Setting Up the SonicWALL TZ 170

Physically setting up your SonicWALL security appliance involves:
• Installing the Antennas
• Adjusting the Antennas
• Applying Power
• Applying Power with the SonicWALL Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector

Installing the Antennas

To use the wireless feature of the SonicWALLTZ 170 Wireless, you must install the
antennas on the back of the appliance. Remove the antennas from the bag and place
one on each connector. Finger tighten the fittings on the connectors.

Adjusting the Antennas

You can adjust the antennas for best radio reception. In most cases, the antennas should
be pointing straight up and perpendicular to the box. Start from that position, and move
them until you notice better reception. Certain area, such as the area directly below the
SonicWALLTZ 170 Wireless, have relatively poorer reception.
