USB Devices at the FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340 is equipped with two USB ports (also known as USB host controller).
The USB ports of the FRITZ!Box support the standards USB 2.0 and
USB 1.1.
Various USB devices can be connected to the USB ports:
• a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N 2.4, a FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick N or an
AVM FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
• a USB storage device (hard drive, memory stick, card reader)
• a USB printer
• a USB modem (UMTS/HSPA)
•

Network Sharing
USB Remote
Connection
As soon as a USB device is connected to the FRITZ!Box, all of its functions are available in the entire network:
•
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
•
USB printers are available as network printers.
With the USB remote connection, a computer in the network can use USB devices just as if they were connected directly to the computer via the USB cable (virtual cable replacement). This can make sense for multifunctional printers, for instance, so that you can use the integrated card reader/scanner or the ink level display.
While a computer accesses a USB device via the USB remote connection, the USB device is not available for other computers in the network.
For more information on the USB remote connection, see
the section “FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection” from page 62.

USB Printer
To connect a USB printer to one of the USB ports of the
FRITZ!Box, you can either enable the USB remote connection or use the USB printer 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 re-
mote connection (see page 62) and the suitable
printer drivers must be installed on any computer that is supposed to use the printer.
•
When the USB remote connection is enabled, all-inone 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
54
USB Printer as a Network Printer 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 some 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.

8.8
Tips for Using USB Devices
When using USB devices at the USB ports 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.
•
AVM expressly advises against performing firmware updates for USB devices connected to the computer via the USB remote connection on the FRITZ!Box.
•
Before removing a USB storage device, select the
“Remove safely” option in the FRITZ!Box user interface to prevent losses of data.
•
To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box, 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 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
Incoming calls to the FRITZ!Box telephones can be diverted to a different extension or to an external number. Call diversion takes place directly in the FRITZ!Box. This is the difference between call diversion and call forwarding, where the calls are diverted via the central exchange. How to use call forwarding by phone is described in the section
“Call Forwarding on the ISDN Line” on page 71.
Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at the same time.
Call diversion allows you to forward calls to an external line or to another extension. This kind of diversion is organized inside FRITZ!Box so that diversions to another extension are free of charge. Calls are diverted to an external number over your ISDN line’s second B channel and are subject to normal transmission charges. If the FRITZ!Box is operated on an analog telephone line, incoming calls can only be diverted to a different extension or to Internet numbers.
Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at the same time.
76
Call Diversion
Note that only numerical Internet telephone numbers can be entered for diversion to an Internet telephone number.
This means that you can enter only numerals, no letters or other characters.
You can specify the conditions under which an incoming call will be diverted. You can select one of five different options. Different settings may be saved for each extension.

You have the possibility of shortening the dialing procedure by closing your entry with the r
key.
Shortening the Dialing Procedure
<number> r indicates that a number has been dialed to shorten the dialing procedure
Selecting the Outgoing Number and the Type of
Connection
For outgoing connections you can specify the kind of connection to be used for the next dialing procedure. For this entry you can use settings already made, or circumvent the settings currently configured. In this case the dialing rules are suspended for the given dialing procedure.
By entering precisely which Internet telephony account should be used it is possible to have the dialing procedure conducted via a certain Internet telephone number, even though this number was never previously configured for the extension used.

106
Installing the Current Service Pack
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.
Possible Cause
The required Microsoft patch for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) may not be not installed.
Remedy
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 “Autochannel”. 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 (“ st reaming”), 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 below instructions. In this case, note that the existing WLAN connections is
107
Avoiding WLAN Channels with DFS 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 Computers to the LAN Port” on page 15.
2.
Start a web browser.
3.
Enter fritz.box
in the address field.
4.
Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu.
5.
After enabling the “Adjust radio channel settings” option, select a different radio channel from the “Radio channel” list.
6.
Click the “Apply” button.
7.
Remove the network cable and check whether interference continues to occur.
Avoiding WLAN Channels with DFS
The FRITZ!Box loses the WLAN connection in the 5-GHz frequency band for no apparent reason.
Possible 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).
Remedy
A forced channel change can be avoided by selecting in the FRITZ!Box a channel for the 5-GHz frequency band that does not use DFS (channels 36, 40, 44, 48).
108
Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
10.4 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically

