Setting up FRITZ!Box for use with a Sunrise line

The FRITZ!Box is optimally prepared for use with Sunrise and gives you unlimited access to all features including internet, telephony, and television (We TV).

Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the internet connection and select Sunrise as the internet service provider in the FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!Box is then automatically configured by Sunrise.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

1 Connecting the FRITZ!Box with your DSL line

How to connect the cables depends on which socket your phone socket has:

  1. Use a network cable to connect the port marked 'DSL' on the FRITZ!Box to the LAN socket on the telephone socket, for example use the network cable included with delivery.

Phone socket with Reichle socket

  1. Insert the Reichle adapter (TT89/RJ11) into the Reichle socket of the telephone socket.
  2. Insert the longer end of the DSL/telephone cable (Y cable) into the 'DSL' socket on the FRITZ!Box.
  3. Insert the grey plug of the Y-shaped cable into the Reichle adapter. Leave the black end of the cable hanging.
