SonicWALL SonicPoint Wireless Access Points

The SonicWALL Secure Distributed Wireless Solution is the first wireless networking security solution that
integrates 802.11a/b/g wireless management and security enforcement into an enterprise-class firewall and
VPN appliance. The innovative SonicWALL Secure Distributed Wireless Solution scales to fit virtually any
network deployment by distributing SonicPoints at optimal locations throughout the building. Available in
IEEE 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g options, SonicPoints are dependent access points that are utilized to
provide seamless, secure wireless LAN (WLAN) connectivity as well as advanced features and services.
SonicPoints can receive 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) to aid in their convenient deployment in any
network.
You can add extensive wireless capability to your TZ 180 security appliance by upgrading to SonicOS
Enhanced, which allows you to install up to eight SonicPoint or SonicPoint-G appliances on the OPT and
DMZ interface. When combined with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, you can provide power and
connect the SonicPoints to the TZ 180 security appliance. SonicWALL's innovative central management
system allows you to create shared wireless profiles on the TZ 180 security appliance, eliminating the need
to individually configure each SonicPoint. Just plug them into the PoE switch and they automatically
provision themselves with the newest firmware and settings files.Figure 19 provides an example of the
recommended deployment of SonicPoints with a TZ 180 security appliance.
