NOTE: Complete installation and mounting instructions for this product are available in translation in the
Safety and Regulatory Reference Guide for this product. See
This section describes how to connect the PoE and network cables and then attach the SonicWave 224w to the
mounting plate.
The SonicWave 224w connects to a WLAN zone interface on your SonicWall network security appliance. The
access point is powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE), with the PoE device positioned between the
SonicWave 224w and the firewall. SonicWall recommends using CAT5e Ethernet cables to connect the devices.
CAUTION:
to each SonicWave 224w.
To maintain power to the SonicWave 224w, the maximum length of CAT5e cable from the PoE
device to the SonicWave 224w is 100 meters (333 feet).
To connect the SonicWave 224w 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 LAN1/PoE IN port on
your SonicWave 224w.
Refer to your PoE Installation Guide for more information.
Alternatively, insert the Ethernet cable wires into the corresponding punch down blocks and use a 110 punch down tool
to secure the wires.
3 Plug the power cord of the PoE Injector into an appropriate power outlet.
4 Wait up to two minutes for the LAN LED on the SonicWave 224w to illuminate. This indicates an active connection.
5 Optionally connect a second Ethernet cable or wires to the Pass Through port or punch down blocks.
To attach the SonicWave 224w to the mounting plate:
1 Line up the two mounting tab insert points on the back of the SonicWave 224w with the mounting tabs on the mounting
plate.
2 Insert the mounting tabs into the SonicWave 224w and slide the access point slightly to the left to engage the tabs in the
insert points.
3 Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the mounting screw to securely attach the SonicWave 224w to the mounting plate.
An 802.3at compliant PoE injector or PoE enabled switch is required to provide power
