Installing antennas
To install the antennas on your SonicPoint N2
1 Remove all six antennas from their bags and place one
on each connector. Match the fittings with the antenna
style. There are three of each type.
2 Carefully finger‐tighten the fittings.
3 Adjust the antennas for optimal reception.
For optimal wireless coverage in most cases, the SonicPoint N2
antennas should be oriented vertically. The circular design of
the SonicPoint aides in creating a strong multi‐directional
wireless signal pattern. In most cases, leaving the antennas
straight up (as shown in the illustration) provides the best
overall coverage.
TIP: There may be a "dead" zone directly underneath
the SonicPoint N2 when it is mounted on the ceiling with
the antennas oriented vertically. You can mitigate this by
slightly angling the antennas.
CAUTION: The SonicPoint N2 uses dipole antennas with
5.5dBi at 5 GHz and 3.5dBi at 2.4 GHz. Only antennas
provided by SonicWall are authorized for use with the
SonicPoint N2. Be aware of the regulations in your
region before using other antennas.
Connecting Ethernet cables
The SonicPoint N2 can be cabled with CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6
Ethernet cabling.
