Encryption and ID verification ensure that the automatic con-
figuration of the FRITZ!Box can not be intercepted or per-
formed by unauthorized parties.
Automatic configuration of the FRITZ!Box is possible only if
the Internet Service Provider supports remote configuration
with TR-069. Which data are transferred to the FRITZ!Box and
how remote configuration is started depends on the provider.
For some providers, for instance, the user must enter a start
code in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
UMTS
short for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
UMTS is a third-generation (3G) mobile radio standard with
throughput rates of 384 Kbit/s to 7.2 Mbit/s.
The high throughput rates make it possible to support multi-
media services. With special cards or USB sticks the Internet
connection can also be provided for laptops or computers via
UMTS.
update
A more recent version of software or firmware is called an up-
date. Updates are often free of charge, resolve minor pro-
gramming errors, and sometimes also offer new functions.
uplink port
The uplink port on a hub or switch is designed for connecting
another hub or switch, or a router. In contrast to the uplink
port, there is also a user port for connecting terminal devices.
The send and receive directions are transposed on the uplink
port. On some devices the port can change between normal
and uplink mode by means of a switch.
upload
This term designates the procedure of transmitting files from
one’s own computer to another computer in the Internet.
