Step 2: "Configuring A Wireless Zone - SonicWALL SonicPoint Quick Start Manual

Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet Injector
If you are using the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet Injector (SonicWALL PoE Injector), you do not need
to plug a separate power cord into the SonicPoint. The SonicPoint has the option of receiving power
through the Ethernet cable inserted into its LAN port for enhanced deployment flexibility.
Note:
For more information on the SonicWALL PoE Injector, visit <http://www.sonicwall.com/products>.
To apply power with the SonicWALL PoE injector:
1. Plug the power cord of the SonicWALL PoE injector into the power outlet.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Data and Power out port on the SonicWALL PoE injector and
connect the other end of the cable to the LAN port on the back of your SonicPoint.

Configuring a Wireless Zone

SonicOS Enhanced 2.5 (or higher) running on a SonicWALL security appliance provides you with
a Wireless zone type. SonicOS automatically searches for SonicPoints connected to a Wireless
zone and configures them with the default profile for that zone. SonicOS only allows traffic from a
SonicPoint to pass through a Wireless zone. All traffic coming into the zone from a device other
than a SonicPoint is dropped. SonicOS Enhanced 2.5 (or higher) offers a default Wireless zone
called the "WLAN" zone.
Note:
You can create custom Wireless zones to manage different levels of security. When you create the
new zone, select Wireless for the Zone Type. For instructions on creating custom zones, refer to the
SonicWALL SonicOS Enhanced Administrator's Guide, available on your resource CD or from the
SonicWALL web site at <http://www.sonicwall.com/services/documentation.html>.
