Connecting Ethernet
cables
The illustration on the following page depicts the
SonicPoint within a typical network deployment.
Ethernet cabling: SonicPoint
ACi
The SonicPoint ACi must be powered through Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
The SonicPoint appliance should be cabled with CAT5,
CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cabling. For more information on

Connecting the PoE cable
If your deployment uses a Dell PoE injector, read and
comply with instructions provided with the PoE first, then
complete the following steps:
1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port
on the Dell PoE Injector to the WLAN zone interface
that you created earlier.
2 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data and
Power out port on the Dell PoE injector to the LAN
port on the back of your SonicPoint.
3 Wait for the link LED to illuminate. This indicates
an active connection. It takes approximately one
minute for the Dell SonicPoint security appliance to
auto-provision.
