Accessing USB Devices
Network Access
As soon as a USB device is connected to the FRITZ!Box, all
of its functions are available in the entire network:
The files in the USB mass storage can be accessed
from the network via FTP (File Transfer Protocol), or you
can make the USB mass storage device available as a
network storage device.
USB printers are available as network printers.
USB Remote
Connection
With the USB remote connection, a computer in the net-
work can use USB devices just as if they were connected di-
rectly to the computer via the USB cable.
The USB remote connection is enabled for each USB device
class individually (USB printer, USB storage and other USB
devices).

FRITZ!Box USB Remote Connection
With the FRITZ!Box USB remote connection you can control
connections between your computer and USB devices. The
computer and the USB devices are all connected with the
FRITZ!Box.
A USB device connected to the FRITZ!Box is handed over to
a computer via the USB remote connection function. The
USB device is detected as new hardware by the operating
system on this computer, so that device software can be in-
stalled as if it were connected directly to the computer. The
USB remote connection can be enabled for various USB de-
vices, such as USB mass storage devices, printers and
scanners.
While a computer accesses a USB device via the USB re-
mote connection, the USB device is not available for other
computers in the network.
The USB remote connection can be used in Windows Vista
(32-bit) and
Windows XP (32-bit)
with Service Pack 2 or
higher.
