.11b
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+g+b
The 2.4-GHz frequency band will be used.
•
Your radio network integrates only WLAN adapters that
are compatible with one or both of the following standards:
802.11n
802.11a
Set the following mode in the FRITZ!Box:
Mode: 802.11n+a
The 5-GHz frequency band will be used.
110
Security
The Standard for Security
IEEE 802.11i
The WPA2 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 AESCCMP encryption process.
Mechanism
Encryption
WPA
TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol)
WPA2
TKIP
AES-CCMP
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.
2.2
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.
111
Security
Encryption
The most important security setting is encryption. The
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.
Enter the key in the WLAN security settings of the
FRITZ!Box. All of the WLAN adapters in your wireless network must also use this key.
•
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 encryption method you configure here 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
lower-case letters.
Default Setting
In the FRITZ!Box a method combining WPA + WPA2 encryption
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.
112
Security
Recommendation
If your WLAN adapter supports an encryption method that is
more secure than the one preconfigured in the 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 network 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 WPA 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 FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick N). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can
be deciphered within minutes.
113
Frequency Ranges
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
In the factory settings of the FRITZ!Box, the name of the wireless network (SSID = Service Set Identifier) is set to
“FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable”.
If an additional device with the same network name is located in the vicinity of your FRITZ!Box it can occur that the WLAN
adapter attempts to register there. Therefore we recommend
changing the preset SSID to a name of your choice.
2.3
Frequency Ranges
WLAN uses the frequency ranges at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz as its
transmission range.
With the FRITZ!Box you can establish WLAN connections in either the 2.4-GHz or the 5-GHz frequency range.
2.4-GHz frequency band
In the 2.4-GHz frequency band WLAN works in the same range
as Bluetooth, microwave devices and various other devices
like radio-controlled toys, garage-door openers and video
bridges. This means that interference may occur within
WLANs operated in the vicinity of such devices. Generally this
has adverse effects on the transmission rate, including aborted connections.
In the 2.4-GHz frequency range the European regulation authorities have designated 13 channels for WLAN. A channel
can have a bandwidth of 20 MHz (throughput up to
130 Mbit/s) or 40 MHz (throughput of up to 300 Mbit/s).
Channels located directly next to each other in the 2.4-GHz
band may overlap and result in mutual interference. For instance, if several WLANs are operated close to each other in
the 2.4-GHz frequency range with a bandwidth of 20 MHz, a
distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used. This means that if channel 1
is selected for one WLAN, the channels 6 through 13 can be
selected for a second WLAN. This maintains the minimum distance between channels.
114
Frequency Ranges
WLAN Autochannel
With the WLAN autochannel function, the FRITZ!Box automatically searches for the channel subject to the least interference. This process takes into consideration interference from
radio networks in the vicinity (WLAN access points) and potential sources of interference (for instance video bridges, baby monitors, microwave ovens). 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 Ruling Out Interference Caused by
Other Wireless Networks from page 89.
5-GHz Frequency Band
The FRITZ!Box can operate in the 5-GHz frequency band as an
alternative. This frequency range is used much less often
than the most common 2.4-GHz frequency range.
In the 5-GHz frequency band, your FRITZ!Box occasionally
may change channels automatically due to DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) if a “higher-privileged user” simultaneously claims the channel selected by the FRITZ!Box. This can happen especially when military or civilian radar is used in the
immediate vicinity. For more information, see the section
Avoid WLAN Channels with DFS on page 90.
A prerequisite for use of the 5-GHz frequency band is that all
WLAN devices in the network support this frequency range in
accordance with the IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 8002.11n standard.
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
The FRITZ!Box works in the wireless network either in the 2.4GHz range or in the 5-GHz range, but not parallel in both frequency ranges at the same time.
115
Frequency Ranges
Bandwidth
In both frequency ranges you can select between channel
bandwidths of 20 MHz or 40 MHz (exception: channel 140 in
the 5-GHz frequency band). The FRITZ!Box initially attempts
to select a channel with 40 MHz bandwidth (throughput up to
300 Mbit/s). If this is not possible due to interference or
channels already being used by other WLANs in the vicinity,
the FRITZ!Box automatically switches temporarily to a channel with 20 MHz bandwidth. Greater bandwidth provides for
higher data throughput:
Bandwidth (MHz)
Maximum Data Throughput (Mbit/s)
20
130
40

FRITZ!Box.
