What You Need to Begin

The SonicWALL SonicPoint-Ne/Ni security appliances are centrally managed by SonicWALL NSA E-Class appliances. For more
information on deploying this SonicPoint with SonicWALL NSA series and TZ series platforms, contact your local SonicWALL sales
representative for the supported SonicOS releases. SonicPoints receive auto-firmware updates from the central gateway SonicWALL,
this device supports SonicOS 5.6.0.3 or higher releases.
In addition to the above SonicOS firmware and hardware requirements, ensure that your network deployment includes:
• An 802.3af compliant PoE injector or PoE-capable switch (optional when using the SonicPoint-Ne)
• An active Internet connection
• A configured interface on the SonicWALL security appliance set to a zone type of "wireless"
• A location selected for placement of your SonicPoint such as a wall or ceiling
• Clients capable of 802.11n wireless communications
1. Although clients with 802.11a/b/g hardware are supported, the presence of these legacy clients within range of your network may affect the connection
speed of your 802.11n clients.
