Using Expanded Registration Mode

Expanded registration mode makes reregistering easier for DECT devices like FRITZ!Fon, FRITZ!DECT 301 and FRITZ!DECT 210, for instance, when you switch to a new FRITZ!Box.

Using Expanded Registration Mode

Expanded registration mode is a special registration mode for DECT devices that are already known to the FRITZ!Box but no longer connected to it. In expanded registration mode you can register multiple DECT devices (for instance, FRITZ!Fon, FRITZ!DECT) in sequence. You do not have to restart registration on the FRITZ!Box for each DECT device.

Example 1

You restored the saved settings of your FRITZ!Box and would like to reregister all DECT devices with your FRITZ!Box.

Example 2

You would like to replace your FRITZ!Box with a new FRITZ!Box. All of the DECT devices registered with the old FRITZ!Box are to be registered with the new FRITZ!Box as well.

First, save the settings of the old FRITZ!Box and restore them in the new FRITZ!Box. In the process, your DECT devices are made known to the new FRITZ!Box. Then start expanded registration mode and register each of the DECT devices with the new FRITZ!Box in sequence.

Requirements

For regsitration of a DECT device in expanded registration mode, the following prerequisite must be fulfilled:

  • The DECT device is known to the FRITZ!Box: In the FRITZ!Box user interface, the device is listed under "Telephony / Telephony Devices" or "Smart Home / Device Management".
