LAN Ethernet Interfaces
The Cisco RV120W provides four full-duplex 10/100 Ethernet LAN interfaces that
can connect up to four devices.
Wireless Access Point
The wireless access point supports the 802.11n standard with MIMO technology,
which multiplies the effective data rate. This technology provides better
throughput and coverage than 802.11g networks.
Firewall and VPN Client Access
The Cisco RV120W incorporates a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI)-based firewall
with Denial of Service (DoS) prevention and a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
engine for secure communication between mobile or remote workers and branch
offices.
The Cisco RV120W supports up to ten gateway-to-gateway IP Security (IPsec)
tunnels to facilitate branch office connectivity through encrypted virtual links.
Users connecting through a VPN tunnel are attached to your company’s network
with secure access to files, e-mail, and your intranet as if they were in the building.
You can also use the VPN capability to allow users on your small office network to
securely connect out to a corporate network
Wireless Distribution System
The Cisco RV120W’s wireless access point supports Wireless Distribution
System (WDS), which allows the wireless coverage to be expanded without wires.
Virtual Networks
The access point also supports multiple SSIDs for the use of virtual networks (up
to 4 separate virtual networks), with 802.1Q-based VLAN support for traffic
separation.

Security
The Cisco RV120W implements WPA2-PSK, WPA2-ENT, and WEP encryption,
along with other security features including the disabling of SSID broadcasts,
MAC-based filtering, and allowing or denying “time of day” access per SSID.
Quality of Service
The Cisco RV120W supports Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) and Wi-Fi Multimedia
Power Save (WMM-PS) for wireless Quality of Service (QoS). It supports 802.1p,
Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP), and Type of Service (ToS) for wired
QoS, which can improve the quality of your network when using delay-sensitive
Voice over IP (VoIP) applications and bandwidth-intensive video streaming
applications.
Configuration and Administration
With the Cisco RV120W’s embedded web server, you can configure the firewall’s
settings using the browser-based Device Manager. The Cisco RV120W supports
Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari web browsers.

Front Panel
POWER
—The Power LED lights up green to indicate the device is powered on.
Flashes green when the power is coming on or software is being upgraded.
WAN LED
—The WAN (Internet) LED lights up green when the device is connected
to your cable or DSL modem. The LED flashes green when the device is sending
or receiving data over the WAN port.
WIRELESS
—The Wireless LED lights up green when the wireless module is
enabled. The LED is off when the wireless module is disabled. The LED flashes
green when the device is transmitting or receiving data on the wireless module.
LAN—
These four LEDs correspond to the four LAN (Ethernet) ports of the Cisco
RV120W. If the LED is continuously lit green, the Cisco RV120W is connected to a
device through the corresponding port (1, 2, 3, or 4). The LED for a port flashes
green when the Cisco RV120W is actively sending or receiving data over that port.

Back Panel
RESET Button
—The Reset button has two functions:
•
If the Cisco RV120W is having problems connecting to the Internet, press
the RESET button for less than five seconds with a paper clip or a pencil tip.
This is similar to pressing the reset button on your PC to reboot it.
•
If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Cisco RV120W and have
tried all other troubleshooting measures, press and hold in the RESET
button for 10 seconds. This will restore the factory defaults and clear all of
the Cisco RV120W settings.
LAN Ports (1-4)
—These ports provide a LAN connection to network devices,
such as PCs, print servers, or additional switches.
WAN Port—The WAN port is connected to your Internet device, such as a cable or
DSL modem.
ON/OFF Power Switch
—Press this button to turn the Cisco RV120W on and off.
When the button is pushed in, power is on.
Power Port—The power port is where you connect the AC power cable.

Mounting the Cisco RV120W
You can place your Cisco RV120W on a desktop or mount it on a wall.
Installation Guidelines
•
Ambient Temperature
—To prevent the device 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 device.
•
Mechanical Loading
—Be sure that the device is level and stable to avoid
any hazardous conditions.
For desktop placement, place the Cisco RV120W device horizontally on a flat
surface so that it sits on its four rubber feet.
Wall Mounting
STEP 1
Determine where you want to mount the device and install two screws (not
supplied) that are 2-7/16 in. apart (approximately 61 mm). Mounting screws should
have a head that is approximately 5.5 mm in diameter and 2 mm deep, with a shaft
that is at least15.5 mm long and approximately 3.5 mm wide. (Your wall may
require shorter or longer screws, or drywall anchors.)
Do not mount the screw heads flush with the wall; the screw heads must fit inside
the back of the device.
STEP
2
With the back panel pointing up (if installing vertically), line up the device so that
the wall-mount slots on the bottom of the device line up with the two screws.
