Welcome

The Cisco RV340W series of routers provide reliable internet access
connectivity for small businesses. All of the Cisco RV340W 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-per formance 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.

• A 4 LAN port switch and a WLAN access point

This Quick Start Guide describes how to install your Cisco RV340W and
launch the web-based Device Manager.

Installing the Cisco RV340W

To prevent the device from overheating or being damaged:

• Ambient Temperature—Do not operate the device 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, stable and
secured to avoid any hazardous conditions and prevent it from sliding
or shifting out of position. Do not place anything on top of the firewall,
as the excessive weight may damage it.
