Setting Up the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless

Physically setting up your SonicWALL security appliance involves:

• Installing the Antennas

• Adjusting the Antennas

• Applying Power

• Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector

Installing the Antennas

To use the wireless feature of the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless, you must install the

antennas on the back of the appliance. Remove the antennas from the bag and place

one on each connector. Finger tighten the fittings on the connectors.

Adjusting the Antennas

You can adjust the antennas for best radio reception. In most cases, the antennas

should be pointing straight up and perpendicular to the box. Start from that position, and

move them until you notice better reception. Certain areas, such as the area directly

below the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless, have relatively poorer reception.

SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless Getting Started Guide Page 7

Applying Power

1. Plug the power supply into back of the SonicWALL security appliance and into an

appropriate power outlet.

The Power LED on the front panel lights up green when you plug in the

SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless. The Test LED lights up and may blink while the

appliance performs a series of diagnostic tests. When the Test light is no longer lit,

the SonicWALL security appliance is ready for configuration.

If the Test LED remains lit after the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless has booted, restart

the SonicWALL security appliance.

For more troubleshooting information, refer to the SonicOS Standard Administrator’s

Guide.

Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Injector

The SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless can use a regular power supply, or it can get power

through the LAN 1 Ethernet port using the an 802.3af standard PoE injector, like the

SonicWALL PoE Injector.

To apply power with the SonicWALL PoE Injector:

1. Plug the power cord of the PoE injector into the power outlet.

2. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Data and Power out port on the PoE Injector and

connect the other end of the cable to the LAN 1 port on the back of your SonicWALL

TZ 170 Wireless.

Alert: The PoE Injector Ethernet cable must only be inserted into the LAN 1 port to

power the SonicWALL TZ 170 Wireless.
