FRITZ!DSL: The Software Suite
The FRITZ!DSL software suite is included in your FRITZ!Box package. The
software includes a number of programs and tools we will introduce
briefly in this chapter.
Once you have installed FRITZ!DSL, the “Start Center” icon
appears on your desktop. All of the programs in the soft-
ware package are integrated in the FRITZ!DSL Start Center,
from where they can be started directly.
The Start Center contains the following buttons:
Click the “Internet” button to start the FRITZ!DSL Internet
program. FRITZ!DSL Internet is the Internet monitoring soft-
ware for your FRITZ!Box, with which you receive more de-
tailed information about your current Internet connection.
The “Protect” button starts the FRITZ!DSL Protect program,
which checks the Internet connections and supplements
the firewall functions of your FRITZ!Box.
Click the “FRITZ!Box” button to open the user interface of
FRITZ!Box in your web browser.
Click the “Update” button to check whether a firmware up-
date for your FRITZ!Box is available on the AVM web site.
The “Diagnosis” button starts the FRITZ!DSL Diagnosis. It
displays all data relevant to your DSL connection, and
checks the installation and connection of FRITZ!Box.
Click the “Web Test” button to start the WebWatch program.
WebWatch can measure the quality of your Internet connec-
tion to any remote site.
For detailed information on configuring and using
FRITZ!DSL programs, see the corresponding Online Help
programs.
