Connecting Ethernet Cables - SonicWALL SonicPoint ACe Getting Started Manual

Connecting Ethernet cables
The SonicPoint ACe may be powered with either the included
external power adaptor or through Power over Ethernet (PoE),
and can be cabled with CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cabling.
When using Power over Ethernet (PoE), use a SonicWall
802.3at compliant PoE line injector (sold separately), or an
802.3at compliant switch is required to power each SonicPoint
ACe.
To connect PoE to your SonicPoint ACe
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 ACe.
3 Plug the power cord of the SonicWall PoE injector into
an appropriate power outlet.
4 Wait for the LAN1 LED on the SonicPoint ACe to
illuminate green. This indicates an active connection.
See Product safety and regulatory information on page 29.
