Connecting Ethernet Cables - SonicWALL sonicpoint ACI Getting Started Manual

Connecting Ethernet cables
The SonicPoint ACi can be cabled with CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6
Ethernet cabling.
The SonicPoint ACi is powered using Power over Ethernet
(PoE). A SonicWall 802.3at compliant PoE line injector (sold
separately), or an 802.3at compliant switch is required to
power each SonicPoint ACi.
To connect PoE to your SonicPoint ACi
1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port on
the SonicWall PoE Injector to an existing WLAN zone
interface 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 SonicWall PoE injector to the
LAN1/PoE port on your SonicPoint ACi.
3 Plug the power cord of the SonicWall PoE injector into
an appropriate power outlet.
4 Wait for the LAN1 LED on the SonicPoint ACi to
illuminate green. This indicates an active connection.

to each SonicPoint ACi is required.
To maintain 25 watts of power to the SonicPoint ACi,
the maximum length of CAT5e cable from the 802.3at
PoE injector to the SonicPoint ACi is 30 meters.
