mass storage devices available in the Windows network as
network drives (Samba). Files in the USB memory then can
be opened and processed directly on the USB mass storage
device.
Files are supported up to a size of 4 GB.
Access to USB network memory is only possible if the USB
remote connection is disabled for USB storage devices.
FRITZ!Musikbox With this feature music files on the USB storage device can
be played back by compatible devices (streaming). The
hard drive with the music collection is simply connected to
the USB port of the FRITZ!Box and a suitable playback device is integrated into the local network.

The devices automatically communicate via Universal Plug
and 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.
The FRITZ!Musikbox makes files available in the MP3, WMA
or WAV format.
You can connect a USB printer to the USB port and either
enable the USB remote connection, or use the USB printer
as a network printer.
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.
When configured as a network printer, the USB printer can
be used simultaneously by all of the computers connected
to the FRITZ!Box.
If you would like to connect a USB printer, please note the
following:
Only printers that can be addressed with the device
class “Printer” are supported as network printers. This
is not the case for some all-in-one printers, for instance combined fax-scanner-printers.
Host-based printers that work according to the GDI
system, for instance, and require bidirectional communication for status messages, 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.
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7570 vDSL 48
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 the USB printer is operated as a network printer, only the printing function is supported.
If your printer is equipped with a status monitor, you
can use this feature when the USB remote connection
is enabled.
If the printer is used as a network printer, it may not be
possible to utilize the status monitor.
For computers with Linux:
The printer must be supported by CUPS (Common
UNIX Printing System) software and be detected correctly at the USB port of the FRITZ!Box.
For Apple computers:
The only printers that can be used are the ones whose
drivers can be selected in the “Printer” utility or for
which a compatible driver is available there.
If you want to use the printer as a network printer, the printer port 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.
If you want to use the printer with the USB remote connection enabled, then any computer that is to use the printer
must have the program for the USB remote connection (see
page 44) and the suitable printer drivers installed.

Tips for Using USB Devices
8.8 Tips for Using USB Devices
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
supply is connected to the FRITZ!Box, 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.
AVM expressly advises against installing firmware up-
dates for USB devices connected to the computer via
the USB remote connection on the FRITZ!Box.
USB Mass Storage
Devices
When using a USB storage device at the USB port of the
FRITZ!Box, please keep in mind the following:
Before removing the USB storage device, select the
“Remove Safely” button in the FRITZ!Box user interface to prevent losses of data.
To avoid damage to the FRITZ!Box or the USB storage
device, operate USB storage devices that require more
than one USB port for operation (for instance hard
drives with a Y cable) only if they have their own power
supply or a USB hub with its own power supply.
AVM has no influence over external interference to the
USB storage devices on the FRITZ!Box. 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 AVM recommends always making a security
copy of the USB memory content so that your data are
not irretrievably lost.

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.
The telephone network features can be used only if they
are supported by your telephone network carrier and enabled on your telephone line.
Acknowledgment
Ton e
Entries input on the telephone are confirmed with acknowledgement tones (see also “Handset and Ring Patterns” on
page 113):
Entries made correctly are confirmed with a positive
acknowledgement tone (a single tone of one second
in length).
If the entry was not successful, because of an incor-
rect key sequence, for instance, you hear a negative
acknowledgment tone (an intermittent tone broken into intervals of about 0.25 seconds).

Call Diversion on the ISDN Line
Call Diversion on the ISDN Line
Call forwarding is performed by the ISDN operator’s switching station. To use call forwarding, FRITZ!Box must be connected to an ISDN line. Then this feature can be used to forward calls to an external line. Call forwarding is subject to
charges by the network provider and cannot be used to forward calls to Internet numbers.
In addition to call forwarding, there is also call diversion via
the FRITZ!Box. Use this kind of call diversion to divert calls
to internal and external lines. See the section “Call Diversion” on page 67 for more information.
Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at
the same time.
For call forwarding you may specify whether you want incoming calls to be forwarded unconditionally, after the fifth
ring, or when busy. Different settings may be configured
separately for each number.

Call Diversion
Call Diversion
Incoming calls to the FRITZ!Box telephones can be diverted
to a different extension or to an external number. In contrast to call diversion over FRITZ!Box, there is also call forwarding (call diversion via the central exchange). How to
use call forwarding by phone is described in the section
“Call Diversion on the ISDN Line” on page 61.
Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at
the same time.
Call diversion allows you to forward calls to an external line
or to another extension. This kind of diversion is organized
inside FRITZ!Box so that diversions to another extension
are free of charge. Calls are diverted to an external number
over your ISDN line’s second B channel and are subject to
normal transmission charges. If the FRITZ!Box is operated
on an analog telephone line, incoming calls can only be diverted to a different extension or to numerical Internet
numbers.
Note that only numerical Internet numbers can be entered
for diversion to an Internet number.
You can specify the conditions under which an incoming
call will be diverted over FRITZ!Box. You can select one of
five different options. Different settings may be saved for
each extension.

Connected ISDN Line Identification Restriction and
Presentation (COLR/COLP)
By default, a caller’s display always shows the Multiple
Subscriber Number (MSN) of the extension she or he
dialed. Yet if you take the call at another extension, the
MSN of this extension will be displayed (see page 78). If
you do not want the caller to know that the call has been
picked up at another extension and thus wish this number
to remain concealed, you have the option of suppressing
transmission of the connected line’s number. The caller’s
display will continue to show the number that was actually
dialed.

connection between the FRITZ!Box and the WLAN adapter is
possible at all.
1. Connect the FRITZ!Box to a computer using a network
cable. Proceed as described in the section “Connecting Computer(s) to the LAN Port” from page 18.

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.
