To attach the mounting plate to a junction box:
1
Place the smooth side of the mounting plate against the junction box with the Ethernet ports showing
through the center hole.
2
Align at least two of the mounting plate holes with two holes on the junction box.
3
Using the screws and a screwdriver, securely attach the mounting plate to the junction box.
Installing the SonicWave 224w
This section describes how to connect the PoE and network cables and then attach the SonicWave 224w to the
mounting plate.
The SonicWave 224w is powered by a power adapter (sold separately) or by Power over Ethernet (PoE). SonicWall
recommends using CAT 5e cables to connect PoE to the access point.
CAUTION:
When using PoE to power the device, an 802.3at compliant PoE injector, PoE enabled
switch, or SonicWall PoE enabled appliance is required to provide power to each SonicWave 224w.
To maintain power to the SonicWave 224w, the maximum length of CAT 5e cable from the PoE
device to the SonicWave 224w is 100 meters (333 feet).
To connect the SonicWave 224w to PoE and the network:
1
Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port on the PoE Injector or switch to an interface on your
network device. If using a SonicWall firewall, connect it to an existing WLAN zone interface on the
firewall 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 PoE injector to the
LAN1/PoE IN port on your SonicWave 224w.
Refer to your PoE Installation Guide for more information.
Alternatively, insert the Ethernet cable wires into the corresponding punch down blocks and use a 110
punch down tool to secure the wires. See the SonicWave 224w online documentation for pin-out
information.
3
Plug the power cord of the PoE Injector into an appropriate power outlet.
4
Wait up to two minutes for the LAN LED on the SonicWave 224w to illuminate. This indicates an active
connection.
Optionally connect a second Ethernet cable or wires to the Pass Through
5
To attach the SonicWave 224w to the mounting bracket:
1
Line up the two mounting tab insert points on the back of the SonicWave 224w with the mounting
tabs on the mounting plate.
2
Insert the mounting tabs into the SonicWave 224w and slide the access point slightly to the left to
engage the tabs in the insert points.
3
Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten the mounting screw to securely attach the SonicWave 224w to the
mounting plate.
