Information on Keypad Codes
Overview
Various FRITZ!Box functions can be configured and operated using a
connected telephone without opening the user interface. These include
not only telephony functions like the alarm, Do Not Disturb and call
diversion, but also other functions. For instance, you can switch wire
less LAN on and off, and restore the factory settings to the FRITZ!Box.
How It Works
Keypad codes are combinations of keys (for instance,
#811*1*), which you enter on the telephone keypad.

phone to enter keypad codes. (Keypad codes do not work with
smartphones or IP telephones.)
• For analog telephones, ISDN telephones and DECT telephones
with their own base station: The telephone is configured such that
special characters (* and #) can be dialed; see the manual of
your telephone.