124
DHCP Server
3.5
DHCP Server
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with its own DHCP server. The
DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. The
following range of IP addresses is reserved for the DHCP server in the factory settings:
192.168.178.20 - 192.168.178.200
This IP address can be changed as needed.
Every time the operating system on a computer connected
with FRITZ!Box is started, the DHCP server assigns it an IP address from the IP address range of the DHCP server.
Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that
all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box are located
in the same IP network.
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 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically from

More About: Internet Telephony
Voice over IP (VoIP)
Internet telephony has already been in use for years, but today it allows even private customers the convenience familiar
from conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower
prices.
Internet telephony has also made it considerably more convenient to use applications like conference calls and answering
machines in networks. Further advantages include global
availability at a single telephone number, and the development of new standards for security and voice quality.
Data Transfer
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.

More about: Virtual Private Network (VPN)
Via VPN a secure remote access to the network of the FRITZ!Box can be
established.
•
•
The VPN solution for the FRITZ!Box is based on the IPSec standard.
•
•
Eight simultaneous active VPN connections are supported.
•
A free VPN client for individual computers can also be downloaded
from the AVM web site.
Computer-LAN coupling and LAN-LAN coupling: VPN connections
can be set up for individual remote computers or even for remote
networks.
The configuration files for the VPN connections are created using a
separate program. The program is provided free of charge and can
be downloaded from the AVM web site.
This chapter is a short introduction to the subject of VPN. The
AVM web site offers a Service Portal which presents comprehensive information on VPN in general and in connection with
the FRITZ!Box. Visit this portal to obtain more detailed information.

5.1
What Is VPN?
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN uses the
Internet as its physical base and provides for secure data
transmission.
All computers registered in the network are connected with
each other over the Internet so that they can exchange data.
Data transmission takes place over IP, as in the local network.
In a pure transmission over IP the data are not protected and
thus exposed to unauthorized access by third parties.
Security in a VPN is ensured by transmitting the data encrypted via what is known as a tunnel. This excludes the possibility of unauthorized access to the data. The tunnel is the logical, virtual connection.
129
Security through a VPN
Local network B
Local network A
Tunnel
Internet
The terminals of the tunnels can be individual computers or
entire networks. For instance, telecommuters or field staff can
connect to the company network via VPN. The local network
at a branch office can also be connected to the local network
of company headquarters via VPN. Both of the locations securely connected over VPN must have an Internet connection
at their disposal.
5.2
Security through a VPN
A VPN fulfills the following security requirements for data
transmission:
•
•
•
authenticity
confidentiality
integrity
Authenticity
Authenticity ensures that no unauthorized users can access
the local network via VPN.
It also makes sure that incoming data actually come from the
registered party and not from another source.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality requires the nondisclosure of data. Confidentiality can be guaranteed by encrypting the data. Encryption
means that unauthorized third parties cannot obtain any
knowledge about the transmitted data.
130
Tunnel Technology
Integrity
Integrity ensures that the data are not changed, recorded or
diverted during transmission.
The VPN tunnel fulfills these security requirements. The VPN
tunnel is implemented using a tunnel protocol.
5.3
Tunnel Technology
A tunnel is created by placing an IP packet to be transmitted
inside of an additional, new IP packet.
An IP packet is composed of the IP header and the user data.
The IP header contains the IP address of the destination and
the IP address of the sender.
The original packet is encrypted and authenticated before repacking.
New
IP header

•
The IP addresses of the destination and the sender in
the new IP header are the public IP addresses of the two
VPN parties in the Internet. Only the new IP header can
be read in the Internet in clear text.
•
Thanks to the encryption and authentication, the original packet remains concealed in the inside of the tunnel.
The IP addresses of the destination and sender in the IP
header of the original packet are private IP addresses in
the local network.
