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.

• 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.

For desktop placement, place the Cisco RV220W unit horizontally on a flat 
surface so that it sits on its four rubber feet.

The Cisco RV220W can be wall-mounted. You will need the following (not 
supplied):

• 2 screws

• 2 drywall anchors (if installing onto drywall)

The dimensions for these parts are as follows:

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:

Determine where you want to mount the firewall. Verify that the surface 
is smooth, flat, dry, and sturdy. 

For horizontal mounting, drill two pilot holes into the surface 5-7/8 
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. 

(Optional) If using drywall anchors, hammer into holes.

Insert a screw into each hole in the surface, leaving a gap between the 
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.

With the back panel pointing up (if installing horizontally), line up the 
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.

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.

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.
