What to Watch Out For
Safety Instructions When working with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340, ob-
serve 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
electrical 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 con-
tains 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
surfaces, 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.
• When connecting FRITZ!Box to your computer using
the network, remember to take the length of the cable into account.

2 FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340
An Overview
The FRITZ!Box connects your computers directly with your DSL or VDSL
line. Each connected computer can establish an Internet connection
over the FRITZ!Box. As a WLAN access point, FRITZ!Box offers you the
possibility of connecting your computer to the DSL or VDSL line wirelessly.
The FRITZ!Box is a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for making telephone
calls via the Internet and the fixed-line network (ISDN and analog).
PBX Two analog telephones, fax machines and answering ma-
chines can be connected to FRITZ!Box.
Using Cordless

FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7340
Locale Network All of the computers connected with the FRITZ!Box consti-
tute a network and can share access to any files released
for file sharing.
Internet All of the computers connected to the FRITZ!Box can ac-
cess the Internet.
The FRITZ!Box works as a DSL router, making the Internet
connection available to all connected computers. All connected computers can then use the Internet connection at
the same time.
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 two ports for USB devices,
to which you can connect USB storage devices (hard drive,
stick), a printer, one of the FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks, a USB
hub or other devices (see page 62).
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, 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. USB storage with
a media collection is simply connected to the FRITZ!Box. A
suitable playback device linked to the local network can
then playback these media contents. Suitable devices include all devices compatible with the UPnP AV standard.
Network Devices Other network devices can also be connected to the net-
work ports of the FRITZ!Box, for instance game consoles.

Setting Up the Internet Connection
In order to allow Internet access with the FRITZ!Box, you must first configure the Internet connection in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
The FRITZ!Box can be operated directly at the DSL line. Alternatively, it
can be connected to a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a DSL router, or
integrated into an existing network.
If no DSL line is available, Internet connections can also be established
over the mobile telephone network using a USB modem.
There are various ways to set up the Internet connection of
your FRITZ!Box. In addition to the manual configuration
variations, your Internet provider may also offer automatic
configuration of the Internet connection.
This chapter describes the various ways you can use the
FRITZ!Box technology to set up an Internet connection.
Nevertheless it is always advisable to follow the configuration instructions you received from your Internet Service
Provider.
Also note the following for the setup of your FRITZ!Box’s
Internet connection:
• The Internet connection of the FRITZ!Box can be es-
tablished using only one of the methods described
below.
• Your Internet Service Provider transmitted you infor-
mation about the configuration of your Internet
connection. Always perform the Internet connection
setup as described by your provider!
• If your Internet Service Provider supports an automat-
ic setup routine (also known as “automatic configuration”, “autoconfiguration”, “remote configuration”
29
Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
or “autoprovisioning”), we recommend always setting up the Internet connection of your FRITZ!Box in
this way.
The FRITZ!Box then is set up automatically and securely, with the data necessary for Internet use and
any other services ordered from your provider, like Internet telephony.
• If you would like to use not only DSL, but also
UMTS/HSPA for Internet connections, note that the
Internet connection can be used by only one of these
access technologies. You will have to change the type
of access in the FRITZ!Box as needed.
Remember that you can configure in the FRITZ!Box
only those types of Internet access you have contracted with the appropriate providers.
5.1 Configuring an Internet Connection Automatically over DSL
Automatic configuration is a procedure in which the Internet Service Provider sets up the Internet connection of
your FRITZ!Box completely automatically by “Plug & Play”.
Prerequisites In order for you to be able to perform automatic configura-
tion, the following requirements must be met:
• Your FRITZ!Box is brand new and starting operation
for the first time
or
The factory settings were restored to your existing
FRITZ!Box (see page 68) and the Internet connection
has to be set up again.
• The provider you contracted your Internet connection
from supports automatic configuration.
Follow all of the information you received from your provider on configuring your Internet connection!
If these prerequisites are not fulfilled, you can set up your
FRITZ!Box using the Configuration Wizard (see page 32).
