Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
FRITZ!Box 7490 145
The DHCPv6 server assigns the network devices their IPv6
settings. These settings are used instead of the data in the
router advertisement messages. The DNS server, IPv6 prefix-
es or IPv6 addresses can all be assigned by DHCPv6. Define
which IPv6 settings should be assigned by the DHCPv6 serv-
er.
UPnP Settings
The Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) service included in your
FRITZ!Box provides status information about the FRITZ!Box to
all connected computers. UPnP-compliant programs on these
computers can receive this information and use them to dis-
play the status of the FRITZ!Box (e.g., connection status, data
transmission). UPnP service thus allows you to monitor your
FRITZ!Box from a connected computer.
Here is how to change the UPnP settings:
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface, see page 32.
2. Enable the advanced view.
3. Configure the UPnP settings in the “Home Network / Net-
work” menu on the “Programs” page.
18.2 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
The FRITZ!Box has its own DHCP server, which assigns IP ad-
dresses to the connected computers. The connected comput-
ers must be configured such that they can receive their IP
addresses automatically. The steps for checking and adjust-
ing this option differ among the operating systems. See the
relevant section for your operating system.
If FRITZ!Box is operated in a network, no other DHCP server
may be activated in this network.
