It provides 2x2 MIMO spatial streams for the 802.11b/g/n/ac radio module, with dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, and one 1GbE LAN port. It has internal antennas, and is powered with 802.3at compliant PoE. SonicWave 231c Hardware Components Component Number or Description 1GbE LAN port 1 Ethernet LAN port, 10/100/1000bps USB 2.0 port 1 Radios 2x2 802.11n + 2x2 802.11ac MU‐MIMO Scanning radio Third radio dedicated for scanning Bluetooth Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio Antenna type Internal Antenna quantity 6 (2.4Ghz x 2 / 5Ghz x 2 / BLE x 1 / Scan Radio x 1) Power source 802.3at PoE (standard, PoE sold separately) Chassis Rectangular, Plenum rated Operating temperature 0° to 40°C The dedicated scanning radio scans the wireless channels for current connections and helps determine the least crowded channels when a wireless device attempts to connect. SonicWave 231c Ports and LEDs The LAN POE port is on the back panel of the SonicWave 231c. This is where you connect the access point to the PoE injector or PoE‐enabled switch. When the access point is installed, the back panel is attached to the ceiling mount hardware. SonicWave 231c Back Panel
SonicWall SonicWave 231 c Beta Quick Start Guide 2 The side panel of the SonicWave 231c has the LED indicators and the USB port. SonicWave 231c Side Panel Connecting PoE to the SonicWave 231c The SonicWave 231c is powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE), and should be connected with CAT5e or higher rated Ethernet cabling (max length 100 meters). A multi‐gigabit 802.3at compliant PoE injector or PoEcapable switch is required to provide power to the SonicWave 231c. To connect a PoE injector to the SonicWave 231c:
SonicWall SonicWave 231 c Beta Quick Start Guide 3 1 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the Data In port on the SonicWall PoE Injector to an existing WLAN zone interface on the SonicWall firewall or to an unused interface to be configured later in SonicOS. 2 Using a second Ethernet cable, connect the Data and Power Out port on the SonicWall PoE injector to the LAN/POE port on your SonicWave 231c. 3 Plug the power cord of the SonicWall PoE injector into an appropriate power outlet. 4 Wait for the LAN LED on the SonicWave 231c to illuminate. This indicates an active connection. Installation Safety Requirements The following conditions are required for proper installation: 1 Mount in a location away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. A maximum ambient temperature of 104º F (40º C) is recommended. 2 Route cables away from power lines, fluorescent lighting fixtures, and sources of noise such as radios, transmitters, and broadband amplifiers 3 Ensure that no water or excessive moisture can enter the unit. 4 Allow unrestricted airflow around the unit and through the vents on the side of the unit. A minimum of 1 inch (25.44mm) clearance is recommended. 5 Consideration must be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit and that the effect of overloading the circuits has minimal impact on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings must be used when addressing this concern. 6 This equipment is not intended for use at workplaces with visual display units, in accordance with §2 of the German ordinance for workplaces with visual display units. To avoid incommoding reflections at visual display workplaces, this device must not be placed in the direct field of view. Cable Connections All Ethernet and RS232 (Console) cables are designed for intrabuilding connection to other equipment. Do not connect these ports directly to communication wiring or other wiring that exits the building where the appliance is located.

The following information is provided on the device or devices covered in this document in compliance with FCC regulations: • Product name: SonicWall SonicWave 231c Regulatory Model: APL44‐0CF • Company name: SonicWall Inc. is the responsible party for this product. For an EMC compliance issue or a regulatory inquiry, please use the following contact information: SonicWall Inc. 1033 McCarthy Boulevard Milpitas, California 95035 USA 408‐745‐9600 Radiation exposure statement (FCC) CAUTION: The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. This device has been evaluated for and shown compliant with
SonicWall SonicWave 231 c Beta Quick Start Guide 8 the FCC RF Exposure limits under mobile exposure conditions (antennas are greater than 30 cm from a person’s body). Details of the authorized configurations can be found at https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm by entering the FCC ID number on the device. United States of America authorized channels SonicWall declares that the APL44‐0CF (FCC ID: 2AKCZ‐0CF) when sold in the USA is limited to CH1‐CH11 by specified firmware controlled in the USA. CAUTION: This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15GHz to 5.25GHz frequency range. The FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15GHz to 5.25GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co‐channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25GHz to 5.35GHz and 5.65GHz to 5.85GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with this device or can cause damage to this device, or both. The APL44‐0CF device has been designed to operate with an internal antenna. Antenna is not user accessible. Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required on all Wireless LAN Master devices (usually Access Points) and Wireless LAN Clients (usually Wireless NICs) that operate within 5470MHz – 5725MHz. SonicWaves that have these frequencies and channels enabled in this range comply with North American and International DFS requirements. Some frequencies are blocked, and cannot be selected by the user per each specific regional approval. Specific to the USA, at the urging of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) user/installers should avoid operation frequencies near Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) systems frequencies 5600‐5650 MHz when installing a SonicWave within 35km of line‐of‐site of TDWR sites. If TDWR is within 35km the SonicWave, frequencies should be set to at least 30MHz above or below any TDWR system frequency at that site. TDWR locations and specific frequencies used can be found at http://spectrumbridge.com/udrs/home.aspx. Detailed current and background information can be found at http://www.wispa.org/?page_id=2341.
