Finally I have found some time (and got several requests from forum users) to make a detailed "How-to" for manually configuring the wonderful LCR application. Harald Becker (and his team) is where all the credits go to, because he/they is/are the founding father(s) of the LCR application. :groesste: Visit his website on: http://www.telefonsparbuch.de
This "How-to" is based on my experience with LCR on my FritzBox (FB) 7050 with firmware 14.04.25. Please give your input if you ran into some unexpected things or when this "how-to" can be futher optimized.
So let's get started...... :doktor:
Attention:
For the use of the manual configurated LCR settings it is not necessary to download and install the LCR application. This is optional and not necessary to use the manual created LCR configuration file. The advantage is only Anrufliste (calling list), Wahltabelle (dialplan), Voip configuration settings, .....
Important:
After installation no configuration file should exist or being saved through the LCR web interface (otherwise the manual dialplan will be overwritten with the automatic created one). There is currently no option to delete a configuration file (it must be done manually with telnet: rm /var/tmp/tsb/data/TelefonSparbuch_FritzBox.cfg). If you are not using the LCR application, the URL http://fritz.box/tsb.htm (used further on in this how-to) will of coarse not function.
1. Download LCR application (optional):
For the use of the manual configurated LCR settings it is not necessary to download and install the LCR application. The first thing to do is to download the (latest version) LCR application at Harald's website. Here is the URL to download LCR for the FB: http://lcr.telefonsparbuch.de/software/fritzbox/TelefonSparbuch_LCR_Updater.tar
2. Install LCR application (optional):
Place after downloading the file TelefonSparbuch_LCR_Updater.tar in a directory where you can find it. Open the FB webinterface and login. Click on: einstellungen - system - firmware update - firmwaredatei. Find your downloaded file by clicking on the browse button, select it and finally click on open. Click on update and wait (the FB will caution you that your installing non-AVM software, just proceed with the installation procedure). The LCR application is being installed and after this the FB will restart. In your FB you will see the following sentence: "In Ihrer FRITZ!Box wurden vom Hersteller nicht unterstützte Änderungen durchgeführt", this means that you are using software that is not supported by AVM.
3. Basic LCR configuration (optional):
Now the LCR application is installed we have to do some "basic" settings through the LCR webinterface. Open the LCR webinterface on the following URL: http://fritz.box/tsb.htm . Click on "übersicht" and select the kennwort-tab, and check "kennwortshutz" (now the LCR webinterface is also password protected). After this click on "intervall" and check "nur manuell" (we are not using the webbased updates because they do not apply outside Germany). Click finally on "logout" and for now we are done in this section.
4. Download manual LCR configuration file:
So, now we come to the manual configuration of the LCR. For this moment, it is not (yet) possible to do the manual configuration through the webinterface, and this has to be done through a text based configuration file. Download my LCR manual example configuration file: TelefonSparbuch_FritzBox_Manual_Example.txt (it is an attachment in this topic). Due to forum restrictions I am unable to upload it with the original .lcr extension (it is actually .txt). For later steps it is not necessary to rename the extension, compiling with the .txt extention works fine. I have modified the file a little bit, the original file is in German and does not have an hour indicator in it.....
5. Manual LCR configuration part 1:
Open the TelefonSparbuch_FritzBox_Manual_Example.txt file and let's have a more detailed look. Under "area" you see the numbers (Amsterdam area) which are being dailed locally (local area code or no area code at all) called "local". These numbers are being dailed with provider "0" (see "provider" section under the area section). The "National", "Mobile" and "International" numbers are dailed with provider "240" and this is actually the prefixcode for my 1st voip number (*121# in the FB) see also the provider section. One specific mobile number (starts with 06 in the Netherlands and replace the xxxxxxxx with your own number) is being dailed with provider 241 and this is the prefixcode for my 2nd voip number (*122# in the FB).
6. Manual LCR configuration part 2:
In the "flagstimer" section you are only allowed (for as far as I know and what I have tested) to fill-in a "2" (mon-thu-wed-thu-fri and sa-sun separated) or a "3" (mon-thu-wed-thu-fri-sa and sun separated). In the "time" section you fill in for each number-range the provider to be dailed by the hour. The upper line is for the first weekdays range and the lower line is for the second weekdays range. For example: in the example file I dail all my local calls between 00:00-08:00 and 19:00-00:00 with provider "0" (KPN ISDN) and between 08:00-19:00 with provider "240" (voip #1). For each group of numbers is also a "fallback" provider in case the preferred provider is unavailable.
7. Compile the manual LCR configuration file:
Now you have enough information to create you own manual dailing list. You can add your own remarks as long as you use a "#" in front of each line. The separation of the "items" can be done by "tabs" or ";". When you are finished editing this file, save this file. Now we have to put this configuration into the LCR application. Before we do this, we have to "compile" this file otherwise we are unable to upload it into the FB. Harald provided us through his website with a special "compile" tool on the following URL: http://lcr.telefonsparbuch.de/tmpl/calc/telephone/lcr/FritzBox/lcr_manuell.htm. Select your manual file by clicking the browse button, select the file and click "open". Click on "anfrage senden" and the file is being compiled, save the compiled file to a directory where you can find it.
8. Upload LCR manual configuration file in FB:
Now we are ready to perform the last step, uploading the compiled LCR configuration file into the LCR application on the FB. Open the FB webinterface and login. Click on: einstellungen - system - firmware update - firmwaredatei. Find your compiled file by clicking on the browse button, select it and finally click on open. Click on update and wait. The LCR application is being installed and after this the FB will restart.
9. Check LCR manual configuration:
To check if our dail settings are OK and check the settings in detail you can do two things. The first method is to go into the LCR webinterface, open the LCR webinterface on the following URL: http://fritz.box/tsb.htm . Fill-in your FB password and click on "wahltabelle". If everything went well you will see the configuration you created manually. The second method is to open the FB webinterface and login. Click on: einstellungen - telefonie - wahlreglen and click on "anzeigen". After this you will see the same configuration.
10. Finally:
So this is all you'll need to know to create you own manual LCR configuration. Good luck on creating you own manual settings in the LCR application. If you are happy and satisfied with this LCR application take some time think about a (small) donation to Harald Becker (and his team) for all his effort put into this fantastic application.
