CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the SonicWave 231o, all RF output ports must be attached to an
approved antenna before the radios are enabled.
For details regarding these alternately approved antennas (including important safety information) refer to the
respective antenna guides. Some antennas might not be offered for sale in all countries. Contact SonicWall for
purchasing information.
The SonicWave default antenna configuration only supports Omni/Dipole antennas as shipped from the
factory. When any other antenna or antenna pair is installed, the professional installer must correctly
configure the SonicWave for the new antennas before enabling the radios. Configuration instructions are
included in this guide and with each antenna.
Connecting Ethernet Cables
Provide adequate grounding to the SonicWave 231o and the PoE injector. The grounding screw and wire are
provided for this purpose. Consult a certified electrician to ensure that all grounding and cabling is installed in
compliance with local electrical codes. The SonicWave 231o is powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE),
and should be cabled with CAT5e Ethernet cabling.
When using PoE, a SonicWall 802.3afcompliant midspan PoE line injector (sold separately), or an
802.3afcompliant switch is required to power each SonicWave 231o.
NOTE:
To maximize the SonicWave 231o's power capabilities, connect the PoE to a 2.5Gb port on the
firewall.
