Capabilities and Components
The SonicWall® SonicWave 231c is a ceiling‐mountable wireless access point suitable for indoor single‐unit or
multi‐unit deployments. 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
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.

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:

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.
Power Supply Information
When this product's power is provided by the Ethernet cable plugged in to the “LAN” port, this is called
“Power over Ethernet” or “PoE.” The PoE source should only be UL listed marked “Class 2” or “LPS” with an
output rated 48 VDC, minimum 0.3 A, Tma: minimum 40 degrees C.
When powering via external power adapter via barrel jack, use only UL Listed power supply marked “Class 2”
or “LPS” with output rated 12Vdc, min. 2.0A, Tma: minimum 40 degrees Co.
