Setting Up the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless

Physically setting up your SonicWALL security appliance involves:
• Installing the Antennas
• Adjusting the Antennas
• Applying Power
• Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector
Installing the Antennas
To use the wireless feature of the SonicWALL 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
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 areas, such as the area directly
below the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless, have relatively poorer reception.