More about WLAN
2 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.
Data Throughput
Standards for the Throughput Rate
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 Frequency Band Gross Data Throughput up to Net Data Throughput up to
802.11a
5 GHz 54 Mbit/s 25 Mbit/s
802.11b

FRITZ!WLAN
Repeater N/G
IEEE 802.11a
IEEE 802.11b
IEEE 802.11g
IEEE 802.11n
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).
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.
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.
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 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.
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
127
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box
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 (AES-CCMP).
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 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 fritz.box
.
3.
Make sure that the expert setting is enabled in the
“System / Expert Mode” menu.
4.
Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu.
5.
Enable the “Adjust radio standard” setting.
6.
Select the setting required in the “WLAN standard” 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.
128
Setting the Right Standard in the FRITZ!Box
•
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.
•
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.
129
The Standard for Security
•
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.
IEEE 802.11i
The Standard for Security
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
AES-CCMP encryption process.
Mechanism
WPA
WPA2
Encryption
TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol)
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.
130
Security
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.
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.
131
Encryption
Default Setting
Recommendation
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.
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.
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 “TKIP (WPA)” or
“WPA+WPA2”.
– Replace the WPA network key with a new, unique value.
132
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
•
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 N). WEP is out of date and data encrypted with WEP can be deciphered within minutes.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
In the factory settings of the FRITZ!Box, the name of the wireless network (SSID) is set to “FRITZ!Box Fon
WLAN 7340”.
It may occur that an additional device with the same network name is located in the vicinity of your FRITZ!Box
. To rule out this possibility, we recommend changing the preset SSID to a name of your choice.
2.3
Frequency Ranges
2.4-GHz Frequency
Band
WLAN uses the frequency bands 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 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 band 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).
133
Frequency Ranges
WLAN Autochannel
5-GHz Frequency
Band
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.
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 wireless network are
presented in the section “Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless Networks” from page 107.
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 “Avoiding WLAN Channels with DFS” on page 108.
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.
134
Frequency Ranges
2.4 GHz or 5 GHz
Bandwidth
The FRITZ!Box works in the WLAN network either in the
2.4-GHz range or in the 5-GHz range, but not parallel in both frequency ranges at the same time.
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)
20
40
Maximum Data Throughput (Mbit/s)
130

Increasing bandwidths also increases the probability of interference by wireless networks in the vicinity. Large bandwidths reduce the frequency range available to other wireless networks in the vicinity.

Increasing the WLAN Range
The range of a WLAN radio network also always depends on external influences. The following factors have an especially strong influence on the distance over which your
FRITZ!Box can establish a stable, high-throughput wireless connection:
• the WLAN adapter used
• structural conditions at your location
• the number of devices operating near the access point in the same frequency range
You can extend the range in your wireless network yourself as needed. To do so you will need supplementary equipment not included in your FRITZ!Box package: You can either use a WLAN repeater, for instance the
FRITZ!WLAN Repeater by AVM, or use an additional WLAN access point working in repeater mode to set up a wireless distribution system. Both options are described in greater detail below.
136
Using the FRITZ!WLAN Repeater N/G
Using the 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 supports all common WLAN standards, is especially easy to install and can be operated at any 230-V power outlet.
Setting up a WDS
To extend the range in your wireless network using WDS
(Wireless Distribution System), you will need a WLAN access point in addition to the FRITZ!Box. One of the two
WLAN access points works as the WDS base station, the other as a WDS repeater. The WDS base station and WDS repeater are connected to each other via WLAN. The WDS base station then can use the WDS repeater to reach even computers that would be located beyond its range without the WDS repeater.

WDS: Expanding the WLAN range using a repeater
Note the following for WDS configuration:
•
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 Distribution System) with up to three WLAN access points.
•
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 radio range of the WDS base station.
137
Setting up a WDS
•
The FRITZ!Box can function as a WDS base station to establish the Internet connection for other WDS repeaters, or as a WDS repeater to expand the range of a WDS base station.
•
Make sure that the WDS connections between the
WDS base station and the WDS repeaters are secured using the same encryption (for instance,
WPA/WPA2). Note that the WPA2 encryption method is available only when your network consists of AVM devices, since only WEP encryption has been specified for WDS connections among all manufacturers.
•
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 in
Windows 7, Windows Vista or by the Windows XP with 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.

