| 29 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.
