Verifying the Hardware Installation

Configure the device to connect to your wired and wireless networks using the Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Firewall Quick Start Guide.
CAUTION Use the 12V , 1.67 a power supply pr ovided with the device. Using a different power
supply could cause poor performance or damage the device.
To verify the hardware installation and connection to the Internet, complete the following tasks:
STEP 1 Check the LED states. For more information, see Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN
Firewall Quick Start Guide provided with the device.
STEP 2 Connect a computer to an available LAN port and verify that you can connect to a
website on the Internet, such as www.cisco.com.
STEP 3 Using a PC with a wireless feature, connect to a website on the Internet, such as
ww w.cisco.com. To configure your radio, see Connecting to Your Wireless
Network.

Introduction

Using Setup Wizard

Using Setup Wizard
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. To use Setup Wizard:
STEP 1 Start the computer that you connected to a LAN port.
Your compute r becom es a DH CP cl ien t of the d evice and r eceiv es an I P ad dr ess in the 192.168.1.xxx range.
STEP 2 Launch a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 in the Address bar. This is the
default IP address of the device. A message appears about the site security certificate. The device uses a self-
signed security certificate and this message appears because the device is not known to your computer.
4
STEP 3 Click Continue to this website (or the option shown on your particular web
browser) to go to the web site. The login page displays.
STEP 4 Enter the user name and password.
The default user name is cisco. The default password is cisco. Passwords are case sensitive .
STEP 5 Click Log In. Setup Wizard starts. STEP 6 Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the device.
Setup Wizard tries to automatically detect and configure your connection. If it cannot, Setup Wizard might ask you for information about your Internet connection. You might need to contact your ISP to obtain this information.
After Setup Wizard is done configuring the device, you are required to change the default password. Follow the on-screen instructions. After changing the default password, the Getting Started page appears.
Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Firewall Administration Guide 10
Introduction

Using the Getting Started Page

Configuration Next Steps

Although Setup Wizard automatically configures the device, we suggest customizing some settings to provide better security and performance:
4
• If you already hav e a DHCP server on your network and you do not want the
device to act as a network DHCP server, disable the server . See Configuring
the LAN Settings.
• Configure your V irtual Private Network (VPN) by using QuickVPN. QuickVPN
is included on the CD that shipped with your firewall. See Appendix A,
“Using the Cisco QuickVPN Software.”
• The device supports up to four wireless networks. You can only set up one
wireless network (or SSID) by using Setup Wizard. To configure additional wireless networks using Device Manager, see Configuring the Wireless
Network.
Using the Getting Started Page
The Getting Started page displays the most common device configuration tasks. Use the links on this page to jump to the relevant configuration page.
This page appears every time you start Device Manager. To change this behavior, check Don’t show on start up.

To connect a client device (such as a computer) to your wireless network, configure the wireless connection on the device with the wireless security information you configured for your device using Setup Wizard.
The following steps are provided as an example; it might be necessary to configure client device differently. For instructions that are specific to the client device, consult the device documentation.
STEP 1 Open the wireless connection settings window or program for your device.
Your computer might have special software installed to manage wireless connections, or you might find the wireless connections under the Control Panel in the Network Connections or Network and Internet window. (The location depends on your operating system.)
STEP 2 Enter the network name (SS I D) you chose for your network in Setup Wizard. STEP 3 Choose the type of encryption and enter the security key that you specified in
Setup Wizard. If you did not enable security (not recommended), leave the wireless encryption
fields that were configured with the security type and passphrase blank.
STEP 4 Verify your wireless connection and save your settings.

Configuring the WAN Settings

Configuring the WAN Settings
An Internet connection can be established through the WAN port or a wireless modem installed in the USB port. This section describes configuration of the W AN, mobile network, and failover and recovery.

Configuring the Wired WAN Connections

Configuring WAN properties for an IPv4 network differs depending on which type of Internet connection you have.
Configuring DHCP
If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses the Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) to assign you an IP address, you receive an IP address that is dynamically generated each time you log in.
6
To configure the DHCP WAN settings:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > WAN. STEP 2 From the Internet Connection Type drop-down menu, select Automatic
Configuration - DHCP.
STEP 3 Click Save.
Configuring Static IP
If your ISP assigned you a permanent IP address, perform the following steps to configure your WAN settings:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > WAN. STEP 2 From the Internet Connection Type drop-down menu, choose Static IP. STEP 3 Enter this information:
Internet IP Address IP address of the firewall WAN port. Subnet mask Subnet mask of the firewall WAN port.
Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Firewall Administration Guide 27
Configuring Networking
Configuring the WAN Settings
STEP 4 Click Save.
STEP 1 Choose Networking > WAN. STEP 2 From the Internet Connection Type drop-down menu, choose PPPoE.
6
Default Gateway IP address of the default gateway. Static DNS 1 IP address of the primary DNS server. Static DNS 2 IP address of the secondary DNS server.
Configuring PPPoE
To configure the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) settings:
STEP 3 Enter the following information (you might need to contact your ISP to obtain your
PPPoE login information):
Username The username assigned by the ISP. Password The password assigned by the ISP. Connect on Demand Select this option if your ISP charges based on the
amount of time that you are connected. When you select this option, the Internet connection is on only when traffic is present. If the connection is idle— that is, no traffic is flowing—the conne ction is closed. If you click Connect on Demand, enter the number of minutes after which the connection shuts off in the Max Idle Time field.
Keep Alive When you select this option, the Internet
connection is always on. In the redial period field, enter the number of seconds after which the device attempts to reconnect if it is disconnected.
Cisco RV215W Wireless-N VPN Firewall Administration Guide 28
Configuring Networking
Configuring the WAN Settings

Authentication Type Auto-negotiation—The server sends a
configuration request specifying the security algorithm set on it. The devic e then sends back authentication credentials with the security type sent by the server.
PAP—Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), used by Point-to-Point Protocol to connect to the ISP.
CHAP—Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) requires that both the client and server know the plaintext of the secret to use ISP services.
MS-CHAP or MS-CHAPv2—The Microsoft version of CHAP, used to access ISP services.
STEP 4 Click Save.
Configuring PPTP
To configure the PPTP settings:
STEP 1 Choose Networking > WAN. STEP 2 From the Internet Connection Type drop-down menu, choose PPTP. STEP 3 Enter this information:
