2 Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco RV110W Wireless-N VPN Firewall.
The RV110W provides simple, affordable, secure business-class
connectivity to the Internet for small office/home office (SoHo) and remote
professionals.
This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco RV110W and
launch the web-based Device Manager to configure and manage your
firewall.
Installing Cisco RV110W
To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:
•Ambient Temperature—Do not operate it in an area that exceeds an
ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).
•Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the device. If
wall mounting the firewall, make sure the heat dissipation holes are to
the side.
•Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the device is level and stable to
avoid any hazardous conditions and that it is secure to prevent it from
sliding or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the
firewall, as excessive weight might damage it.
Place the Cisco RV110W unit horizontally on a flat surface so that it sits on
its four rubber feet.

RESET Button—The RESET button has two functions:
•If the Cisco RV110W is having problems connecting to the Internet,
press the RESET button for at least 3 but no more than 10 seconds with
a paper clip or a pencil tip. This is similar to pressing the reset button on
your PC to reboot it.
Power The Power light is green to indicate the unit is
powered on. The light flashes green when the
power is coming on.
WPS The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button is
used to configure wireless access for devices
in your network that are WPS-enabled. See the
Administration Guide or Device Manager help
page for more information.
WAN The WAN (Internet) light is green when the
Cisco RV110W is connected to the Internet
through your cable or DSL modem. The light is
off when the Cisco RV110W is not connected
to the Internet. The light flashes green when it
is sending or receiving data
Wireless The Wireless light is green when the wireless
module is enabled. The light is off when the
wireless module is disabled. The light flashes
green when the firewall is transmitting or
receiving data on the wireless module.
LAN Ports The numbered lights correspond to the LAN
ports on the Cisco RV110W.
If the lights are continuously lit green, the Cisco
RV110W is connected to a device through the
corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4). The light for a
port flashes green when the firewall is actively
sending or receiving data over that port.

•If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Cisco RV110W and
have tried all other troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the
RESET button for more than 10 seconds. This reboots the unit and
restores the factory defaults. Changes you have made to the Cisco
RV110W settings are lost.
LAN Ports (1-4)—These ports provide a LAN connection to network
devices, such as PCs, print servers, or switches.
WAN (Internet) Port—The WAN port is connected to your Internet device,
such as a cable or DSL modem.
POWER Button—Press this button to turn the firewall on and off.
12VDC Port—The 12VDC port is where you connect the provided 12 volt
DC power adapter.
Connecting the Equipment
NOTE You must connect one PC with an Ethernet cable for the purpose of
the initial configuration. After you complete the initial configuration,
administrative tasks can be performed using a wireless connection.
STEP 1Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the PC
you will use to connect to the Cisco RV110W, and the Cisco
RV110W.
STEP 2You should already have an Ethernet cable connecting your PC to
your current cable or DSL modem. Unplug one end of the cable
from your PC and plug it into the port marked “WAN” on the unit.

STEP 3Connect one end of a different Ethernet cable to one of the LAN
(Ethernet) ports on the back of the unit. (In this example, the LAN 1
port is used.) Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on the PC
that you will use to run the web-based Setup Wizard and Device
Manager.
STEP 4Power on the cable or DSL modem and wait until the connection is
active.
STEP 5Connect the power adapter to the Cisco RV110W POWER port.

CAUTION Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the unit.
Using a different power adapter could damage the unit.
STEP 6Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. You may
need to use a specific plug (supplied) for your country.
STEP 7On the Cisco RV110W, push the POWER button in to turn on the
firewall. The power light on the front panel is green when the
power adapter is connected properly and the unit is turned on.
Using the Setup Wizard
NOTE The Setup Wizard and Device Manager are supported on
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 or later, and
Apple Safari 3.0 or later.

STEP 1Power on the PC that you connected to the LAN1 port in Step 2 of
the Connecting the Equipment section. Your PC becomes a DHCP
client of the firewall and receives an IP address in the 192.168.1.xxx
range.
STEP 2Start a web browser on your PC. In the Address bar, enter the
default IP address of the firewall: 192.168.1.1. A message appears
about the site’s security certificate. The Cisco RV110W uses a self-
signed security certificate and this message appears because the
firewall is not known to your PC. You can safely click Continue to
this website (or the option shown on your particular web browser)
to go to the web site.
STEP 3When the login page appears, enter the user name and password.
The default user name is cisco. The default password is cisco.
Passwords are case sensitive.
NOTE For security reasons, change the default user name and password
as soon as possible. See the Changing the Administrator User Name
and Password section.
STEP 4Click Log In.
Changing the Administrator User Name and Password
STEP 1From the Getting Started page, choose Change Default
Administrator Password.
STEP 2Select Edit Admin Settings.
STEP 3In the Administrator Settings section, enter the new administrator
username. We recommend that you do not use “cisco.”
STEP 4Enter the old password.
STEP 5Enter the new password. Passwords should not contain dictionary
words from any language or the default password, and they should
contain a mix of letters (both upper- and lowercase), numbers, and
symbols. Passwords must be at least 8 but no more than 30
characters.
STEP 6Enter the new password again to confirm.
STEP 7Click Save.

Connecting to Your Wireless Network
To connect a device (such as a PC) to your wireless network, you must
configure the wireless connection on the device with the wireless security
information you configured using the Device Manager.
The following steps are provided as an example; you may need to
configure your device differently. For instructions that are specific to your
device, consult the user documentation for your device.
STEP 1Open the wireless connection settings window or program for your
device. Your PC may have special software installed to manage
wireless connections, or you may find wireless connections under
the Control Panel in the Network Connections or Network and
Internet window. (The location depends on your operating system.)
STEP 2Enter the network name (SSID) you chose for your network when
you configured the Cisco RV110W.
STEP 3Choose the type of encryption and enter the security key that you
chose when setting up the Cisco RV110W. If you did not enable
security (not recommended), leave these fields blank.
STEP 4Verify your wireless connection and save your settings.
