Installing SonicWave 231o Antennas
Prepare the SonicWave 231o for installation by connecting the antennas.
To connect the antennas to your SonicWave 231o:
1 Remove all four antennas from their bags and place one on each of the antenna connectors, matching the radio signals
(5GHz or 2.4GHz) marked on the antennas to those marked below the connectors.
2 Insert the antenna base firmly into the antenna connector.
3 Making sure there is no cross threading, fully tighten the silver knurled fitting using your fingers to the point that it
cannot turn with moderate force. Do not use or twist the white antenna housing enclosure while securing the antenna.
4Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each antenna.
SonicWave 231o Approved Alternative Antenna
Alternate antennas used with the SonicWave 231o must be approved and certified before use. To comply with
the local laws and regulations, an approval might be required by the local regulatory authorities. The included
antennas have been tested and approved for use with the SonicWave 231o model. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p) is not more than that required for successful communication. Contact SonicWall for a list
of antennas approved for use with the SonicWave 231o.
NOTE: This device must be professionally installed using either the supplied
antennas or with approved alternate antennas available from SonicWall.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the SonicWave 231o, all RF output ports must
be attached to an approved antenna before the radios are enabled.
