Introduction

This chapter provides information to guide you through the installation process, and get started using the browser-based Device Manager.

•Verifying the Hardware Installation

•Using Setup Wizard

•Using the Getting Started Page

•Connecting to Your Wireless Network

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, 1.67a power supply provided 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 www.cisco.com. To configure your radio, see Connecting to Your Wireless Network.

Introduction	4
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 computer becomes a DHCP client of the device and receives an IP address 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 selfsigned security certificate and this message appears because the device is not known to your computer.

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.

Introduction	4
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:

•If you already have 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 Virtual 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.

Connecting to Your Wireless Network

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 (SSID) 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 WAN, 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.

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.

	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.
STEP 4 Click Save.

Configuring PPPoE

To configure the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) settings:

STEP 1	Choose Networking > WAN.
STEP 2	From the Internet Connection Type drop-down menu, choose PPPoE.
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 connection is
			closed. If you click Connect on Demand, enter the
			number of minutes after which the connection
