Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
Automatic configuration is a procedure in which the Inter-
net Service Provider sets up the Internet connection of
your FRITZ!Box completely automatically by “Plug & Play”.
Prerequisites
In order for you to be able to perform automatic configura-
tion, the following requirements must be met:
•
Your FRITZ!Box is brand new and starting operation
for the first time
or
The factory settings were restored to your existing
FRITZ!Box (see page 68) and the Internet connection
has to be set up again.
•
The provider you contracted your Internet connection
from supports automatic configuration.
If these prerequisites are not fulfilled, you can set up your
FRITZ!Box using the Configuration Wizard (see page 32).
Follow all of the information you received from your pro-
vider on configuring your Internet connection!
