Getting started with your WebRamp 700s
Posted in Networking, Security, Hardware on May 26th, 2005Getting started with your WebRamp 700s
So you bought you a WebRamp 700s? A good choice at less than 30 dollars. It’s value far greater than that, I can assure you. I made a list of steps to follow if you are connecting the WebRamp 700s directly to your Cable or DSL modem.
Note: This assumes you already know how to get to the admin console for your WebRamp 700s. The defaults to which are IP address: 192.168.1.251, login with username ‘admin’ and password ‘password’. You must have a java enabled browser.
1. Choose Advanced from menu bar, Intranet Tab
2. Select Webramp 700s WAN link is connected directly to the Internet router
3. Press Update
4. Select General from menu bar, Network Tab
5. Change Network Addressing Mode to NAT with DHCP
6. Press Update
7. Select DHCP from menu bar, Setup Tab
8. Enable DHCP Server
9. Set Client Default Gateway to 192.168.1.251 (the IP address of the webramp)
10. Press Update
11. Restart router Tools menu - Restart tab - Restart WebRamp 700s button
12. This takes about a minute, when restart is complete - goto DHCP menu - Setup tab and verify DNS is set to “Set DNS servers using Webramp 700s Network settings”
13. Press Update if necessary
Note: Obviously the DSL/Cable modem should connect directly to the WAN port on the back of the WebRamp 700s and the PCs (or hub) connect to the ‘TO COMPUTER’ ports.
This was my initial test of the WebRamp 700s. I have since setup my WebRamp to work with my Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. The instructions for which are slightly varied, yet no more difficult, and I will post that soon.
