Configuring Internet Connections

4 Configuring Internet Connections

There are two different ways for FRITZ!Box Fon to connect to the Internet. In both cases you need account information from an Internet Service Provider:

z The FRITZ!Box Fon establishes the connection with the

Internet and makes it available to all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon. In this mode the FRITZ!Box Fon functions as a DSL router.

For information about how to configure FRITZ!Box Fon for this operating mode, see the section “FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Router” from page 24.

z The computers connected to FRITZ!Box Fon establish

the Internet connections themselves. In this case FRITZ!Box Fon works like a DSL modem and is responsible only for forwarding data.

How to configure the FRITZ!Box Fon and the computers connected with it for this operating mode is described in the section “FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem” from page 26.

4.1 FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Router

So that the FRITZ!Box Fon can establish the Internet connection itself, an Internet connection must be configured with the account information from your Internet Service Provider in the FRITZ!Box Fon. All connected computers can then use this Internet connection at the same time. It is not necessary to install any additional Internet access software on the other connected computers.

In this mode FRITZ!Box Fon works like a DSL router and uses the Internet Service Provider's account information.

FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem

4.2 FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem

For the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box Fon to be able to establish their Internet connections themselves and use the FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL modem, two prerequisites must be fulfilled:

z FRITZ!Box Fon is configured as a DSL modem.

z An Internet connection must be configured on each

computer, using the Internet access software and the account information from an Internet Service Provider.

If your Internet Service Provider supplies its own access software, you can use this software for your computers.

It is generally not permitted to establish more than one Internet connection at a time using the same account information from an Internet Service Provider.

A separate Internet connection must be set up on each computer if all connected computers are to be allowed Internet access at the same time. This means that you need separate account information for each computer. Each computer then establishes its own Internet connection, subject to its own charges.

If you connected multiple computers with FRITZ!Box Fon and would like to allow Internet access for all of them, it is advisable to operate FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL router.

Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon as a DSL Modem

1. Open the FRITZ!Box Fon user interface and select the “Internet / Account Information” menu.

2. Disable the setting “Use one Internet connection for all computers (router)”.

3. Click the “Apply” button to transmit the setting to the FRITZ!Box Fon.

Now the FRITZ!Box Fon can be used as a DSL modem by all of the computers connected to it.

6.6 How Does Internet Telephony Work?

All kinds of data transmission in the Internet use the Internet Protocol (IP). IP is packet-oriented. This means that the data are broken down into data packets for transmission and IP takes care of the transport of the individual data packets through the Internet. Language is also transmitted in the Internet in this manner.

In opposition to this, fixed-line telephony transmits data in a line-oriented manner. In this case data are transmitted in a coherent data stream.

For packet-oriented transmission in the Internet, the loss of packets cannot be ruled out completely. Under unfavorable conditions this can lead to speech quality in Internet telephony that is inferior to that in fixed-line telephony.

FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 6 Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon for Telephone Connections 39

Page 40

How Does Internet Telephony Work?

Telephony Scenarios

If you have configured both a fixed-line number and an Internet number in FRITZ!Box Fon, you can make calls in all directions:

z from the fixed-line network into the fixed-line network

z from the Internet into the fixed-line network

z from the Internet into the Internet

and receive calls from all directions as well.

Bandwidth Management with FRITZ!Box Fon

FRITZ!Box Fon is equipped with integrated bandwidth management. This function ensures that the speech quality during telephone calls over the Internet is not reduced by surfing activity. FRITZ!Box Fon adjusts all uploads and downloads to the currently available bandwidth. Because FRITZ!Box Fon also places a higher priority on Internet telephony connections than Internet data connections, unwelcome interference is largely avoided. However, this is also true for Internet telephony: once the conversation capacity has been reached, the remote site will receive a busy signal.

7.1 Basics

What Is IP?

IP is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol.

The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.

FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 7 Network Settings 41

Page 42

What Is an IP Address?

IP Network

A network in which data exchange takes place on the basis of the Internet Protocol is called an IP network.

What Is an IP Address?

The term IP address is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol address.

