Channel Bundling
Channel bundling allows data to be transmitted from the Inter-
net using both channels. With this feature data can be down-
loaded more quickly, but transmission costs are accrued for
both channels. You can activate the second channel manually
or have it switched on automatically for high data loads. The
second channel can be released for incoming calls to other
FRITZ! modules so that you can be reached even when channel
bundling is active.
Internet Sharing
With the "Internet Sharing" feature, every computer in a net-
work can connect to the Internet via FRITZ!web.
Clearing Idle Connections Automatically
In the FRITZ!web settings you can specify how many seconds
the line is allowed to remain idle before the existing connec-
tion to the Internet is automatically cleared down. An example:
Suppose you have loaded a Web page in your browser. While
you are reading, no further data is requested over the Internet
connection. After the delay you have specified in the settings,
FRITZ!web hangs up the idle connection. Now you can continue
reading the Internet page without accruing any further charges.
The connection is not re-established until you click a link or en-
ter another URL. Thanks to FRITZ!web's fast dial-up, you will
hardly notice that the connection is being restored.
See the Online Help for detailed information about all features
and operation of FRITZ!web.
With FRITZ!fax you can send, receive and poll faxes. You can
send fax documents directly from your text processing pro-
gram. Existing files can be sent quickly and easily using the
FRITZ!fax Wizard (available in version 3.04 and above).
