What you need to begin
This page provides basic network hardware and software
prerequisites as a baseline for SonicPoint ACi deployments.
Hardware/firmware
requirements
The Dell SonicPoint ACi access points are centrally
managed by Dell SonicWALL appliances running SonicOS
5.9.1 or higher, or SonicOS 6.2.2 or higher.
Supported appliances running SonicOS 5.9.1 or higher:
• NSA E8510/E8500/E7500/E6500/E5500
• NSA 4500/3500/2400/2400MX/240
• NSA 250M Series / 220 Series
• TZ 215/205/105 Series
• TZ 210/200/100 Series
Supported appliances running SonicOS 6.2.2 or higher:
• SuperMassive 9600/9400/9200
• NSA 6600/5600/4600/3600/2600
8 | SonicPoint ACi available ports/status LEDs
Network deployment
requirements
In addition to the aforementioned SonicOS firmware and
hardware requirements, ensure that your network
deployment includes:
• An 802.3at compliant PoE injector or PoE-capable
switch
• An active Internet connection
• A configured interface on the Dell SonicWALL
security appliance set to a zone type of “wireless”
• A location selected for placement of your
SonicPoint such as a wall or ceiling. Refer to the
next chapter, Introduction to secure wireless on
page 9, for information about optimal placement of
your SonicPoint.
• Clients capable of 802.11ac wireless
communications. Note that although clients with
802.11 n/a/g/b hardware are supported, the
presence of these legacy clients within range of
your network could affect the connection speed of
your 802.11ac clients.

Connecting Ethernet
cables
The illustration on the following page depicts the
SonicPoint within a typical network deployment.
Ethernet cabling: SonicPoint
ACi
The SonicPoint ACi must be powered through Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
The SonicPoint appliance should be cabled with CAT5,
CAT5e, or CAT6 Ethernet cabling. For more information on
the Dell PoE injector, visit:
http://software.dell.com/products/
Connecting the PoE cable
If your deployment uses a Dell PoE injector, read and
comply with instructions provided with the PoE first, then
complete the following steps:
1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data in port
on the Dell PoE Injector to the WLAN zone interface
that you created earlier.
2 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data and
Power out port on the Dell PoE injector to the LAN
port on the back of your SonicPoint.
3 Wait for the link LED to illuminate. This indicates
an active connection. It takes approximately one
minute for the Dell SonicPoint security appliance to
auto-provision.

Mounting using anchor
screws
To mount the SonicPoint using included anchor screws:
1 On the mounting surface, mark the location to
make two screw holes. The marks should be
horizontally parallel to each other.
2 Drill the holes to accommodate the metal anchor
screws.
3 Screw the anchor screws into the holes to their full
depth.
4 Insert the 5/8” screws into the anchors, and screw
them in deep enough to leave minimal space
between the screw heads and the wall surface.
5 (Optional) Attach the front LED/logo cover plate to
the top of the SonicPoint and if necessary, rotate it
to the desired position.
6 Supporting the SonicPoint in your hands, securely
fit the underside slots of the SonicPoint onto the
screw heads.
