2 Cisco RV320/RV325 Gigabit Dual WAN VPN Router Quick Start Guide
Welcome
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business RV320/RV325 Gigabit
Dual WAN VPN Router.
This guide describes how to physically install your Cisco RV320/RV325
and launch the web-based Device Manager.
Installing Cisco RV320/RV325
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 air flow around the device. If
wall mounting the firewall, make sure 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 might damage it.
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 need mounting hardware (not included). Suggested
hardware is illustrated below (not true to scale).

WARNING Insecure mounting might 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
.
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 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.

Connecting
You must connect a configuration terminal (PC) to the device by using a
LAN port. The terminal must be in the same wired subnetwork as the
device to perform the initial configuration. As part of the initial
configuration, the device can be configured to allow remote management.
To connect a computer to the device:
STEP 1 Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the
computer, and this device.
STEP 2 Use an Ethernet cable to connect your cable or DSL modem to the
WAN por t on t his devic e.
STEP 3 Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the LAN (Ethernet)
ports to the Ethernet port on the computer.
STEP 4 Power on the WAN device and wait until the connection is active.
STEP 5 Connect the power adapter to the 12VDC port of this device.
CAUTION Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the device.
Using a different power adapter could damage the device or
cause the USB dongles to fail.
The POWER switch is on by default. The power light on the front
panel is lit when the power adapter is connected properly and the
device is finished booting.
STEP 6 Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. Use the
plug (supplied) specific to your country.
STEP 7 Power on the computer that you connected to the LAN port in
Step 3. Your computer becomes a DHCP client of the device and
receives an IP address in the 192.168.1.xxx range.

Logging In
To l o g in to t h e d ev ic e :
STEP 1 Launch a web browser.
STEP 2 In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the device,
https://192.168.1.1. A site security certificate message is
displayed. The Cisco RV320/RV325 uses a self-signed security
certificate. 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 continue. The login displays.
STEP 4 Enter the username and password. The default username is cisco.
The default password is cisco. Passwords are case sensitive.
STEP 5 Click Log In. The Device Manager application starts.
We recommend that you change the password. You are required to
change the password before enabling features such as remote
management.
Changing the Administrator Username and Password
To change the Administrator username and password on the device:
STEP 1 From the Getting Started page, select Change Administrator
Password or select Setup > Password from the navigation bar.
STEP 2 Change the Username.
STEP 3 Enter the Old Password.
STEP 4 Enter the New Password.
STEP 5 Confirm the New Password.
STEP 6 Click Save.
Troubleshoot Your Connection
If you cannot access your device by using Device Manager, the device
might not be reachable from your computer. You can test network
connections by using ping on a computer running Windows:
STEP 1 Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.
STEP 2 At the Command window prompt, enter ping and the device IP
address. For example, ping 192.168.1.1 (the default static IP
address of the device).
Cisco RV320/RV325 Gigabit Dual WAN VPN Router Quick Start Guide 9
If you can reach the device, you should get a reply similar to the
following:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
If you cannot reach the device, you should get a reply similar to the
following:
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Possible Causes and Resolutions
Bad Ethernet connection:
Check the LEDs for the proper indications. Check the connectors of the
Ethernet cable to ensure they are firmly plugged into the device and
your computer.
Wrong or conflicting IP address:
Verify that you are using the correct IP address of the device.
Verify that no other device is using the same IP address as this device.
No IP route:
If the device and your computer are in different IP subnetworks,
remote access must be enabled and you need at least one router on
the network to route the packets between the two subnetworks.
Unusually long access time:
Adding new connections might take 30 to 60 seconds for the affected
interfaces and/or LAN to become operational.
