Welcome
Quick Start Guide
Thank you for choosing the Cisco Small Business RV220W. This guide
describes how to physically install your Cisco RV220W and launch the web-
based Cisco RV220W Device Manager to configure and manage your firewall.
The Cisco RV220W Network Security Firewall delivers high-performance,
highly secure, wired and wireless connectivity—to the Internet, other offices,
and employees working remotely—to speed file transfers and help improve
the productivity of employees in a small office. Hybrid VPN capabilities,
supporting both IP Security (IPsec) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN,
provide flexibility to connect remote offices as if they were physically attached
to the network and extend controlled network access to partners and others.
Business-class security and optional cloud-based web threat protection help
keep the network and business assets safe. The RV220W is easy to set up and
use.
You can place your Cisco RV220W on a desktop or mount it on a wall.

Mounting the RV220W
1
• Ambient Temperature—To prevent the firewall from overheating, 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 firewall.
• Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the firewall is level and stable to avoid
any hazardous conditions.
• 2 screws
• 2 drywall anchors (if installing onto drywall)
The dimensions for these parts are as follows:

1 0.30 to 0.32 in/
2 0.86 to 0.88 in/
3 0.26 to 0.28 in/
4 0.61 to 0.63 in/
7.7 to 8.2 mm
21.8 to 22.3 mm
6.5 to 7. 1 mm
15.5 to 16 mm
Insecure mounting might damage the device or cause injury. Cisco

is not responsible for damages incurred by insecure wall-mounting.
To mount the firewall to the wall:
S
1
Determine where you want to mount the firewall. Verify that the surface
TEP
is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy.
S
2
For horizontal mounting, drill two pilot holes into the surface 5-7/8
TEP
inches (150 mm) apart, and with a minimum of 3 inches (76.2 mm) of
clearance. For vertical mounting, drill two pilot holes into the surface
4-1/4 inches (108 mm) apart, and with a minimum of 3 inches (76.2 mm)
of clearance.

Insert a screw into each hole in the surface, leaving a gap between the
TEP
surface and the base of the screw head of at least 0. 1 inches (3 mm).
Do not mount the screw heads flush with the surface; the screw heads
must fit inside the back of the unit.
S
5
With the back panel pointing up (if installing horizontally), line up the
TEP
unit so that the wall-mount slots on the bottom of the unit line up with
the two screws.
If installing vertically, hold the left side of the unit pointing up and line
up the unit so that the wall-mount slots on the bottom of the unit line up
with the two screws.
Attaching the Antennas
2
The Cisco RV220W ships with two removable dual-band antennas. The
firewall also has one permanent, internal dual-band antenna. To attach an
external antenna, hold it perpendicular to the round screw hole on the back of
the unit. Screw the antenna clockwise until it is firmly secured to the firewall.
Repeat these steps to secure the second antenna.
Bend the antennas toward the direction of the equipment that will be
connected to the wireless network.
Cisco RV220W Features
3
Front Panel
POWER—The Power light is green to indicate the unit is powered on. The light
flashes green when the power is coming on.
DIAG—The Diagnostic light blinks red when the system firmware is upgrading.
DMZ—When the DMZ light is green, DMZ is enabled. When the light is off, DMZ
is not enabled.
WIRELESS—The Wireless light is green when the wireless module is enabled.
The light is off when the wireless module is disabled. The light flashes green
when the firewall is transmitting or receiving data on the wireless module.
LAN—Each of the four LAN (Ethernet) ports of the Cisco RV220W has a column
in which the lights are displayed. Lights appear in the rows marked 10, 100,
and 1000 to identify the type of Ethernet interface that is active on the firewall.
For example, if the light appears next to 100 in the LAN1 column, the firewall's
LAN1 port is using a 100BASE-T connection. If the light appears next to 1000 in
the LAN1 column, the firewall's LAN1 port is using a 1000BASE-T (gigabit
Ethernet) connection.
If the lights are continuously lit green, the Cisco RV220W is connected to a
device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4). The light for a port flashes
green when the firewall is actively sending or receiving data over that port.
WAN—The WAN (Internet) light is green when the unit is connected to your
cable or DSL modem. The light flashes green when the unit is sending or
receiving data over the WAN port.
