If you are using a SonicWALL PoE Injector, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the WLAN zone
interface that you created earlier and the other end of the cable to the Data in port on the SonicWALL PoE
Injector. Connect the Data and Power out port on the SonicWALL PoE Injector to the LAN port on your

Note:
It takes approximately one minute for the SonicWALL security appliance to auto-provision the
SonicPoint. At the end of this process, your SonicPoint is configured with the settings in the default
SonicPoint provisioning profile.
Your SonicPoint should automatically display in the list on the Wireless > SonicPoints page. If it does not:
• Check that the SonicPoint is properly connected to the SonicWALL security appliance.
• Make sure the interface the SonicPoint is connected to is configured as part of a Wireless zone (WLAN
by default).
• Click the Synchronize SonicPoints button near the top-right corner of the page.
