What to Watch Out For
Safety Instructions
When working with the FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable, observe the following security instructions in order to protect yourself and the FRITZ!Box from harm.
• Do not install the FRITZ!Box during an electrical storm.
• Disconnect FRITZ!Box from the power supply during elec-
trical storms.
• Never let liquids get inside the FRITZ!Box. Otherwise,
electric shocks or short circuits may result.
• The FRITZ!Box is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not open the FRITZ!Box housing. The device contains
hazardous components and should only be opened by authorized repair technicians.
Handling the FRITZ!Box
You can either place FRITZ!Box on a horizontal surface or mount it on a wall. Please note the following:
• Place or hang the FRITZ!Box in a dry location that is free
of dust and protected from direct sunlight.
For ideal operating conditions, mount the FRITZ!Box on a wall with the cables connected on the bottom.
• Do not place FRITZ!Box on excessively heat-sensitive sur-
faces, as the base of the device can heat up during nor­mal operation.
• Make sure that the ventilation slits are unobstructed. For
this reason the FRITZ!Box should not be placed on a car­pet or on upholstered furniture. The ventilation slits pro­vide for air cooling of the FRITZ!Box.

port.
0
WLAN Access Point
The FRITZ!Box is a WLAN access point. All computers that sup­port WLAN can be wirelessly connected to the FRITZ!Box.
Local Network
All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box constitute a network and can share access to any files released for file sharing.
Internet
All of the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box can access the Internet.
The FRITZ!Box works as a router, making the Internet connec­tion available to all connected computers. All connected com­puters can then use the Internet connection at the same time.
11
Page 12
FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable
IPv6
The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable can be configured for IPv6. Thanks to the dual-stack concept, IPv4 can be used at the same time, parallel to IPv6.
The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable supports native IPv6 in case your In­ternet Provider offers a direct IPv6 link. IPv6 with tunnel proto­cols can be used over IPv4 links. The FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable sup­ports various tunnel protocols.
Firewall
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with an integrated firewall. The in­tegrated firewall protects your network from attacks from the Internet as long as the FRITZ!Box is operated as a router.
USB Port
The FRITZ!Box is equipped with a port for USB devices, to which you can connect USB storage devices (hard drive, stick), a print­er, one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, a USB hub or oth­er devices (see page 53).
The USB port supports the USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 standards.
If you use one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM, the AVM Stick & Surf technology is at your disposal. Use Stick & Surf to adopt the WLAN security settings from the FRITZ!Box quick­ly and conveniently.
For connecting a printer, FRITZ!Box has a printer server. Alterna­tively, the USB remote connection is available for the use of printers.
Media Server
An integrated media server makes music, image and video files available in the local network. A USB storage with a media col­lection is simply connected to the FRITZ!Box. A suitable play­back device linked to the local network can then play back these media contents. Suitable devices include FRITZ!Media and other devices compatible with the UPnP AV standard.
Network Devices
Other network devices can also be connected to the network ports of the FRITZ!Box, for instance game consoles.

USB Network Storage
The FRITZ!Box offers you the possibility of making USB stor­age devices available in the Windows network as network drives. Files in the USB memory then can be opened and pro­cessed directly on the USB mass storage device.
Media Server
With this option music, image and video files on the USB stor­age device can be played back by compatible devices (streaming). The USB storage device with the media collec­tion is simply connected to the USB port on the FRITZ!Box and a suitable playback device is linked to the local network.
The devices automatically communicate via Universal Plug & Play (UPnP). This technology allows the devices connected 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.
With the media server, media files of all kinds of formats can be made available from the connected USB storage device via UPnP.

8.4 USB Printers

To connect a USB printer to the USB port of the FRITZ!Box, you can either enable the USB remote connection, or use it as a network printer.
USB Printer at the USB Remote Connection
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 (virtual cable re­placement).
• If you want to use the printer with the USB remote con-
nection enabled, then the program for the USB remote connection (see page 54) and the suitable printer driv­ers must be installed on any computer that is supposed to use the printer.
45
Page 46
USB Printers
• When the USB remote connection is enabled, all-in-one
printers (printers with supplementary fax or scanner functions) can also be used for faxing and scanning.
• If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you can
use this feature when the USB remote connection is en­abled.
• Host-based printers, like those that expect printer status
message responses from the system (bidirectional com­munication as in the GDI system, for instance), 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 supported as network printers.
USB Printer as a Network Printer
When you connect a USB printer to the FRITZ!Box and set it up without using the “USB Remote Connection” software, the FRITZ!Box manages the printer itself and makes it available as a network printer to all computers connected to the FRITZ!Box. Please note the following for the printer setup:
• If you want to use the printer as a network printer, the
printer connection must be configured, and the suitable printer drivers installed, on every computer. Print jobs are forwarded to the IP address of the printer server in the local network via the printer port.
• Only printers that can be addressed with the device
class “Printer” are supported as network printers. This is generally not the case for multi-function devices, for in­stance combined fax-scanner-printers.
• If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, it may
not be possible to use the status monitor if the printer is operated as a network printer.
• For multi-function devices (printers with additional func-
tions like fax or scanning), only the printing function is supported for network printers.

FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

8.6 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick

The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick models are WLAN adapters manu­factured by AVM for connection to a computer. Using a WLAN adapter you can connect the computer wirelessly with the FRITZ!Box.
All FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks from AVM master the Stick & Surf method, making it easy to establish a secure WLAN connec­tion: The FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is inserted briefly into the USB port on the FRITZ!Box, where it receives all of the security settings required for the WLAN connection to this FRITZ!Box.
For instructions on establishing a WLAN connection using Stick & Surf, see the section Connecting the FRITZ!WLAN USB
Stick from page 18. For more information on the various
FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks by AVM and the WLAN standards each of them supports, see the respective manual.

8.7 USB Hub

A USB hub can be connected to the USB host controller. A USB hub is a device to extend existing USB ports.
You can connect two USB mass storage devices and one USB printer, or three USB mass storage devices (like a hard drive or memory stick) to the USB hub.
It is advisable to use a USB hub with its own power supply.

8.8 Tips for Using USB Devices

When using USB devices at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box, please keep in mind the following;
• If more than one USB device without its own power sup-
ply is connected to the FRITZ!Box, please note that, in accordance with the USB specification, the total current consumption may not exceed a value of 500 mA. Other­wise unspecified malfunctions with the USB devices or even damage to the FRITZ!Box may occur.
56
Page 57
Tips for Using USB Devices
• Before removing a USB storage device, select the “Safely
Remove” button in the FRITZ!Box user interface to pre­vent losses of data.
• To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box or the USB storage de-
vice, only operate USB storage devices that require more than one USB port for operation (for instance hard drives with a Y cable) if they have their own power supply, or use them at a USB hub with its own power supply.
• The FRITZ!Box can not defend the USB memory from ex-
ternal influences. Thus such phenomena as voltage spikes during storms may occur, and writing to older USB memory devices may corrupt the data structure due to a high number of defective structures. In such cases a complete loss of data may occur.
Therefore we recommend always backing up the USB memory content just in case data are lost on the USB storage device.

9 Configuration and Operation on the Telephone

FRITZ!Box Keypad Sequences
Many of the FRITZ!Box functions and features can be config­ured and used over a telephone connected to a FRITZ!Box ex­tension. Only tone-dialing (dual-tone multifrequency = DTMF) telephones can be used in configuration and operation. Pulse dialing telephones are not suitable.
Acknowledgment Tone
Entries input on the telephone are confirmed with acknowl­edgement tones (see also Audio Signals on page 59):
• Correct entries are confirmed with a positive acknowl-
edgement tone (a single tone of one second in length).
• If the entry was not successful, because of an incorrect
key sequence, for instance, you hear a negative ac­knowledgment tone (an intermittent tone broken into in­tervals of about 0.25 seconds).

With call diversion you can divert incoming calls. The calls are diverted to an external telephone line or to a telephone con­nected with your FRITZ!Box. The following diversions can be set up on your telephone:
• Call diversion for a telephone number: Only incoming
• Call diversion for all telephone numbers: All incoming
• Call diversion for an analog extension: All calls for the
If your telephony provider supports direct diversion of incom­ing calls, calls will be diverted by your provider. Otherwise the FRITZ!Box performs call diversion by establishing a second call for the diversion whenever a call arrives. In either case, call diversion to an external line will be charged at your con­tracted telephone rates.
For call diversion only numerical Internet telephone numbers can be entered. This means you can use only numerals, no letters or other characters.

Enabling WLAN
The wireless network of the FRITZ!Box is not found by the WLAN adapter.
Cause
WLAN is not enabled in the FRITZ!Box. If the “WLAN” LED on the FRITZ!Box is not lit up or is flashing, this means that WLAN is not enabled.
Remedy
Press the WLAN button on the FRITZ!Box. The “WLAN” LED be­gins flashing and then lights constantly. This means that the WLAN function is enabled.
86
Page 87
WLAN Connection Is Not Established
Announcing the Name of the Radio Network

Cause
The name of the wireless network of the FRITZ!Box is con­cealed.
Remedy
Enable the setting “Name of the WLAN radio network visible” in the WLAN settings of the FRITZ!Box.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network ca-
ble, as described in the section Connecting a Computer
to the LAN Port on page 16.
2. Start a web browser.
3. Enter fritz.box
in the address field.
4. Select the “ WLAN / Radio Network” menu and select the
“Name of the WLAN radio network visible” option.
5. Click the “Apply” button.
6. Remove the network cable and try again to establish a

