Internet Connection for All Computers
All of the computers connected to FRITZ!Box Fon can access
the Internet. There are two different ways of establishing an
Internet connection. Both cases require Internet account
information from an Internet Service Provider:
z
The Internet connection is established by
FRITZ!Box
Fon
.
For this the Internet account information must be
registered in FRITZ!Box Fon. In this case FRITZ!Box Fon
works as a DSL router and all computers can use the In-
ternet connection at the same time.
z
The computers connected establish the Internet con-
nections themselves.
For this, Internet access software
must be installed and the Internet account information
entered on the given computer. In this case FRITZ!Box
Fon works as a DSL modem.
Protection by the Integrated Firewall
When FRITZ!Box Fon is operated as a DSL router, the
integrated firewall protects your network from attacks from
the Internet.
Connecting USB Devices
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a USB/accessory port (also
called a USB host controller). Various USB equipment can be
connected to the USB/accessory port, including:
z
a USB mass storage device (hard drive, memory stick)
z
a printer
for connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server.
z
a USB hub
You can connect either two USB mass storage devices
