Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with a VOO cable connection

The FRITZ!Box Cable is optimally prepared for use with a VOO cable connection. Have VOO activate the FRITZ!Box, then connect it to the multimedia outlet and configure the internet connection.

The complete FRITZ!Box range of functions for internet, multimedia, and smart home is then available to all of the devices in the home network without restriction.

Important:The FRITZ!Box supports telephony via SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). The FRITZ!Box does not support the PacketCable specification used by VOO. This means that you cannot use telephony from VOO with the FRITZ!Box.

MAC addresses of the FRITZ!Box's cable modem (CM MAC + MTA MAC)
  1. Activate the FRITZ!Box for your cable connection as described in the guidePuis-je utiliser mon propre modem au lieu du modem VOO ?. Have the MAC addresses of your FRITZ!Box's cable modems (CM MAC and MTA MAC) ready. You can find these on the FRITZ!Box's type label.

2 Connecting the FRITZ!Box

  1. Insert one end of the coaxial cable into the Cable socket on the FRITZ!Box. Use the coaxial cable supplied with the FRITZ!Box, for example.