131
Supplementary Software for VPN
The tunnel is what makes it possible to connect networks
with private IP addresses via the Internet. Moreover, the tunnel secures the connection.
The VPN solution used with the FRITZ!Box uses the IPSec tunnel protocol.
IPSec is a tunnel protocol that offers state-of-the-art encryption procedures and can be integrated seamlessly into existing IP networks. The AES encryption algorithm is used in the
FRITZ!Box VPN solution. AES is currently the most modern encryption algorithm.
5.4
Supplementary Software for VPN
All of the information required for a VPN is saved in a configuration file. The terminals involved in any VPN must receive
this file.
If an individual computer is integrated into a network via a
VPN, the computer must have a VPN client installed.
•
The “FRITZ!Box VPN” Configuration Wizard
AVM provides the “FRITZ!Box VPN” software for creating
configuration files. This program is a Wizard that takes you
step by step through the VPN configuration. All of the necessary VPN settings, like the encryption method and access rules, are set automatically. The resulting configuration files must be imported to the respective terminals of
the VPN tunnel. At the terminal with the FRITZ!Box the configuration file is then imported to the FRITZ!Box. The VPN
parameters in these files can be adjusted manually to connect to products by other manufacturers.
•
The “FRITZ!VPN” VPN Client
AVM offers the “FRITZ!VPN” software as a VPN client.
Both the Wizard and the client can be downloaded free of
charge from the VPN Service Portal on the AVM web site:

More about: Band Width Management and Prioritization
6
More about: Band Width Management and
Prioritization
Integrated bandwidth management ensures high speech quality for
telephone calls over the Internet with the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box also offers a prioritization function that can be used to divide network applications and network devices into three different categories. The category assigned determines whether an application or device is treated with higher or lower priority when it accesses the Internet.
6.1
Band Width Management
The 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. The FRITZ!Box adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Because the
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 signal.
6.2
The Prioritization of Network Applications and Network Devices
Prioritization is a function you can use to specify that network
applications and network devices be treated with higher or
lower priority when they access the Internet connection. For
example, you may wish to ensure that applications like Internet telephony, IPTV and video on demand are always treated
with higher priority than other applications. You can also
specify that file-sharing applications like eMule and BitTorrent always have to wait behind online games.
The following algorithm is used in the FRITZ!Box to send data
packets according to their prioritization:
•
Change in the order in which packets are sent to the
Internet (upstream direction)
The order of the packets the FRITZ!Box receives from the
Internet (downstream direction) cannot be changed.
133
The Prioritization of Network Applications and Network Devices
•
Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the transmission of higher-priority packets. This algorithm is
used whenever more packets are supposed to be sent to
the Internet than the upstream transmission rate of the
Internet connection alllows.
•
As long as no packets are being sent from higher-priority
applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet
connection is available for low-priority packets.
Categories for Prioritization
There are three categories for prioritization: “Real-time applications”, “Prioritized applications” and “Background applications”. The categories are explained below.
•
Real-time applications
This category is suitable for applications with high demands on transmission speed and reaction times (for
example, Internet telephony, IPTV, video on demand).
– Network applications of this category always have
priority over other applications accessing the Internet at the same time.
– When the Internet connection is working at full capacity, the network packets of the applications of
this category will always be sent first. In this case data from network applications assigned to other categories, like “Prioritized applications”, will be transmitted later.
– If multiple network applications are assigned to this
category, then they must share the available capacity.
– Whenever Internet telephony is included in this category, this application always has the highest priority,
even over other real-time applications.
134
The Prioritization of Network Applications and Network Devices
•
Prioritized applications
This category is suitable for applications that require a
fast reaction time (for example, company access, terminal applications, games).
– For network applications prioritized in this category,
90% of the FRITZ!Box’s upload bandwidth is available, as long as no application from the “Real-time
applications” category requires bandwidth. The remaining 10% of the upload bandwidth is available
for applications that are prioritized in lower categories or not prioritized at all.
– If multiple network applications are assigned to the
“Prioritized applications” category, then they must
share the available capacity.
