As of today, you can start surfing on the latest ge neration WLAN network. You also have the
option to access all the data saved on a connec ted hard drive from any device connected to
your network.

Your new WLAN network
The Magic-Box has two WLAN freque ncy ranges (dualband): 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, that can be used
for wireless data transmission.
> The new 5GHz network has significantly less interferences and allows a much higher data
transmission rate than the Usual 2.4 GHz network. This makes this network particularly
adapted for high-performance applications such as video signals.
> The 2.4 GHZ network usually has a wider reach and is compatible with most devices. This
network is recommended for connecting smartphones and computers.
If a given device is compatible with both frequencies, it will automatically select the most
suitable frequency range (this depends on the connection quality as well as on its availability).
In case you need to choose by yourself if a device should be connected to the 2.4 GHz or the 5
GHz network, please proceed as described on page 30 «Defining different WLAN names (SSID)
for the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz networks (optional)».

Connecting devices to the WLAN network
In order to access the Internet wirelessly with our computer, it has to be connected to the WLAN
network created by your Magic-Box.
a. Manual connection:
If you require any help regarding the connection of your computer to a WLAN network, please
go to www.swisscom.ch/wlan.
b. WPS connection:
another way to connect your devices to your WLAN network is the WPS function. This type of
connection is recommended for all devices that have an integrated WPS button.
WPS is the abbreviation for «WiFi protected Setup» et allows you to connect 2 WLAN devices by
simply pushing a button (for more information please visit www.swisscom.com/wps).
If you need to add a new device to your existing network, please proceed as follows:
1. Place your new device at approx. 3 meter s from your Magic-Box.
2. Push the WPS button (
WPS
) of your Magic-Box for five seconds. The WLAN LEDs ( ) will
star t blinking in green.
3. Activate the WPS of your new device by following the instructions specific to this particular
device (usually you just need to push the WPS button for five seconds). The devices
will connect automatically. Please don’t forget that it can require up to five minutes to
establish a successful connection.

«Attention: all people who can access your network
can also access the data stored on the hard drive that
you have connected to your Magic-Box.
Note: If you cannot access your USB hard drive,
you might have a data format issue. The Magic-Box
supports the following formats: NTFS, FAT, FAT32.»

Changing the WLAN name (SSID) and/or the
WLAN password (optional)
1. Install your Magic-Box as described on page 28.
2. You have to register your account on the Magic-Box user interface. In order to do so, open
your Internet browser and type http://magicbox in the address bar.
3. Login by using the following
details (factory settings):
ADMIN-username «admin»
ADMIN-password «password»
Modifying the WL AN parameters
5. Select the «WLAN QUICK INSTALLATION» menu in order to modify the WLAN network
name (SSID) as well as the WLAN password.
Attention: In order to allow the devices you connect to your Magic-Box to select the best
network (2.4 or 5 GHz) you need to proceed as follows: Give the same WLAN network name
(SSID) to both frequencies, namely WL AN 1 (2.4 GHz) and WLAN 2 (5 GHz).
Write down
Your new WLAN-name (SSID):
and your new WLAN-password:
Defining different WLAN names (SSID) for the 2.4
GHz and the 5 GHz networks (optional)
Would you rather decide by yourself which device can access which one of your networks? Then
you must define a different name to your 5 GHz network. We recommend that you do so if you
reside in a densely populated area with many 2.4 GHz networks that interfere on each other.
The 5 GHz network allows you to reach a higher connec tion speed.
Note: not all devices are compatible with a 5 GHz network.
Proceed exactly as described in the previous chapter «Changing the WLAN name (SSID) and/
or the WLAN password». Define a new name for your 5 GHz network. We recommend that you
add the word «_Express» to the name that you already assigned to your 2.4 GHz network.
Example: WLAN 1 (2.4 GHz) is called «z tr-974 92» and the WLAN 2 (5 GHz) is called
«zt r-9749 2_E xpres s».
Connecting a hard drive to the Magic-Box and
configuring it (optional)
You can access your data, pictures and music saved on a hard drive from any device connected
to your WLAN network (e.g. WLAN radio or computer) if you connect the drive to your MagicBox.
1. In order to be able to use the USB port of your Magic-Box with your computer in the best
possible way, you must first install special softw are. You can download this software
under www.swisscom.ch/magicbox. Once downloaded, run the program and follow the
instruc tions on your screen .
2. Connec t your hard drive to your Magic-Box through the USB port.
3. The installed soft ware will now recognise your USB hard drive and the hard drive will now
appear as an icon (
) on your desktop. You can access the hard drive contents by double-
clicking on the icon.
The Magic-Box also has multimedia server functions.
This means that you can stream all the pictures, music and videos directly from your USB hard
drive. You can e.g connect a WLAN radio to your Magic-Box and listen to the music saved on your
hard drive without having to switch your computer on.
