To connect the SonicWave 231c to PoE and the network:
1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port on the PoE Injector to an existing WLAN zone interface on the firewall
or to an unused interface to be configured later in SonicOS.
2 Using a second Ethernet cable, connect the Data and Power Out port on the PoE injector to the LAN/POE port on your
SonicWave 231c.
Refer to your PoE Installation Guide for more information.
3 Plug the power cord of the PoE Injector into an appropriate power outlet.
