Welcome
The Cisco RV340 series of routers provide reliable internet access
connectivity for small businesses. All of the Cisco RV340 series models
supports two connections to one internet service provider, delivering high
performance by using load balancing, or to two different providers to
deliver business continuity.
• Dual Gigabit Ethernet WAN ports allow load balancing and business
continuity.
• Affordable, high-performance Gigabit Ethernet ports enable rapid
transfer of large files, supporting multiple users.
• Dual USB ports support a 3G/4G modem or flash drive. The WAN can
also fail over to the 3G/4G modem connected to the USB port.
• SSL VPN and site-to-site VPN enable highly secure connectivity.
• Stateful packet inspection (SPI) firewall and hardware encryption
provide strong security.
This guide describes how to install your Cisco RV340 and launch the webbased Device Manager.
Installing the Cisco RV340
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 airflow around the device. If
wall mounting the firewall, make sure that the heat dissipation holes are
to the side.
• Circuit Overloading—Adding the device to the power outlet must not
overload that circuit.
•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 may damage it.

WARNING This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground
conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a
suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are
uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024.
Desktop Mounting
For desktop mounting, place the device on a flat surface so that it sits on its
four rubber feet.
Wall Mounting
The router has two wall-mount slots on the bottom panel. To mount the
router on a wall, you will need the mounting hardware (not included).
Please refer to the following note for the additional screw size required for
installation instructions.
NOTE Use two use two M3.5*16.0L (K) W-NI #2 screws.
STEP 1 Drill two pilot holes, approximately 109 mm apart, into the surface.
STEP 2 Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface
and the base of the screw head of 1 mm to 1.2 mm.
STEP 3 Place the router wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the
router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.
WARNING Insecure mounting may damage the router or cause injury.
Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wallmounting.
WARNING
For safety, ensure that the heat dissipation holes are facing
sideways
.
Rack Mounting
Your Cisco RV340 device includes a rack-mount kit that contains:
• Two rack-mount brackets
• Eight M4*6L (F) B-ZN #2 screws
