Quick Start Guide for Cisco RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall

Quick Start Guide

This guide provides the essential steps to install and configure your Cisco RV 120W Wireless-N VPN Firewall. The device is designed to provide secure, high-speed wireless network access for small businesses.

Installation and Mounting

You can place the device on a desktop or mount it on a wall. Ensure the area has adequate air flow and does not exceed an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

Wall Mounting

1. Determine the mounting location and install two screws (not supplied) 2-7/16 inches (61 mm) apart.
2. The screw heads should be approximately 5.5 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep. Do not mount the screw heads flush with the wall; they must fit inside the back of the unit.
3. Align the wall-mount slots on the bottom of the unit with the screws.
4. Place the slots over the screws and slide the unit down until it fits snugly.

Connecting the Equipment

Cisco recommends using the Setup Wizard for initial configuration.

• WAN Connection: Unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC and plug it into the port marked WAN on the unit.
• LAN Connection: Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the back of the unit and the other end to your PC.
• Power: Connect the supplied power adapter to the power port and plug it into an electrical outlet. Press the ON/OFF power switch to turn the unit on.

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard guides you through the installation process. Ensure your PC has a functional network adapter and that MSXML software is installed.

1. Power off all network hardware.
2. Insert the provided CD into your PC.
3. Click Start to begin the installation.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to verify your network adapter and configure your Internet connection.

Configuring Security

During setup, you will be prompted to configure security settings:

• Administration Password: Change the default password (admin). Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols (8-30 characters).
• SSID: Set a unique name for your wireless network.
• Security Type: WPA2 is recommended for best security. If your devices do not support WPA2, choose WPA.
