Configuring Telephones, Fax Machines, and Answering Machines
Overview
Once you have connected your telephony devices, configure these de-
vices in the FRITZ!Box. For each device, specify:
• Telephone number for outgoing calls to the public telephone net-
work
• How incoming calls should be handled: Should the device react
(ring, for instance) to every call, or only respond to calls for certain
telephone numbers?
• Further settings that depend on the kind of device.
Requirements
• Your own telephone numbers are set up in the FRITZ!Box.
Please Note
The following rules apply for IP telephones:
• IP telephones are configured in the FRITZ!Box such that no interna-
tional calls are possible. You can disable this security feature, see
page86.
• Various FRITZ!Box features are not available for IP telephones, in-
cluding telephone books, fax and data connections, routing, busy on
busy, and controlling FRITZ!Box functions (for instance, switching
Wi-Fi on and off).
