Connecting Cables for SonicWave 231o

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 attach the SonicWave 231o to the mounting bracket and then connect the ground
wire and a CAT 5e PoE/network cable.
CAUTION:
appliance is required to provide power to each SonicWave 231o.
To maintain power to the SonicWave 231o, the maximum length of CAT 5e cable from the PoE
device to the SonicWave 231o is 100 meters (333 feet).
To attach the SonicWave 231o to the mounting bracket:
1 Line up the four mounting peg slots on the back of the SonicWave 231o with the mounting pegs on the mounting
bracket.
2 Insert the mounting pegs into the SonicWave 231o and slide the access point sideways to slide the pegs into the narrow
ends of the slots.
3 Using a screwdriver, tighten the locking screw on the bracket to secure the SonicWave to the bracket.
To connect the ground wire to the SonicWave 231o:
1 Insert the provided ground connector screw into the star washer and then into the ring connector of the provided
grounding wire.
2 Insert the ground connector screw into the SonicWave 231o and tighten with a screwdriver to securely attach the
grounding wire to the unit.
3 Securely attach the other end of the grounding wire to ground.
To connect the SonicWave 231o to PoE and the network:
1 Unscrew the cable gland sealing nut from the SonicWave and remove it along with the rubber seal and seal clamp,
noting the orientation and positions of these parts.
2 Insert the CAT 5e Ethernet cable end (with RJ45 connector attached) through the sealing nut, then through the seal
clamp.
3 Insert the RJ45 connector into the LAN(POE) port, clicking it securely in place.
4 Pry apart the two sides of the rubber seal and then press them together around the Ethernet cable between the seal
clamp and the RJ45 connector.
5 Slide the seal clamp over the end of the rubber seal and push the rubber seal into the port opening on the SonicWave,
making sure to match the wave pattern on the edge of the seal clamp with the pattern on the edge of the port opening.
6 Screw the sealing nut securely onto the port opening.
7 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Data and Power Out port on the PoE injector or PoE enabled switch.
8 Using a second Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port on the PoE Injector or switch to an existing WLAN zone interface
on the firewall or to an unused interface to be configured later in SonicOS.
Refer to your PoE Installation Guide for more information.
9 Plug the power cord of the PoE Injector into an appropriate power outlet.
10 Wait up to two minutes for the LAN LED on the SonicWall 231o to illuminate. This indicates an active connection.
An 802.3af compliant PoE injector, PoE enabled switch, or SonicWall PoE enabled
