Setting Up the SonicWALL TZ 170 SP 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 SP 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 area, such as the area directly
below the SonicWALL TZ 170 SP Wireless, have relatively poorer reception.

SonicWALL TZ 170 SP Wireless Getting Started Guide Page 7
Applying Power
Plug the power supply into the back of the SonicWALL security appliance and into an
appropriate power outlet.
Alert: Only use a SonicWALL-approved 5V, 2.4A power supply.
The Power LED on the front panel lights up green when you plug in the power supply.
The Test LED lights up and may blink while the SonicWALL TZ 170 SP Wireless
performs a series of diagnostic tests. When the Test light is no longer lit, the SonicWALL
security appliance is ready.
If the Test LED remains lit, restart the SonicWALL security appliance.
For more trouble shooting information, refer to the SonicOS Enhanced Administrator’s
Guide.
Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Injector
The SonicWALL TZ 170 SP 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 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 SP Wireless.
Alert: The PoE Injector Ethernet cable must be inserted into the LAN 1 port only to
power the SonicWALL TZ 170 SP Wireless
