SonicWALL TZ 190
Getting Started Guide
This Getting Started Guide contains installation procedures and configuration guidelines
for deploying a SonicWALL TZ 190 appliance on your network.
SonicWALL TZ 190 provides a flexible, total Internet security platform for wired and
wireless users over Wireless Wide Area Networks (WWAN). This easy to configure
appliance delivers the office-on-a-park-bench mobility and convenience of WWAN
technology along with the powerful protection of true layered security, integrating
gateway anti-virus, gateway anti-spyware, intrusion prevention and content filtering
capabilities in an easy-to-use, low cost platform.
This Getting Started Guide provides instructions for basic installation and configuration of
the SonicWALLTZ 190 appliance using a SonicWALL approved WWAN PC card and
service from a third-party wireless provider. After you complete this guide, you will have
secure Internet access (WAN / WWAN) and a secure Local Area Network (LAN).
The SonicWALLTZ 190 appliance requires the use of a SonicWALL approved WWAN
PC card along with a data account from a supported third-party wireless service provider.
For an updated list of SonicWALL approved WWAN cards and service providers, visit the
SonicWALL TZ 190 product page at:
<http://www.sonicwall.com/us/tz190cards.html>
Alert: DO NOT INSERT YOUR WWAN PC CARD INTO ANY DEVICE UNTIL YOU
HAVE READ THIS GUIDE.
INSERTING YOUR WWAN PC CARD INTO A DEVICE BEFORE PROPER
SETUP AND PROVISIONING HAS TAKEN PLACE CAN RESULT IN
CONNECTIVITY ISSUES.
Note: SonicWALL makes no warrants, representations or claims that the user of this
product will experience continuous broadband-like speeds. The speed of the
WWAN connection will vary depending on available wireless technology (GPRS/
HSDPA/EV-DO), WWAN card, wireless service area and other factors.

Important Information Regarding WWAN Service Providers
It is important to understand that not all WWAN service providers operate in the same
way, nor do they all support the same feature sets. Because of this, there exists some
inherent “service provider-specific” variances in service area and more importantly, in
supported features. Along with feature limitations may also come certain restrictions
such as bandwidth constraints and networking limitations. Before purchasing a WWAN
PC card and service plan, check to make sure that the WWAN service provider offers
support for the features you need.
Before committing to a service contract with a WWAN service provider, it may be
helpful to ask these questions:
• What types of traffic are allowed over the WWAN network?
• Do they offer “static” or “dynamic” IP addressing?
• Are there any inbound connection limitations?
• Are single or multiple hosts allowed?
• Do they support VPN traffic?
• What are the data transfer limits (inbound and outbound)?
• What are common data transfer speeds and how much of the coverage area
supports 3G or faster technology?
