2 Cisco RV260P Router Quick Start Guide

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Cisco RV260P router.

The RV260P router provides reliable Internet access connectivity and

includes the following features:

•Easy to use UI with multiple set-up wizards.

•Eight port router with ports 1 - 4 as PSE (PoE) ports.

•Supports IPv6 firewall.

•Business-grade small business network in a box.

This guide describes how to install your Cisco RV260P and launch the

web-based Device Manager.

Installing the Cisco RV260P

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).

•AirFlow— Be sure that there is adequate airflow around the device. If

wall mounting the device, 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.

•MechanicalLoading— 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

device, as excessive weight may damage it.

Desktop Mounting

For desktop mounting, place the device on a flat surface so that it sits on its

four rubber feet.

Console Port — The router console port is designed for a serial cable

connection to a terminal or a computer that is running a terminal emulation

program.

USB — Type A USB port that supports flash drives and 3G/4G/LTE USB

dongles. Caution: Use only the power supply provided with the device;

using another power supply may cause the USB dongle to fail.

SFP Port — A small factor-form pluggable (SFP) is a hot-swappable input/

output device that plugs into the SFP port, linking the port with the

network.

WAN — Connecting the router to a wide area network device such as a

cable or DSL modem.

LAN — (1-8) RJ-45 device connections to link local area network devices,

such as PCs, print servers, or switches to the router. LAN ports 1 - 4 are

PoE ports and LAN ports 5 - 8 are GE ports.

POWER — Toggles power to the device on or off.

54VDC (1.67A) — Power port that connects the device to the provided or

54VDC 1.67 amp power adapter.

Connecting the Equipment

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 1Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the

computer, and this device.

STEP 2Use an Ethernet cable to connect your cable or DSL modem to the

WAN port on this device.

STEP 3Connect another Ethernet cable from one of the LAN (Ethernet)

ports to the Ethernet port on the computer.

STEP 4Power on the WAN device and wait until the connection is active.

STEP 5Connect the power adapter to the 54VDC port of this device.

6 Cisco RV260P Router Quick Start Guide

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 solid green when the power adapter is connected

properly and the device is finished booting.

STEP 6Plug the other end of the adapter into an electrical outlet. Use the

plug (supplied) specific to your country.

STEP 7Continue with the instructions in the Using the Setup Wizard to

configure the device.

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard and Device Manager are supported on Microsoft

Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Google Chrome.

To configure the device using the Setup Wizard, follow these steps:

STEP 1Power on the PC that you connected to the LAN1 port in Step 3 of

the Connecting Equipment section. Your PC becomes a DHCP

client of the device and receives an IP address in the 192.168.1.xxx

range.

STEP 2Launch a web browser.

STEP 3In 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 RV260P uses a self-signed security

certificate. This message appears because the device is not

known to your computer.

STEP 4Click Continue to this website to continue. The sign-in page

appears.

STEP 5Enter the username and password. The default username is cisco.

The default password is cisco. Passwords are case-sensitive.

STEP 6Click Log In. The Router Setup Wizard is launched.

STEP 7Follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device. The Router

Setup Wizard should detect and configure your connection. If it is

unable to do so, it asks you for information about your Internet

connection. Contact your ISP for this information.

STEP 8Change the password as instructed by the Router Setup Wizard or

follow the instructions in the Changing the Administrator Username

and Password section. Log in to the device with the new username

and password.

NOTE We recommend that you change the password. You are

required to change the password before enabling features such as

remote management.

The Device Manager Getting Started page appears. It displays the

most common configuration tasks.

STEP 9Click one of the tasks listed in the navigation bar to complete the

configuration.

STEP10 Save any additional configuration changes and log out of the

device manager.

Changing the Administrator Username and Password

To change the Administrator username and password on the device:

STEP 1From the Getting Started page, select Change Administrator

Password or select System Configuration > User Accounts from

the navigation bar.

STEP 2Check a username from the Local User Membership list and click

Edit.

STEP 3Enter the Username.

STEP 4Enter the old Password.

STEP 5Enter the new Password.

STEP 6Confirm the new Password.

STEP 7Select the group (admin, guest) from the drop-down list in the

Password Strength Meter.

STEP 8Click Save.

Troubleshoot Your Connection

If you cannot access your device by using the Setup Wizard, the device

may not be reachable from your computer. You can test network

connections by using ping on a computer running Windows:

STEP 1Open a command window by using Start > Run and enter cmd.

STEP 2At 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).

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 that 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 may take 30 – 60 seconds for the affected

interfaces and LAN to become operational.
