The devices automatically communicate via Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP). This technology allows the devices con-
nected to each other by cable or radio network to perform
automatic detection, recognize events, and exchange data
with each other accordingly. With UPnP AV this technology
has been expanded to audio and video contents.
The FRITZ!Musikbox makes files available in the MP3, WMA
or WAV format.
You can connect a USB printer to the USB port and either
enable the USB remote connection, or use the USB printer
as a network printer.
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.
When configured as a network printer, the USB printer can
be used simultaneously by all of the computers connected
to the FRITZ!Box.
If you would like to connect a USB printer, please note the
following:
Only printers that can be addressed with the device
class "Printer" are supported as network printers. This
is not the case for some all-in-one printers, for in-
stance combined fax-scanner-printers.
Host-based printers that work according to the GDI
system, for instance, and require bidirectional com-
munication for status messages, 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 sup-
ported as network printers.
