14.4 Setting Up FRITZ!Box Fax Reception
With the FRITZ!Box you can receive faxes without having to
connect a fax machine. The FRITZ!Box automatically forwards
incoming faxes by e-mail or saves the faxes on a connected
USB storage medium.
1. Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see page 31).
2. Select the “Telephony / Telephony Devices” menu.
3. Click “Configure New Device”.
4. Select the “Fax reception” option and confirm by click-
ing “Next”.
5. Enter a fax ID. This could be your fax number or name, for
instance.
6. Define whether the FRITZ!Box forwards incoming faxes
by e-mail or saves them.
If you would like to enter multiple e-mail addresses, sep-
arate the addresses with commas.
7. Confirm with “Next”.
8. Select one or multiple telephone numbers you would
like to use exclusively for fax reception.
If you would like to make calls and receive faxes over an
analog fixed line, enable automatic fax detection for
your fixed-line telephone number. Please note the infor-
mation about automatic fax reception in the following
section.
9. Confirm by clicking “Next” and “Apply”.
Automatic Fax Reception on the Analog Fixed Line
If you enabled automatic fax detection on an analog fixed
line, please note:
Fax detection is not enabled until a telephone or answering
machine accepts a call.
If your FRITZ!Box is to receive faxes automatically, set up an
answering machine for fax calls in the FRITZ!Box (see
page 84).