•
Background applications
This category is suitable for applications that do not require any high transmission speed and which are not
time-critical (for example, peer-to-peer services or automatic updates).
– Network applications assigned to this category are
always treated with the lowest priority when the
Internet connection is working at full capacity. So
whenever an application from a different category or
a non-prioritized application requires the entire
bandwidth, all background applications must wait
until bandwidth capacity becomes available again.
– If no other network applications are active, then the
background applications receive the entire bandwidth.
Network applications and network devices are assigned to
the categories using rules.
135
The Prioritization of Network Applications and Network Devices
In order to use prioritization, the “Expert Mode” must be enabled in the user interface of the FRITZ!Box.
1.
Start a web browser on your computer and enter fritz.box
in the address field of the browser.
2.
Click “Expert Mode” in the “System” menu, enable the
setting “Show expert settings” and confirm this setting
by clicking “Apply”.

DDNS
abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name System
DDNS is a service which allows a PC always to be reached under the same domain name despite constantly changing public IP addresses. This means the home network can always be
reached from the Internet, regardless of the user’s location.
Even private users have an economical way of placing their
own Internet offers on their PC at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet
provider assigns a new public IP address.
Each time the IP address changes, the current IP address is
transmitted to a special DDNS server. Except for the few seconds between the cancellation of the old IP address and the
notification of the new IP address, the computer can always
be reached at the selected domain name.
DECT
abbreviation for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications
DECT is a European standard for cordless telephony which
was drafted by the European Telecommunications Standards
Institute in 1992 and officially adopted in 1992. DECT defines
the air interface between a mobile handset and its base station, and supports both voice transmission and data transmission with flexible transfer speeds.

DHCP
abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP is a protocol for dynamically negotiating the operating
parameters of the TCP/IP protocol (see glossary entry). The
PCs in a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems’ start procedure.
The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts caused by IP
addresses (see glossary entry) accidentally assigned more
than once.
DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary entry).
DHCP Server
The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that is 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 range of IP
addresses.
DHCP is used in IPv4 networks (see glossary entry).
DNS
abbreviation for Domain Name System
Domain Name Service takes care of determining the IP address for a given domain name. This Domain Name Service
runs on every PC. It accepts the domain name entered by a
user and inquires about the corresponding IP address at a
DNS server known to the service. If a DNS server cannot answer the inquiry itself, it can inquire about the IP address
(DNS resolution) at other DNS servers.
If the Domain Name Service receives negative information
from the DNS server (domain name not known), it can send
inquiries to other DNS servers it knows or return a corresponding error message to the user. If it receives the desired
IP address instead, the application can use the IP address to
retrieve the destination desired by the user.
145
Glossary
This hierarchical system of DNS servers is known as the Domain Name System. The addresses of the DNS servers at
which the Domain Name Service is to inquire by default generally are handed over to the PC by the Internet Service Provider automatically whenever a connection to the Internet is established.
DOCSIS
abbreviation for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification
DOCSIS is an international standard for data transmission in
a broadband cable network. DOCSIS specifies the interfaces
of cable modems.
DOCSIS was developed by CableLabs, a consortium of cable
network operators, and ratified by the ITU.
The first version of the standard was DOCSIS 1.0. The DOCSIS
2.0 and DOCSIS 3.0 standards contain technical extensions.
A major feature of DOCSIS is its support for channel bundling.
EuroDOCSIS adapted DOCSIS to the European market.
Download
Download designates the transfer of files from the Internet to
a computer.
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.
146
Glossary
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.
File System
A file system saves and manages files on a data medium (for
instance, a hard drive or flash drive). The way the files are
stored varies from one file system to the next.
The different operating systems offer different file systems. In
Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP the file systems
FAT32 and NTFS are used most frequently. The file system of a
data storage medium can be changed, for instance from
FAT32 to NTFS.
Firewall
A firewall protects a PC or local network against attacks from
the Internet.
Most firewalls work with packet filters, which merely check
the IP addresses and port numbers of incoming and outgoing
data packets and filter the packets according to prescribed
rules.
