Installing the Cisco RV110W
Placement Tips
• 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.
Place the Cisco RV110W horizontally on a flat surface so that it sits on its rubber
feet.
Connecting the Equipment
You must connect a PC with an Ethernet cable for the purpose of the initial
configuration. After you complete the initial configuration, administrative tasks can
be performed by using a wireless connection.
STEP 1 Power off all equipment, including the cable or DSL modem, the PC, and the
Cisco RV110W.
STEP 2 You should already have an Ethernet cable connecting your PC to your current
cable or DSL modem. Unplug one end of the cable from your PC and plug it into
the port marked “WAN” on the unit.