UPnP Settings
The Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) service included in your FRITZ!Box provides status information about the
FRITZ!Box to all connected computers. Programs with
UPnP support on these computers can receive this information and use them to display the status of the
FRITZ!Box (e.g., DSL synchronization, connection status, data transmission). UPnP service thus allows you to monitor your FRITZ!Box from a connected computer.
3.4
IP Address
Upon delivery the FRITZ!Box is assigned the following IP address:
192.168.178.1
If you would like to change the IP address, please read through the following sections. Also note the additional
information in the section “Reserved IP Addresses” on page 149.
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 local IP network in order to make the FRITZ!Box features available to all of the computers in the IP network.
148
Reserved IP Addresses
Reserved IP Addresses
The entire IP network 192.168.180.0 in the FRITZ!Box is reserved for internal purposes.
IP addresses from this network may not be assigned to the
FRITZ!Box.
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 DH-
CP 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 page 109.
149
Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled

More about Internet Telephony
4 More about Internet Telephony
Voice over IP (VoIP)
Data Transfer
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.
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.
4.1
Telephony Scenarios
If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an Internet telephone 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.

More about Virtual Private Network (VPN)
5 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.
•
Computer-LAN coupling and LAN-LAN coupling: VPN connections can be set up for individual remote computers or even for remote networks.
•
Eight simultaneous active VPN connections are supported.
•
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.
•
A free VPN client for individual computers can also be downloaded from the AVM web site.
The chapter is a short introduction to the topic of VPN. The
AVM web site offers an English-language 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 on this subject.

5.1
What Is VPN?
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a virtual, private network that uses the Internet as its physical base.
The VPN 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 tunnel. This excludes the possibility of unauthorized access to the data. The tunnel is the logical, virtual connection.
153
Security through a VPN
Local network A Local network B
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
Authenticity
Confidentiality
Integrity
A VPN fulfills the following security requirements for data transmission:
• authenticity
• confidentiality
• integrity
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 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.
Integrity ensures that the data are not changed, recorded or diverted during transmission.
154
The Tunnel Technology
The VPN tunnel fulfills these security requirements. The
VPN tunnel is implemented using a tunnel protocol.
5.3
The 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.
IP header
Data Original packet
New
IP header
IP header
Data
Tunnel packet encrypted
•
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.
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.
155
Supplementary Software for VPN
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 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 “Configure FRITZ!Box VPN” software to set up 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: www.avm.de/en/vpn

More about Bandwidth Management and Prioritization
6 More about Bandwidth Management and Prioritization
Integrated bandwidth management ensures high speech quality for telephone calls over the Internet with the FRITZ!Box.
The FRITZ!Box 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 more or less priority when it accesses the Internet.
6.1
Bandwidth 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. To do this, 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 hear 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 are 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 methods are used in the FRITZ!Box to send data packets according to their prioritization:
157
Categories for 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.
•
Discard low-priority packets in order to ensure the transmission of higher-priority packets. This method 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.
158
Categories for Prioritization
– Whenever Internet telephony is included in this category, this application always has the highest priority, even over other real-time applications.
•
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.
159

The energy consumption is shown as a percentage. The maximum power consumption value of the FRITZ!Box is the amount of energy used when all functions are in operation.
The “Energy Monitor” page shows the following:
•
“FRITZ!Box system overall”
This graph shows how much energy all of the
FRITZ!Box functions are using at the moment, and how much they use in total on an average day. When all functions and modules are working at capacity, this value equals 100%. When the load is less, the value is correspondingly lower.
•
“FRITZ!Box central processor”
The energy consumption of the CPU is displayed, both the current value and the daily average. When all functions and modules are working at capacity, this value equals 100%. When the load is less, the value is correspondingly lower.
•
The individual FRITZ!Box modules
For each module, this page displays the amount of energy being consumed at the moment and the daily average. When all functions and modules are working at capacity, this value equals 100%. When the load is less, the value is correspondingly lower.
•
“Statistics” tab
Here two diagrams show how certain device parameters of the FRITZ!Box change depending on the actions performed with the FRITZ!Box. Interested users can watch the how these changes are related over time and observe how the FRITZ!Box is affected by simultaneously making telephone calls, surfing and streaming data.

