Capabilities and Components
The SonicWall® SonicWave 224w is a wall‐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 four 1GbE LAN ports. It has internal antennas, and is powered with 802.3at
compliant PoE. One 1GbE LAN port provides PoE out for an 802.3af device.

SonicWave 224w Ports and LEDs
The LAN1/POE port is on the back panel of the SonicWave 224w. This is where you connect the access point to
the PoE injector or PoE‐enabled switch.
The back panel also has a blue Pass Through port, which is directly connected to the blue Pass Through port on
the bottom edge of the unit. Neither of these ports access any functionality in the SonicWave 224w, but allow
you to connect to a second network available in the same wall jack that provides your PoE‐enabled network
connection.
When the access point is installed, the back panel is attached to the wall.

SonicWave 224w Back Panel
The bottom edge provides more ports. The blue Pass Through port is directly connected to the blue Pass
Through port on the back panel of the unit, allowing you to connect to a second network available in the same
wall jack that provides your PoE‐enabled network connection.
The LAN4/POE OUT port provides PoE out to power an 802.3af device, such as an IP camera.
The LAN2 and LAN3 ports provide a way for you to connect directly to the SonicWave 224w over Ethernet for
access to the internet or internal networks via the SonicWall firewall that is connected to the SonicWave
224w.

Connecting PoE to the SonicWave 224w
The SonicWave 224w 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 224w.
To connect a PoE injector to the SonicWave 224w:
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 LAN1/POE IN port on your SonicWave 224w.
3 Plug the power cord of the SonicWall PoE injector into an appropriate power outlet.
4 Wait for the LAN LED on the SonicWave 224w to illuminate. This indicates an active connection

Mounting instructions.
Mounting Plate (Direct to wall or junction box)
Directly to wall
On the wall surface, mark the location to
make two screw holes.
For drywall use screw in anchors
For wood wall screw directly into wall.
Make hole in center of plate for Ethernet
wires.
Junction Box
Align holes on mounting plate with junction
box.
Use pan head screws appropriate junction
box.
Mounting AP to Bracket
• Place bracket tab in AP
mounting holes and slide AP
onto tabs
• Screw bracket screw into AP.
