Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector (TZ 170 Wireless)

Installing the Antennas (TZ 170 Wireless)

To use the wireless feature of the TZ 170 Wireless, you must install the antennas on the back of the 
appliance. Remove the antennas from the bag and place one on each connector. Finger tighten the fittings 
on the connectors. 

Adjusting the Antennas (TZ 170 Wireless)

You can adjust the antennas for best radio reception. In most cases, the antennas should be pointing 
straight up and perpendicular to the box. Start from that position, and move them until you notice better 
reception. Certain area, such as the area directly below the TZ 170 Wireless, have relatively poorer 
reception.

Mounting (TZ 170 Wireless)

Step-by-step instructions for mounting the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless on a wall or ceiling are available in 
the 

Regulatory Statement and Safety Instructions

 document included in your package.
