Connecting Ethernet Cable
The SonicPoint must be powered using Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
Your SonicPoint will not function unless the
ethernet connection to its LAN port is powered either by using
the SonicWALL PoE line injector (sold separately), or by using a
third-party 802.3af compliant PoE powered switch. For more
information on the SonicWALL PoE Injector, visit:

Connecting the PoE Cable
For third-party PoE devices, please follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. If your deployment uses a SonicWALL PoE
injector, read and comply with instruction provided with the POE
first, then complete the following steps:
1.
Plug the power cord of the SonicWALL PoE injector into the
power outlet.
2.
Using Ethernet cable (not included), connect the
Data in
port on the SonicWALL PoE Injector to the
WLAN
zone
interface that you created earlier.
3.
Using Ethernet cable, connect the
Data and Power out
port on the SonicWALL PoE injector to the
LAN
port on the
back of your SonicPoint.
4.
Wait for the
link
LED to illuminate. This indicates an active
connection. It takes approximately one minute for the
SonicWALL security appliance to auto-provision the
SonicPoint.