The IP address corresponds to the “postal” address of a device located in the Internet or in a local IP network. So that data packets are sure to be delivered to the right address, each IP address may be assigned only once within the Internet or a local IP network.

The IP address consists of four three-digit groups of numerals (e.g. 192.168.178.254). Each group of numbers can assume values between 000 and 255.

Every IP address contains two components: the network address and the host address. These two components can be read out of an IP address only if the subnet mask is also specified.

IP addresses can be public or private, and also fixed or assigned dynamically.

Public IP Address

A public IP address is an IP address valid in the Internet. Every computer or router participating in the Internet must have a public IP address. This address is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The Internet provider assigns the negotiated IP address to the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session.

Private IP Address

Private IP addresses are used for computers and other network devices within local IP networks.

Since many local IP networks are not connected to the Internet except via single computers or routers (gateway), certain address ranges are excluded from the publicly available IP

42 FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 7 Network Settings

Page 43

What Is an IP Address?

addresses so that they are available for assignment in local IP networks. An IP address may only be assigned once within the local network. A private IP address may exist in any number of other local networks.

Fixed IP Address

Fixed IP addresses are IP addresses which are permanently assigned to a computer or another device like a network printer.

Assigning fixed IP addresses makes sense in cases where a local network has a sufficiently large pool of IP addresses available, or when a computer is always supposed to be accessible at a certain address (such as a web server or e-mail server).

Dynamic IP Address

A dynamic IP address is an IP address valid only for the duration of one Internet or network session.

Every computer participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. Since only a limited number of such IP addresses is available, they must be used sparingly. That is why most of the Internet participants who dial in to the Internet receive a dynamic IP address. They are called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time he or she dials in to the Internet.

By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because using them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments. The DHCP service is responsible for assigning unique dynamic IP addresses.

FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 7 Network Settings 43

Page 44

Subnetwork

A local IP network can consist of one subnetwork or be divided into multiple subnetworks. The division into subnetworks is performed when the local IP network is configured. The subnetworks of a local IP network are also IP networks.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask indicates which part of an IP address is the network address and which the address of the computer. The network address defines what is called the subnet.

Example 1

IP Address: 192.168.178.254

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:

Network address of the subnet:

Address of the computer in the subnet:

IP address pool in the subnet:

192.168.178.0

192.168.178.254

192.168.178.0 - 192.168.178.255

The IP addresses 192.168.178.0 and

192.168.178.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from

192.168.178.1 to 192.168.178.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

Example 2

IP Address: 192.168.178.254

Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0

The assignment of the first two groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first two groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result:

44 FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 7 Network Settings

Page 45

What Is DHCP?

Example 2

Network address (subnet): 192.168.0.0

Address of the computer in the subnet:

IP address pool in the subnet:

192.168.178.254

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

The IP addresses 192.168.0.0 and

192.168.255.255 are reserved. This means that the addresses from

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 are available for assignment to the computers.

What Is DHCP?

DHCP is the abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

DHCP is a protocol for the dynamic negotiation of the operating parameters for the TCP/IP protocol (TCP is a transport protocol based on the Internet protocol). The computers of a local IP network (DHCP clients) access the DHCP server as part of their operating systems’ start procedure.

The DHCP server assigns each client an IP address that is has not yet been assigned at the present time. The DHCP server also informs the client of the IP addresses of the DNS server to be used and of the default gateway. In assigning the IP addresses the DHCP server selects from a prescribed pool of IP addresses.

The central administration of the TCP/IP operation parameters makes it possible to avoid address conflicts due to IP addresses accidentally assigned more than once.

You should change the IP address of the FRITZ!Box Fon if the following apply to your network:

z You have an existing local IP network, one subnet with

several computers.

enabled

192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253

z Fixed IP addresses are registered in the network set-

tings of the computer, and you do not want to or are not permitted to change these addresses.

z You want to connect the FRITZ!Box Fon to the subnet in

order to make the FRITZ!Box Fon features available to all of the computers in the subnet.

