2 Cisco RV340 Router Quick Start Guide

Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Cisco RV340 Router.

This guide describes how to install your Cisco RV340 and launch the web-

based Device Manager.

Installing the Cisco RV340

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 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 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 may damage it.

Desktop Mounting

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

four rubber feet.

Wall Mounting

For 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).

STEP 1Drill two pilot holes, approximately 109 mm apart, into the surface.

STEP 2Insert a screw into each hole, leaving a gap between the surface

and the base of the screw head of 1 mm to 1.2 mm.

STEP 3Place the router wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the

router down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

WARNING Insecure mounting may damage the router or cause injury.

Cisco is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-

mounting.

WARNING

For safety, ensure that the heat dissipation holes are facing

sideways

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 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 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.

Cisco RV340 Router Quick Start Guide 7

Using the Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard and Device Manager are supported on Microsoft

Internet Explorer 7.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or later, Apple Safari 3.0 or

later, and Google Chrome 5.0 or later.

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 RV340 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 login 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.

8 Cisco RV340 Router Quick Start Guide

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 Setup > Password from the navigation bar.

STEP 2Change the Username.

STEP 3Enter the Old Password.

STEP 4Enter the New Password.

STEP 5Confirm the New Password.

STEP 6Click 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.

Cisco RV340 Router Quick Start Guide 9

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.
