3.2 Into the Internet with FRITZ!web

In addition to the traditional ISDN services such as file trans-
fer or telefax, FRITZ!Card also supports Internet access. You
can explore the World Wide Web, exchange e-mail or enter
chat rooms.
For detailed information on configuring and using
FRITZ!web, please see the FRITZ! Online Help.
Defining the Default Provider
After installing FRITZ!web, specify which of your Internet Ser-
vice Providers (ISPs) is your default connection to the Inter-
net. The default connection is automatically on standby
when FRITZ!web starts. When data from the Internet is re-
quested, for example, when your Web browser starts up, the
connection is dialed up automatically .
All Information at a Glance
The FRITZ!web window displays all important information
about the current connection:
The colors of four connection LEDs indicate whether a
default provider is configured, whether the B channels
are inactive, in the process of connecting or active, and
whether data compression is set for an active connec-
tion.
The diagram window reports the throughput rate for in-
coming and outgoing data.
A timer bar indicates how much time remains before an
idle connection will be cleared down automatically.
Click with the right mouse button in the diagram win-
dow to open the context menu. From this context menu
you can access all FRITZ!web commands.