Within IPv4 networks, some firewalls also integrate additional concepts like IP masquerading and NAT to decouple data
traffic by distinguishing strictly between the internal and external network.
Especially effective firewalls go even further, analyzing and
evaluating the contents of the packets and filtering them according to prescribed rules. Such techniques may also include a Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall, for instance.
Firmware
Firmware designates software that is embedded in electronic
devices. Firmware is saved in programmable components
within a device. Through the possibility of updating the firmware by PC at any time, manufacturers enjoy great flexibility
147
Glossary
in reacting to the demands of the operational environment,
integrating new functions requested by customers, and eliminating errors discovered after production.
Fixed IP Address
Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses (see glossary entry)
which are permanently assigned to a PC or another device
like a network printer.
Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a
PC is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address
(for instance, a web server or e-mail server).
FTP
The File Transfer Protocol allows files to be exchanged between two computers operating in the Internet. Data exchange takes place via an FTP server and what is known as an
FTP client. The more convenient FTP clients are available as
stand-alone software or are components of some ISDN data
transfer software; simple FTP clients are now included in many web browsers.
Gateway
Gateway is a general term designating an interface between
two networks. Such a network interface can be realized using
a router or a bridge, for instance.
If a PC wants to transfer data packets to a PC in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gateway. To do
this, the PC must know the address of the gateway.
If all packets that cannot be delivered in a local network always are to be transmitted to their given recipients via the
same gateway, for this purpose the address of the gateway
must be saved as the default gateway in the network settings
of the PC.
If a router is used for the shared Internet access in a local network, the IP address of the router must be entered as the default gateway in the TCP/IP settings of each PC that wishes to
use the Internet connection.
148
Glossary
IP
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 Address
In IP-based networks, for instance in the Internet and local
networks, all connected devices are addressed via their IP addresses. 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.
IPv6 addresses are structured differently from IPv4 addresses. IP addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadecimal format.
IP Masquerading
IP masquerading is a technique used within IPv4 networks.
By means of IP masquerading a PC or LAN can be protected
from unauthorized connection requests from the Internet.
Masquerading works by converting the IP addresses used in a
network to one public IP address. From the outside it appears
that all requests are sent from a single PC.
IP Network
A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of
the Internet Protocol (IP) is called an IP network.

Glossary
IPv4
abbreviation for Internet Protocol version 4
IPv4 is currently the conventional Internet protocol.
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, such that IPv4 offers an address space of 232 IP addresses, or just over four billion. The
latest estimates suggest that the last IPv4 addresses will be
assigned by the beginning of 2012.
The successor protocol to IPv4 is IPv6.
IPv6
abbreviation for Internet Protocol version 6
The successor protocol to IPv6 is IPv4.
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. This means that IPv6 makes
approximately 340 undecillion (~ 3.4 x 1036) IPv6 addresses
available. Each private user can be allotted over 17 quintillion public IPv6 addresses from his or her Internet provider.
The dearth of addresses in IPv4 is only one of the reasons for
introducing IPv6. IPv6 also offers additional advantageous
characteristics in the framework of communication within IP
networks.
NAS Functionality
NAS is the abbreviation for Network Attached Storage
NAS designates one or more devices that are integrated into a
network to provide storage space.
In connection with the FRITZ!Box, NAS functionality means
that various services for connected USB memory are available
in the FRITZ!Box so that it easier for you to use your data and
make them available in the local network. It is easy to exchange documents in the local network via the storage medium on the FRITZ!Box. The media server makes music, pictures
and videos in the network available to compatible playback
devices. Files can also be released for sharing in the Internet,
and local memory expanded by adding online storage.
150
Glossary
NAT
abbreviation for Network Address Translation
NAT is a technique used within IPv4 networks. NAT is used in
routers to replace the address information in data packets
with new address information. A typical application for NAT is
routers that connect local networks with the Internet. In local
networks, every network device has a private IP address,
while generally there is only one public IP address available
for the Internet. To grant the network devices access to the
Internet, the router replaces the private IP address of the
sender with its own public IP address in all outgoing data
packets. The router saves all necessary information in a table
so that incoming data packets can then be assigned to the
correct network device.
