To connect a computer or server that will be a DMZ host:

•

RV042, RV042G, and RV082:

Connect an Ethernet cable from the

DMZ/

Internet

port to the DMZ host.

•

RV016:

Connect an Ethernet cable from the

DMZ

port to the DMZ host.

STEP

To connect other network devices, such as computers, print servers, or Ethernet

switches, connect an Ethernet cable from a numbered LAN port to the network

device.

STEP 6

Power on the broadband network device(s).

STEP

7

Use the power adapter (RV042 and RV042G) or the power cable (RV082 and

RV016) to connect the router to a power outlet. The System status light is green.

STEP

8

Power on the other network devices.

Getting Started with the Configuration

STEP 1

Connect a computer to a numbered LAN port on the router. Your PC will become a

DHCP client of the router and will receive an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.

STEP

2

Start a web browser. To use the configuration utility, you need a PC with Internet

Explorer (version 6 and higher), Firefox, or Safari (for Mac).

STEP

3

In the address bar, enter the default IP address of the router:

192.168.1.1

STEP 4

When the login page appears, enter the default user name

admin

and the default

password

admin

(lowercase).

STEP

5

Click

Login

. The

System Summary

page appears.

The router’s default settings are sufficient for many small businesses. Your Internet

Service Provider may require additional settings. On the

System Summary

page,

check the WAN Status to see if the router was able to receive an IP Address. If not,

continue to the next step.

Cisco strongly recommends setting a strong administrator password to prevent

unauthorized access to your router. For more information about all settings, refer to

the online Help and the

Troubleshooting Tips

If you have trouble connecting to the Internet or the web-based configuration

utility:

•

Verify that your web browser is not set to Work Offline.

•

Check the Local Area Connection settings for your Ethernet adapter. The PC

needs to obtain an IP address through DHCP. Alternatively, it can have a

static IP address in the 192.168.1.x range with the default gateway set to

192.168.1.1 (the router’s default IP address).

•

Verify that you entered the correct settings in the Wizard to set up your

Internet connection, including the username and password if required.

•

Try resetting the modem and the router by powering off both devices. Next,

power on the modem and let it sit idle for about 2 minutes. Then power on

the router. You should now receive a WAN IP address.

•

Check the DHCP IP address range of your modem. If the modem uses the

192.168.1.x range, disconnect the cable from the modem to the router, and

then launch the router configuration utility. In the navigation tree, choose

Setup > Network

. Enter a new Device IP Address, such as 10.1.1.1 or

192.168.0.1. Alternatively, if you have a DSL modem, leave all settings as is

and instead ask your ISP to put the DSL modem into bridge mode.