Glossary
Glossary
ADSL abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
ADSL (G.992.1/G992.2) was developed on the basis of
DSL technology in order to satisfy the increasing demand for higher throughput rates during uploading and downloading.
It designates a fast kind of data transmission that works with standard copper cables and transports signals in both directions at different speeds (upstream at
640 Kbit/s and downstream at up to 9 Mbit/s).
ADSL2 abbreviation for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line 2
ADSL2 (G.992.3) is a further development of the ADSL standard.
ADSL2 offers range much greater than did the first ADSL generation, and is significantly more robust than ADSL, as it can simply disable single carrier frequencies when they produce interference. This feature allows ADSL2 to prevent synchronization losses.
With a throughput rate of up to 12 Mbit/s downstream,
ADSL2 offers considerably greater bandwidth than ADSL.
ADSL2 is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal equipment compliant with ADSL can also be operated on ADSL2 lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2.
In practice ADSL2 has become less important since the
ADSL2+ standard has made higher throughput rates possible.
ADSL2+ abbreviation for extended bandwidth Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line 2
ADSL 2+ (G.992.5) is a further development of the ADSL standard.
168
Glossary
ADSL2+ offers a doubled frequency range used for downstream transmission, and thus double the maximum bandwidth achievable for downstream to 24 Mbit/s.
ADSL2+ is completely downward compatible, meaning that terminal equipment compliant with ADSL and ADSL2 can also be operated on ADSL2+ lines, although they cannot exploit the advantages of ADSL2+.
ADSL-Controller An ADSL-Controller is an electronic hardware module that allows a computer to access an ADSL line. ADSL-Controllers are stationary equipment, included on internal ADSL cards (for the PCI bus) or in external ADSL modems (with
USB or Ethernet ports).
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 1991 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.
default gateway see gateway
DHCP 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 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 accidentally assigned more than once.
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
169
Glossary
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.
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 computer. 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.
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 computer by the Internet
Service Provider automatically whenever a connection to the Internet is established. In local networks addresses can also be assigned via DHCP. Otherwise they must be entered manually in the TCP/IP settings of the computer by the user or the system administrator.
download Download designates the transfer of files from the Internet to a computer.
DSL modem A DSL modem connects a computer to the Internet via the
DSL line. In contrast to the analog modem, a connection via the DSL modem does not mean that the telephone line is busy.
DSL router A combination of a DSL modem and a router is called a
DSL router.
170
Glossary
DDNS abbreviation for Dynamic Domain Name System
DDNS is a service which allows a computer 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 computer at home.
Every time the Internet connection is established, the Internet Service 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.
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.
171
Glossary fixed IP address Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses which are permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a network printer.
Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases when 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 e-mail server).
firewall A firewall protects a computer 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.
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 computer at any time, manufacturers enjoy great flexibility in reacting to the demands of the operational environment, integrating new functions requested by customers, and eliminating errors discovered after production.
FTP abbreviation for File Transfer Protocol
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
172
Glossary 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 computer wants to transfer data packets to a computer in another network, it must first transmit the packet to the gateway. To do this, the computer 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 computer.
Such a default gateway for the computer is negotiated automatically by the operating system or the dialing software whenever an ISDN-Controller or ADSL-Controller establishes a connection to the Internet. 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 computer that wishes to use the Internet connection. If the TCP/IP setting is configured by means of a DHCP server, there is no need to enter the gateway address manually.
HSPA abbreviation for High Speed Packet Access
HSPA is a third-generation mobile radio standard further developed from the the UMTS mobile radio standard.
HSPA provides for throughput rates in the mobile radio network that are comparable with DSL (3.6 to
13.98 Mbit/s).
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
173
Glossary 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.
The IP address consists of four three-digit groups of numbers (for instance, 192.168.178.247). Each group of numbers can assume values between 000 and 255.
Every IP address contains two components: the network address and the host address. These two components can be read out of an IP address only if the subnet mask is also specified.
IP addresses can be public or private, and also fixed or assigned dynamically. See the corresponding entries in the
Glossary for more information.
IP addressing Addressing is one of the main functions of the Internet
Protocol (IP). Internet addresses can be written in decimal, octal or hexadecimal notation. The FRITZ!Box uses
“dotted-decimal” notation: The four bytes of an address are represented by decimal numbers separated by dots.
The total volume of Internet addresses, the address space, is separated into classes (A, B, C, D, and E). The full set of IP addresses, called the address space, is grouped into address classes designated as A, B, C, D and E. Only the first three of these five address classes are actually used. These classes can be described as follows:
Classes Properties Network Address
Decimal Value
Class A address Few networks, many hubs 0-127
Class B address Intermediate distribution of networks and hubs
128-191
Class C address Many networks, few hubs 192-223
174
Glossary
Properties of IP Address Classes
Every IP address consists of two parts: the network address and the host address. The sizes of the network address and the host address are variable, and determined by the first four bits (of the first byte) of the IP address.
IP masquerading
By means of IP masquerading a computer or LAN can be protected from unauthorized connection request 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 computer.
IP network A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of the Internet Protocol is called an IP network.
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.
NAT abbreviation for Network Address Translation
NAT is a process used in routers to replace the address information in data packets with new address information. A typical application for NAT are 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
175
Glossary 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
The outside dialing prefix is the digit dialed at an extension line to obtain an outside line. Generally this is “0”.
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.
port So that a single network connection on a computer can be used by multiple applications to exchange data with remote sites at the same time, a computer 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.
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
176
Glossary services. This is also a way of preventing any Trojans (malicious applications opening backdoors on a computer) that may have infected your computer from receiving data on ports it created as means of accessing your computer for potentially damaging activities. A firewall blocks most 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 computer from the local network offers server services, for instance, the settings of a router using NAT or IP masquerading must 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 computer must be saved as the destination address for all of the packets arriving at the port.
Typical server applications which require port forwarding are FTP and Web servers. To allow access to a computer via remote management software like Symantec pcAnywhere or Microsoft’s Remote Desktop, or even use of a file-sharing program like eMule, the required ports must be released for port forwarding. Port forwarding settings for the most important application 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 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.
177
Glossary
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.
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:
178
Glossary
Example 1
Network address of the subnet: 192.168.178.0
Address of the computer in the subnet:
192.168.178.247
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. Therefore a maximum of 254 computers can be included in the subnetwork.
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 of the subnet: 192.168.0.0
Address of the computer in the subnet:
192.168.178.247
IP address pool in the subnet: 192.168.0.0 -
192.168.255.255
That’s 65,536 IP addresses.
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.

