Scout question and unrelated router question
Posted: Wed Sep 16, 2009 9:11 pm
Hi folks,
New user here... just installed the system today... have 3 setup questions:
Currently using Ooma with the landline. Ooma hub is behind the router and is between router and the network switch.
1) I have connected the Wall connection of the Ooma hub directly to the incoming phone line. I have connected the Home/Phone connection of the Ooma hub into the small switch board in place of where my incoming phone line used to connect. This made all of the jacks in my house have Ooma dialtone. Great! However, since the hub is in the basement, I would like to have Ooma Scout in the kitchen phone jack so that I can play voicemails easily. Connecting Ooma scout gives me red lights (1+2). Regular phone has dialtone no problems.
What am I doing wrong?
2) Unrelated question (and is not a priority, since I can get to my router if I directly connect to its Home port)... I'd like to access my Ooma hub through http://... interface. External IP of Ooma router was configured to be 192.168.0.200. I've configured the Internal IP of the router to be 192.168.0.201 and made the DHCP pool to be 192.168.0.202 through 192.168.0.203. I've connected the Home connection of the Ooma hub back to the switch. However, the http://192.168.0.201 does not respond. DNS/DHCP/etc settings were entered correctly. DMZ was left empty. I can connect to the Ooma hub, if I reset its settings to default, and plug a spare computer into its Home port. Any ideas here?
3) While I'm at it, I've opened opened in my firewall router and redirected them into Ooma router (1194, and 49000-50000)... Did I need to do that?
Thanks a ton for help!