Outside Dialing Prefix
For outside dialing from a telephone system, often the telephone number must be prefixed with a “0”.
In order to establish a call with another telephone line on a
telephone system, first dial the outside dialing prefix and
then the external number. If no outside dialing prefix is dialed, the call will be placed within the telephone system.
If automatic outside dialing is enabled on the telephone system, the outside dialing prefix is automatically dialed before
the telephone number.
Port
So that a single network connection on a PC can be used by
multiple applications to exchange data with remote sites at
the same time, a PC administers what are known as ports for
the IP-based protocols TCP and UDP. Ports substantiate the
point of access for the data packets delivered via the IP Internet protocol. While the IP address determines the destination
computer quite generally, the port addresses the communication interface provided by an application for a certain communication procedure.
151
Glossary
The Internet protocol allots 16 bits for the specification of the
port number. Thus a total of 65,535 different port numbers
can be specified. Ports up to port number 1,024 are reserved
for special system applications and typical Internet applications. These include, for instance, the port numbers 21 for
FTP (File Transfer Protocol), 25 for SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol), 53 for DNS (Domain Name Service) and 80 for HTTP
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol).
Ports are primarily of interest to users for their role in protecting an Internet connection from external attacks. Most firewalls offer the possibility of preventing data traffic on certain
ports. This means that certain port numbers can be blocked
to prevent data from being delivered to system services. This
is also a way of preventing any Trojans that may have infected
your computer from receiving data on ports it created as
means of accessing your PC for potentially damaging activities. A firewall blocks most of the atypical port numbers not
required for normal operation of an application and offers
specialized users the opportunity to forward specified ports.
Port Forwarding
With port forwarding it is possible to specify ports that will allow all incoming or outgoing data packets to pass through a
router or firewall.
If a PC from the local network offers server services, for instance, the settings of a router using NAT (see glossary entry)
or IP masquerading (see glossary entry) must enable or forward the port used by the server service for access to incoming data packets and thus keep it open permanently. The private IP address of the given PC must be saved as the destination address for all of the packets arriving at the port.
Typical server applications what require port forwarding are
FTP and Web servers. To allow access to a PC via remote management software like Symantec PC-Anywhere or Microsoft's
Remote Desktop, or even use of a file-sharing program like
eDonkey, the required ports must be released for port forwarding. Port forwarding settings for the most important ap-
152
Glossary
plication cases are quite simple as long as the settings of the
router or the firewall already contain rules with a corresponding preconfiguration.
Private IP Address
Private IP addresses are used for PCs and other network devices within local IPv4 networks.
Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Internet except via single PCs 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.
Public IP Address
A public IP address is an IP address (see glossary entry) valid
in the Internet. Every PC 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 PC or router for the duration of an Internet session.
Stick & Surf
Stick & Surf is a technique developed by AVM for the fast,
simple, error-free and secure configuration of radio networks.
This technique allows for the straightforward transmission of
all important parameters of a radio network from the access
point to any computer that is to be added to the radio cell.
In this process the radio parameters used, including the
WLAN channel, SSID and WLAN standard used, as well as security parameters like the encryption method and network
key, are transferred almost fully automatically from the WLAN
access point to the computer with the WLAN client that is to
be connected.
153
Glossary
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 (see
glossary entry).
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address (see
glossary entry) is the network address and which the address
of the computer. The network address defines what is called
the subnet.
TCP/IP
abbreviation for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
TCP/IP is the “language” of the Internet. TCP/IP is used to refer to a suite of protocols used for data communication over
the Internet. TCP and IP are the network and transport protocols underlying most Internet services, including file transfer
(FTP) and e-mail communication (SMTP). TCP/IP is available
for practically all computer systems. TCP/IP thus offers the
advantage of trouble-free communication between otherwise
incompatible networks and systems.
Update
A more recent version of software or firmware is called an update. Updates are often free of charge, resolve minor programming errors, and sometimes also offer new functions.
Upload
This term designates the procedure of transmitting files from
one’s own PC to another computer in the Internet.
