Installing Antennas (Sonicpoint-Ne Only); Connecting Ethernet Cable - SonicWALL SonicPoint-Ne Getting Started Manual

Installing Antennas (SonicPoint-Ne Only)

To install the SonicPoint-Ne 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 optimal reception.
Note:
For optimal wireless coverage in most cases, the
SonicPoint-Ne antennas should be oriented vertically.
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.

Note:
The SonicPoint-Ne 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
region before using other antennas.

Connecting Ethernet Cable

The illustration on the following page depicts the SonicPoint
within a typical network deployment.
Ethernet Cabling: SonicPoint-Ne vs SonicPoint-Ni
While the SonicPoint-Ne may be powered with either the
included external power adaptor or through Power over
Ethernet (PoE), the SonicPoint-Ni must be powered using
Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Both SonicPoint appliances should be cabled with CAT5,
CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cabling. In addition, the SonicPoint-Ni
will not function unless the Ethernet connection to its LAN port
is powered either by using the SonicWALL PoE line injector
(sold separately), or by using a third-party 802.3af compliant
PoE powered switch. For more information on the SonicWALL
PoE injector, visit:
