Working with New Memory Requirements

As SonicWALL devices began to evolve, the company provided different versions of ROM to
accommodate varying levels of memory requirements. Beginning with SonicOS Enhanced 3.1, the
SonicWALL TZ Series 170, SonicWALL TZ Series 170W, and SonicWALL TZ Series 170SPW now
run the SonicPoint image at startup for distribution to connected SonicPoint devices, regardless of
which ROM version is present. The image is downloaded from software.sonicwall.com, and is DSA
signed with an embedded SHA1 hash to ensure integrity.
You can change the default path for SonicPoint image retrieval by performing the following steps:
1 Log into the SonicWALL security appliance that is managing the SonicPoint device.
2 Navigate to the System > Administration page.
3 From the Download URL section of the page, change the path of the SonicPoint image retrieval
point in the SonicPoint Download URL (http://) field. Make sure the last character in the path is a
forward slash (/).
Note: Note that the filename of the SonicPoint image is embedded within SonicOS. You can verify the
embedded filename at the bottom of the SonicPoint > SonicPoints page.
4 After downloading the SonicPoint image from mysonicwall.com, verify that the name is exactly as
it appears on the SonicPoint > SonicPoints page.
5 Place the image on the file system of the Web server in the path specified on the System >
Administration page.
Assuming your Web server is a Microsoft IIS Server, create a directory called sonicpoint in your
default Web site path. Place the file in this directory. Make sure anonymous access is allowed
and that no IP restrictions are in place which might prevent the SonicWALL from retrieving the
file.
Assuming your Web server is a Red Hat server, create a directory called sonicpoint in the
default document root directory and place the file in this directory. Make sure no authentication
or access restrictions are in place which could prevent the SonicWALL from retrieving the file.
