Configuration Next Steps
Although the Setup Wizard automatically configures the RV180/RV180W, we
recommend that you change some default settings to provide better security and
performance.
In addition, you may need to manually configure some settings. A suggested
outline of steps follows:
Change the administrator name and password—See “Configuring User
Accounts” on page 131.
Change the idle timeout value—By default, The Device Manager logs you
out after 10 minutes of inactivity. This can be frustrating if you are trying to
configure your device. See “Setting the Session Timeout Value” on page
132.
(Optional) If you already have a DHCP server on your network, and you do
not want the Cisco RV80/1RV180W to act as a DHCP server, see
“Configuring the LAN (Local Network) Settings” section on page 32.
(Cisco RV180W) Configure your wireless network, especially wireless
security. See Chapter 3, “Configuring the Wireless Network (Cisco
RV180W).”
Configure your Virtual Private Network (VPN) using QuickVPN. The
QuickVPN software is found on the documentation and software CD that
shipped with your firewall. See Appendix A, “Using Cisco QuickVPN for
Windows 7, 2000, XP, or Vista.
