Setting up the FRITZ!Box for use with an o2 cable connection

The FRITZ!Box Cable is optimally prepared for use with an o2 cable connection. Simply connect the FRITZ!Box to the multimedia outlet, have o2 activate the FRITZ!Box, and configure telephony. If o2 provided you with the FRITZ!Box, it is already activated and will be configured automatically.

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