Installing Antennas - SonicWALL SonicPoint-N Dual-Band Getting Started Manual

Installing Antennas

This section describes installation of the included antennas.
To install the included antennas:
1. Remove the antennas from the bag and place one on each
connector.
2. Carefully finger tighten the fittings.
3. Adjust the antennas for best radio reception. In most
cases, the antennas should be pointing straight up and
perpendicular to the SonicPoint.

The circular design of the SonicPoint aides in creating a strong
tri-directional wireless signal pattern. In most cases, leaving the
antennas straight up (as indicated in the illustration) will provide
the best overall coverage. Be aware, however, that certain
areas, such as the areas directly below the SonicPoint, may
have weaker reception.
Note:
The SonicPoint is authorized to use a dipole antenna
with 4dBi or less. Only use antennas provided by
SonicWALL; otherwise your authority to use this unit
may be revoked. Be aware of the regulations in your
area before using other antennas with the SonicPoint.
