Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Cisco RV0xx Series VPN Router. These routers
provide advanced connection-sharing for your small business, and allow your
remote workers to securely access your onsite network resources.
All RV0xx Series routers can support a second Internet connection to ensure
continuous connectivity or to increase available bandwidth and balance traffic.
Three models are available. A comparison is provided below.
NOTE RV042 and RV082 have one dedicated Internet port and a DMZ/
Internet port. RV016 has two dedicated Internet ports, one dedicated DMZ
port, and five dual function ports that can be configured as LAN or Internet
ports.

Ports
Internet (RV042 and RV082) or Internet 1-2 (RV016): Use this port to
connect the router to a broadband network device.
DMZ/Internet (RV042 and RV082): Use this port to connect the router to
either a second broadband network device or a DMZ host such as a web
server or FTP server. A DMZ allows public Internet traffic to access a specified
computer on your network without exposing your LAN.
DMZ (RV016): Use this port to connect the router to a DMZ host such as a
web server or FTP server. A DMZ allows public Internet traffic to access a
specified computer on your network without exposing your LAN.
1-4 (RV042) or 1-8 (RV082 and RV016): Use these numbered ports to
connect computers and other local network devices.
Dual Function Ports (RV016): Use these ports as LAN ports (numbered 9-13)
or configure them for use as Internet ports (numbered 3-7). The status is shown
on the corresponding LEDs: LAN/Act 9-13 or Internet/Act 3-7.
LEDs
DIAG: The LED is steady red when the router is preparing for use. It is unlit
when the router is ready for use.
System: The LED is steady green when the router is powered on. It flashes
when the router is running a diagnostic test.
Internet (all models), DMZ/Internet (RV042 and RV082), or Internet/ACT
(RV016): The LED is steady green when a device is connected to the
corresponding port. It flashes to indicate network activity over the port.
DMZ Mode (RV042 and RV082): The LED is steady green when the DMZ/
Internet port is configured as a DMZ. This LED is unlit when the port is
configured as a secondary Internet connection.

WARNING For safety, ensure that the heat dissipation holes are facing sideways .
STEP 1Drill two pilot holes into the surface.
• RV042: 58 mm apart
• RV082 and RV016: 94 mm apart
STEP 2Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface and
the base of the screw head of 1 to 1.2 mm.
STEP 3Place the router wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the router
down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.
Rack Mounting RV082 or RV016
You can mount the RV082 or RV016 in a standard size, 19-inch (about 48 cm)
wide rack. The router requires 1 rack unit (RU) of space, which is 1.75 inches
(44.45mm) high. Mounting brackets are provided.
CAUTION Do not overload the power outlet or circuit when installing
multiple devices in a rack.
STEP 1Place the router on a hard, flat surface.
STEP 2Attach one of the supplied rack–mount brackets to one side of the
router with the supplied screws. Secure the bracket tightly.
STEP 3Follow the same steps to attach the other bracket to the opposite side.
STEP 4Use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to any standard
19-inch rack.
Connecting the Equipment
STEP 1Make sure that all network devices are powered off, including the router,
PCs, Ethernet switches, and broadband network device (DSL or cable
modem).
STEP 2To connect to your Internet service:
• RV042 or RV082: Connect an Ethernet cable from the broadband
network device to the Internet port of the router.

Getting Started with the Configuration
STEP 1Connect a computer to a numbered LAN port on the router. Your PC will
become a DHCP client of the router and will receive an IP address in the
192.168.1.x range.
STEP 2Start a web browser. To use the configuration utility, you need a PC
with Internet Explorer (version 6 and higher), Firefox, or Safari (for Mac).
STEP 3In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the router:
192.168.1.1
STEP 4When the login page appears, enter the default user name admin and
the default password admin (lowercase).
STEP 5Click Login. The System Summary page appears.
The router’s default settings are sufficient for many small businesses.
Your Internet Service Provider may require additional settings. On the
System Summary page, check the WAN Status to see if the router was
able to receive an IP Address. If not, continue to the next step.
STEP 6To use the setup wizard to configure your Internet connection, click
Setup Wizard on the System Summary page, or click Wizard in the
navigation tree. In the Basic Setup section, click Launch Now. Follow
the on-screen instructions.
If your web browser displays a warning message about the pop-up
window, allow the blocked content.
STEP 7To configure other settings, use the links in the navigation tree.
Cisco strongly recommends setting a strong administrator password
to prevent unauthorized access to your router. For more information
about all settings, refer to the online Help and the Cisco Small
Business RV0xx Series VPN Router Administration Guide.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you have trouble connecting to the Internet or the web-based configuration
utility:
• Verify that your web browser is not set to Work Offline.
•Check the Local Area Connection settings for your Ethernet adapter. The PC
needs to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Alternatively, it can have a
static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range with the default gateway set to
192.168.1.1 (the router’s default IP address).
•Verify that you entered the correct settings in the Wizard to set up your
Internet connection, including the username and password if required.
•Try resetting the modem and the router by powering off both devices. Next,
power on the modem and let it sit idle for about 2 minutes. Then power on
the router. You should now receive a WAN IP address.
4
•Check the DHCP IP address range of your modem. If the modem uses the
192.168.1.x range, disconnect the cable from the modem to the router, and
then launch the router configuration utility. In the navigation tree, choose
Setup > Network. Enter a new Device IP Address, such as 10.1.1.1 or
192.168.0.1. Alternatively, if you have a DSL modem, leave all settings as is
and instead ask your ISP to put the DSL modem into bridge mode.