10.3 WLAN Connection Is Not Established

Comparing the Security Settings for WLAN
Make sure that the WLAN security settings registered in the FRITZ!Box agree with the security settings of the WLAN adapter.
Here is how to view the WLAN security settings of the FRITZ!Box and print them out.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network ca-
ble. Proceed as described in the section Connecting a
Computer to the LAN Port from page 16.
2. Start a web browser.
3. Enter fritz.box
in the address field.
87
Page 88
WLAN Connection Is Not Established
4. Select the “WLAN / Security” menu.
5. Select the desired encryption and enter the encryption
data.
6. Click the “Apply” button.
A window is displayed with the WLAN security settings. Print out the page by clicking the “Print Page” button.
7. Remove the network cable and check the configuration
of the WLAN adapter in the printout. Try again to estab­lish a connection.
Testing the WLAN Connection Without Security Settings
Disable the WLAN security settings to test whether a WLAN connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter is possible at all.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network ca-
ble. Proceed as described in the section Connecting a
Computer to the LAN Port from page 16.
2. Open the user interface in a web browser. Proceed as de-
scribed in the section Opening the User Interface on
page 26.
3. Go to the “WLAN / Security” menu and select “non-enc-
typted”. As a final step, click “Apply”.
4. Remove the network cable and try again to establish a
connection.
This non-secured condition should be used only for test­ing, to find out whether a WLAN connection is possible at all.
If the attempt to connect to the WLAN using the non-encrypt­ed connection is not successful either, check the installation of the WLAN adapter and contact the manufacturer of the WLAN adapter if necessary.
Enable WLAN encryption again after completing the tests. Fol­low the steps listed above and then enable the kind of en­cryption that was previously configured.
88
Page 89
WLAN Connection Is Not Established
Installing the Current Service Pack
The WLAN connection to the FRITZ!Box cannot be established using the Microsoft WLAN Service (WZC) in Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Cause
The required Microsoft patch for WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) may not be installed.
Help
Install Service Pack 3 (SP3) for Windows XP, available as a free download from Microsoft. Then Microsoft WLAN Service will support WPA2, so that a WLAN connection can be estab­lished to the FRITZ!Box.
Ruling Out Interference Caused by Other Wireless Networks
If there are other devices in the immediate vicinity of your FRITZ!Box that use the same frequency band, simultaneous use of frequencies can result in mutual interference (for ex­ample, fluctuations or interrupted connections). Disruptions can be caused by other WLAN access points, but also by de­vices like baby monitors, game consoles, garage door open­ers, Bluetooth devices, or wireless AV bridges, which also use the 2.4-GHz frequency band. In this case, please test a differ­ent radio channel for your FRITZ!Box.
Alternatively, you can set the radio channel to “Auto”. This enables the Autochannel function, so that the FRITZ!Box searches for the best WLAN channel itself.
For applications that rely on a steady, high throughput rate (“streaming”), you should use the 5-GHz frequency band. This radio band provides more channels and is subject to sig­nificantly less external interference.
To set the radio channel in the user interface, your computer must be connected with the FRITZ!Box by network cable or wirelessly. If your computer is connected via WLAN, continue with Step 2 of the instructions below. In this case, note that
89

WLAN Connection Is Not Established
the existing WLAN connections is interrupted as soon as you apply the changed settings. Afterward you have to reconnect your computer with the FRITZ!Box.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network ca-
ble. Proceed as described in the section Connecting a
Computer to the LAN Port from page 16.
2. Start a web browser.
3. Enter fritz.box
in the address field.
4. Open the “WLAN / Radio Channel” menu.
5. Select the option “Adjust radio channel settings”.
6. Select a different radio channel from the “Radio channel”
list.
7. Click the “Apply” button.
8. Remove the network cable and check whether interfer-
ence continues to occur.
Avoid WLAN Channels with DFS
The FRITZ!Box loses the WLAN connection in the 5-GHz fre­quency band for no apparent reason.
Cause
In the 5-GHz frequency area the access point is programmed to change the channel whenever a radar source transmits on the same channel (Dynamic Frequency Selection, DFS).
Help
A forced channel change can be avoided by selecting in the FRITZ!Box a channel for the 5-GHz frequency band that does not use DFS (channels 36, 40, 44, 48).

FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable
This chapter provides you with product details on FRITZ!Box 6360 Ca­ble. You receive information on cables, technical data and further de­tails.

1.1 Network Cable

Additional network cable is required if you would like to use all of the FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable network ports.
The network cable (yellow) of the FRITZ!Box 6360 Cable is a standard category 5 (Cat5) Ethernet cable. If you need a re­placement cable, a longer cable or an extension, please use a standard STP-type (Shielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cable of category 5 or 5e (Cat5 or Cat5e). To extend the cable you will need a shielded RJ45 double coupling (Cat5 or Cat5e) with a 1:1 pin assignment. You can use both straight cables and crosslink cables. All components are available from special­ized vendors.
When components of a smaller category are used, reduced transmission rates may result.
AVM recommends using a network cable no more than 100 meters long.