154
Glossary
UPnP
abbreviation for Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is an extension of the Microsoft Plug & Play standard
that allows devices to network globally and to exchange services—without a central server or computer.
UPnP allows devices from all kinds of manufacturers (stereo
systems, routers, printers, house controls) to be controlled
via an IP-based network, with or without central control
through a gateway. It is based on a number of standardized
network protocols and data formats. Expressed simplistically,
devices can communicate with each other automatically using UPnP to exchange information.
Today the UPnP forum specifies the UPnP standard and certifies devices that are compliant with this standard.
UPnP AV
abbreviation for Universal Plug and Play Audio/Video
UPnP AV is a UPnP specification for the interaction between
the media server, playback devices and devices controlling
the streaming of audio and video data within networks. Media servers are devices that make audio and video data available upon request. Playback devices render the audio and
video data (television, stereo system, streaming clients). Control devices are remote controls.
VPN
abbreviation for Virtual Private Network
VPN serves to integrate devices from a neighboring network
into your own network, without the networks having to be
compatible with each other.
A VPN is generally an independent company network distributed over several locations, which uses the infrastructure of a
public communications network to link its partial networks or
to link individual PCs to the rest of the network. A VPN uses
tunneling technologies and typically builds on the infrastructure of the Internet.
155
Glossary
Using a Virtual Private Network it is possible to use all network applications of the company network even from distant
locations. This means it is possible to use the advantages of
the network even over large geographical distances.
VPN facilitates optimum information flow without delay
throughout the entire company, even to offices in other locations. E-mail servers, file sharing and other central applications of the company network can thus be made available via
VPN even to distant branch offices, subsidiaries and home offices. With VPN, field representatives of a company can also
be granted secure access to the company network.
VoIP
abbreviation for Voice over IP, also known as Internet telephony
Voice over IP makes telephone calls possible via the Internet.
The technology has already been in use for years, but today it
allows even private customers the convenience familiar from
conventional telephony, usually at significantly lower prices.
VoIP has also made it considerably more convenient to use
applications like conference calls and answering machines in
networks. Added to this are global accessibility under a single telephone number and new VoIP features like the Buddy
List known from chat rooms.
Internet telephony used to be possible only with a headset
connected to the computers of the callers and their conversation partners. Today voice connections via the Internet, even
to fixed-line and mobile networks, can be conducted conveniently using VoIP telephone systems that allow already existing analog telephones to be used even when the PC is
switched off. Various Internet Service Providers and telephony carriers provide SIP-fixed-line gateways for this purpose.
Such a gateway is used to produce voice connections between the Internet and conventional telephone networks. In
principle VoIP conversations are possible via every Internet
access point, but for convenient use with existing terminal
equipment, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile networks, it is important that the Internet provider sup-
156
Glossary
port what is known as the SIP standard. SIP is the current
standard defined for VoIP by the IETF (Internet Engineering
Task Force).
WLAN
abbreviation for Wireless Local Area Network
The term WLAN designates the industry standard for wireless
local networks passed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1997 under the title IEEE 802.11.
By means of WLAN technology, individual PCs or network devices like printers or DSL access points can be linked wirelessly to an existing cable-connected local network (LAN), or
LANs can be converted completely to a wireless structure. A
further useful purpose for WLAN technology is to link segments of existing cable-connected networks.
Although WLAN was actually developed only for short-range
connections, by cascading WLAN access points or implementing transmission networks with high-power point-to-point radio transmission, even network segments located further
from each other can be linked or network participants in relatively remote locations can be economically and easily integrated into an existing network.
WLAN access points often also serve as access points to the
Internet in private or public institutions. Many airports, hotels
and cafes, for instance, make WLAN hotspots available to
their customers, either free or subject to a charge. Ultimately
this has maneuvered WLAN into serious competition with mobile UMTS technology.
The application possibilities for wireless network communication also overlap with Bluetooth technology. For mobile devices with limited energy capacity Bluetooth is the more useful solution, however, as Bluetooth uses considerably less
power than wireless LAN. What is more, Bluetooth technology
is more flexible and thus can offer a greater bandwidth of potential applications.
