What you need to
begin
This page provides basic network hardware and software
prerequisites as a baseline for SonicPoint-ACe deployments.
Hardware/firmware
requirements
The Dell SonicWALL SonicPoint-ACe access points are centrally
managed by any of the following Dell SonicWALL appliances
running SonicOS 5.6 or higher:
• SuperMassive 9000 Series
• NSA Series (including NSA 2400MX)
• TZ 215/205/105 Series
• TZ 210/200/100 Series
Network deployment
requirements
In addition to the aforementioned SonicOS firmware and
hardware requirements, ensure that your network deployment
includes:
• An 802.3af compliant PoE injector or PoE-capable
switch
• An active Internet connection
• A configured interface on the Dell SonicWALL security
appliance set to a zone type of “wireless”
• A location selected for placement of your SonicPoint
such as a wall or ceiling
• Clients capable of 802.11n wireless communications.
Note that although clients with 802.11 a/b/g hardware
are supported, the presence of these legacy clients
within range of your network may affect the
connection speed of your 802.11n clients.