46 FRITZ!Box Fon 5124 – 7 Network Settings

Page 47

Reserved IP Addresses

What IP Address Must You Assign for the FRITZ!Box Fon and What Else Must Be Taken into Consideration?

z The IP address must come from the address range of

your existing subnet.

z The subnet mask must correspond with that of the con-

nected subnet.

z When the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box Fon is enabled,

the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server. If none of the computers in your network has an address from this pool, the DHCP server can remain switched on. If one of the computers has a fixed address assigned from this pool, you should switch off the DHCP server.

z If you can no longer open the FRITZ!Box Fon user inter-

face after entering the IP address, see the information in the section “Opening the FRITZ!Box Fon User Interface via the Fixed IP Address” from page 56.

Reserved IP Addresses

The following address range is reserved in FRITZ!Box Fon for internal purposes.

192.168.180.1 - 192.168.180.254

7.3 DHCP Server

FRITZ!Box Fon is equipped with its own DHCP server. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. Every time the operating system on a computer connected with FRITZ!Box Fon is started, it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server.

Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.

Factory Settings

All computers are located in the same IP network

IP address 192.168.178.1

Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

DHCP Server enabled

The IP address, the corresponding subnet mask and the activated DHCP server automatically yield the following values:

enabled

Network address of the subnet 192.168.178.0

Entire IP address pool for the computers

Address pool of the DHCP server: 192.168.178.20 - 200

In every subnet of the FRITZ!Box Fon, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server.

Assigning the IP addresses via the DHCP server ensures that all of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon are located in a single subnet.

The computers can receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server only if the setting “Obtain an IP address automatically” is enabled in the their IP settings. For more information, see the section “IP Settings” from page 57.

Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled

If you would like to assign fixed IP addresses to individual computers connected with FRITZ!Box Fon, despite the fact that the DHCP server is enabled, then you must disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” in this computer’s network settings and enter the fixed IP address manually.

Which IP Addresses Can You Assign to the Computers?

z The IP addresses must be from the same subnet as

FRITZ!Box Fon.

z The IP addresses may not come from the address pool

of the DHCP server.

If the factory settings are not changed, that means the following IP addresses are available:

192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.19

192.168.178.201 - 192.168.178.253

Each IP address can be assigned only once.

Disabling the DHCP Server

You can switch off the DHCP server.

To make sure that all computers remain in the same subnet as the FRITZ!Box Fon even when the DHCP server is disabled, you must enter the IP addresses manually in the computers’ network settings. First disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” and then enter the IP address manually in the appropriate field.

In the case of the preset IP address of the FRITZ!Box Fon, the following IP addresses are available for assignment to the computers:

192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253

Each IP address can be assigned only once.

10.3 Advanced Features

Call Diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon

Incoming calls to the FRITZ!Box Fon telephones can be diverted to a different extension or to an external number. In contrast to call diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon, there is also call forwarding (call diversion via the central exchange). How to use call forwarding by phone is described in the section “Call Forwarding (Call Diversion via the Central Exchange)” from page 83.

Do not activate both call forwarding and call diversion at the same time.

Call diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon allows you to forward calls to an external line or to another extension. This kind of diversion is organized inside FRITZ!Box Fon 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 Fon is operated on an analog telephone line, incoming calls can only be diverted to a different extension or to numerical Internet numbers.

Advanced Features

You can specify the conditions under which an incoming call will be diverted over FRITZ!Box Fon. You can select one of six different options. Different settings may be saved for each extension.

Note that only numerical Internet numbers can be entered for diversion to an Internet number.

N sr

Pick up the handset.

Dial the sequence shown at left.

Next enter the keyboard shortcut your network provider has defined for the desired feature. The given keyboard shortcut must be obtained from your network provider.

Call Forwarding (Call Diversion via the Central Exchange)

Call forwarding is performed by the ISDN operator’s switching station. To use call forwarding, FRITZ!Box Fon 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 for forwarding calls to an Internet number.

In addition to call forwarding, there is also call diversion via FRITZ!Box Fon. Use this kind of call diversion to divert calls to internal and external lines. See the section “Call Diversion over FRITZ!Box Fon” from page 79 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.
