The FRITZ!Box User Interface The FRITZ!Box User Interface The FRITZ!Box has a user interface you can open in a web browser on your computer. In the user interface you can set up the FRITZ!Box, enable or disable functions and receive information on the FRITZ!Box and on your con- nections.
The FRITZ!Box overview page In the upper area of the window the FRITZ!Box is displayed with its complete product name, the currently installed ver- sion of FRITZ!OS, and its current energy consumption.
Standard View and Advanced View The FRITZ!Box user interface has two views: the standard view and the advanced view. In the standard view all of the settings required for everyday operation of the FRITZ!Box are at your disposal.
Protecting the User Interface with a Password Protecting the User Interface with a Password You can protect the user interface of the FRITZ!Box with a password. The password will be requested every time the us- er interface is opened. This protects the settings of your FRITZ!Box from unauthorized access.
All of the settings you configure in your FRITZ!Box can be saved in a backup file on your computer. With this backup file you can restore your settings to the FRITZ!Box at any time or load your settings to another FRITZ!Box.
Once you have connected the FRITZ!Box to your Internet connection, you must configure the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box user in- terface so that the FRITZ!Box can establish the connection to your In- ternet service provider and connect to the Internet.
This is signaled by the continued flashing of the “Power / DSL” LED. Cause The kind of DSL (Annex A, B, J or M) set in the FRITZ!Box is not the same as the annex used on your DSL line. Help Contact your Internet service provider to find out which annex is used on your DSL line.
Configuring the Internet Connection for Cable With an additional cable modem you can also use your FRITZ!Box 7330 on a cable connection. Then the Internet con- nection is established and controlled by the FRITZ!Box itself, so that in this operating mode, too, all FRITZ!Box functions (like Internet telephony, firewall) are available without restric- tion.
Router You can use the FRITZ!Box at an already existing Internet ac- cess via the “LAN 1” socket. For this the FRITZ!Box is not con- nected to the router or network. For this kind of connection the FRITZ!Box can be configured as an independent router or as an IP client in the existing network.
Page 40
Configuring the Internet Connection over LAN 1: FRITZ!Box as a Router Click “Apply”. When the settings are applied the network address range of the FRITZ!Box changes automatically.
