Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business RV120W Wireless-N VPN
Firewall. The Cisco RV120W provides secure, high-speed wireless network
access and advanced security features for your small business. This guide
describes how to physically install your Cisco RV120W and launch the web-
based Cisco RV120W Device Manager.
Before You Begin
1
Before you begin the installation, make sure that you have the following
equipment and services:
• An active Internet account
• Ethernet cable for WAN (Internet) connection (provided).
• PC with functional network adapter (Ethernet connection) to run the Device
Manager. The Setup Wizard is supported on Microsoft Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
The Device Manager is supported on the following web browsers:
– Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and later
– Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and later
– Apple Safari 3.0 or later.
• (Optional) Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to provide backup power to
essential devices (strongly recommended).
• (Optional) Ethernet cables for LAN interfaces to connect additional devices
to the Cisco RV120W.
You may need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get more
information about your account if any of the following situations apply:
• You have a static IP address assigned to you by your ISP and you
do not know your IP address.
• You have a PPPoE, PPTP, or LT2P connection to the Internet and you
do not know your username or password for your account.
Mounting the RV120W
2
You can place your Cisco RV120W on a desktop or mount it on a wall.
Placement Tips
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the firewall from overheating, 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 firewall.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the firewall is level and stable to avoid
any hazardous conditions.
For desktop placement, place the Cisco RV120W horizontally on a flat surface
so that it sits on its four rubber feet.
Wall Mounting
The Cisco RV120W can be wall-mounted.
You will need two mounting screws (not supplied) and drywall anchors (not
supplied), if you are installing the screws into wallboard. The dimensions for
the screws are as follows:

1 5.5mm/ 0.22in 2 17.5mm/0.69in
Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury. Cisco
W ARNING
is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting.
To mount the firewall to the wall:
S 1 Determine where you want to mount the firewall. Verify that the surface
TEP
is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.
S 2 Drill two pilot holes into the surface 2-7/16 inches (61 mm) apart, and
TEP
with a minimum of 5. 1 2 inches (130 mm) of clearance.
Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface and the base
of the screw head of at least 0. 1 inches (3 mm).

slots
Place the firewall wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the
S TEP 3
firewall down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.
Connecting the Equipment
3
S 1 You should have an Ethernet cable connecting your PC to your current
TEP
cable or DSL modem. Unplug one end of the cable from your PC and
plug it into the port marked "WAN" on the unit.
S 2 Connect one end of a different Ethernet cable to one of the LAN
TEP
(Ethernet) ports on the back of the unit. (In this example, the LAN 2 port
is used.) Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on the PC that will
be used to connect to the Cisco RV120W Device Manager.
S 3 Power on the cable or DSL modem and wait until the connection is
TEP
active.
