USB Network Storage
The FRITZ!Box offers you the possibility of making USB stor-
age devices available in the Windows network as network
drives. Files in the USB memory then can be opened and pro-
cessed directly on the USB mass storage device.
Media Server
With this option music, image and video files on the USB stor-
age device can be played back by compatible devices
(streaming). The USB storage device with the media collec-
tion 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 de-
tection, recognize events, and exchange data with each other
accordingly. With UPnP AV this technology has been expand-
ed 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.

USB Printer at the USB Remote Connection

were connected directly to your computer (virtual cable re-
placement).
