------------------------------------------------------------

**Transmitting the Telephone Numbers of a Mesh Master to Another FRITZ!Box in the Home Network**

Once you have added an additional FRITZ!Box to the Mesh, you can configure it so that all telephone numbers are available on each FRITZ!Box. If your FRITZ!Box is connected with a landline, you can use the telephones connected to the second FRITZ!Box to make calls over the internet as well as on the landline. If the latest FRITZ!OS 7 is installed on both FRITZ!Box models, the telephone numbers are transferred automatically in the Mesh once the "Telephony in the Mesh" option is enabled.

If the new FRITZ!Box is already a component of the Mesh, or if you have already set up telephone numbers on it, these telephone numbers must be deleted and one of the two FRITZ!Box models must be restarted. 

Then the new FRITZ!Box must be enabled for "Telephony in the Mesh".
To do so proceed as follows:

- Click "Home Network" in the user interface of the Mesh Master.
- Click "Mesh" in the "Home Network" menu.
- Click the "Mesh Settings" tab.
- In the "Use Telephony in the Mesh" section, click the "Enable" link next to the respective Mesh Repeater and then confirm that the procedure may be executed on the Mesh Master as well, if asked to do so.

The telephone numbers are now distributed in the Mesh and can be assigned to your telephones and other telephony devices (for instance, answering machines) on the FRITZ!Box.

Note: Telephony Mesh is not the same thing as DECT repeating, which requires the support of special hardware on the FRITZ!Box deployed as the Mesh Master.
For DECT repeating, you can purchase the FRITZ!DECT Repeater 100 from an electronics retailer.

**Instructions for installing the update:**

Use the update function offered in the user interface to install the update. This automatically offers you the right FRITZ!OS. Click "Wizards", select "Update" and then follow the instructions on the screen.