Glossary
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.
TR-069 T-069 is an HTTP-based protocol for communication between CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) and an Auto
Configuration Server (ACS) belonging to the Internet Service Provider. The TR-069 protocol is also known under the alternative name CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP).
It offers the possibility of setting up the terminal device securely and automatically and thus, most importantly, facilitates simple initial configuration of the ADSL terminal device by the end customer (autoprovisioning).
The TR-069 protocol can be used for automatic configuration only if it is actively supported by the given terminal device. For this an Auto Configuration Client (ACC) must be integrated in the device. The specifications for automatic configuration of the ADSL terminal device are stored on the Auto Configuration Server by the given Internet Service
Provider. As soon as the ADSL terminal device initiates the autoconfiguration process, the settings are retrieved from the Auto Configuration Server and implemented in the
ADSL terminal device without any further interaction with the user. The communication between the ADSL terminal device and the Auto Configuration Server takes place in encrypted form.
UMTS abbreviation for Universal Mobile Telecommunications
System
UMTS is a third-generation (3G) mobile radio standard with throughput rates of 384 Kbit/s to 7.2 Mbit/s.
180
Glossary
The high throughput rates make it possible to support multimedia services. With special cards or USB sticks the
Internet connection can also be provided for laptops or computers via UMTS.
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 computer to another computer in the Internet.
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 the 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 (television, stereo system, streaming clients) render the audio and video data. Control devices are remote controls.
181
Glossary
VDSL abbreviation for Very High Speed Digital Subscriber Line
In Germany, the DSL technology VDSL is increasingly becoming available in the VDSL2 (G993.2) version. VDSL2 is a further development of the ADSL2+ standard, to which it is fully downward-compatible. The standard provides for throughput rates of up to 100 Mbit/s for uploading and downloading, but requires a distribution network with a more closely meshed infrastructure—a demand that is hardly economical outside of major urban areas.
VPN abbreviation for Virtual Private Network.
VPN serves to integrates 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 computers to the rest of the network. A VPN uses tunneling technologies and typically builds on the infrastructure of the Internet.
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 computer is switched off. Various Internet
Service Providers and telephony carriers provide SIP fixedline gateways for this purpose. Such a gateway is used to provide voice connections between the Internet and conventional telephone networks. In principle VoIP conversations are possible via every DSL access point, but for convenient use with existing terminal devices, and for conversations with the fixed-line and mobile networks, it is important that the DSL provider support 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 computers 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
183
Glossary 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 shortrange 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.
