Connecting Cables for the SonicWave 432o
Provide adequate grounding to the SonicWave 432o and the PoE injector. Use the grounding screw and wire.
Consult a certified electrician to ensure that all grounding and cabling is installed in compliance with local
electrical codes. The SonicWave 432o is powered through Power over Ethernet (PoE), and should be cabled with
CAT5e Ethernet cabling.
When using PoE, a SonicWall 802.3at compliant midspan PoE line injector (sold sComeparately), or an 802.3at
compliant switch is required to power each SonicWave 432o.
To connect PoE to a SonicWave 432o:
1 Install the cable gland adapter assembly through the LAN/PoE sealing nut, slide claw, and seal onto the
RJ45 Ethernet cable.
2 Slide the seal and claw into the SonicWave 432o port.
3 Secure the seal nut onto the main assembly body.
4 Tighten the assembly by hand (finger-tight).
5 Repeat using a second Ethernet cable, connecting to the Data & Power out port on the SonicWall PoE
Midspan injector to the LAN1/PoE port on your SonicWave 432o.
6 Plug the power cord of the SonicWall PoE injector into an appropriate power outlet.
7 Wait for the LAN1 LED on the SonicWave 432o to illuminate green. This indicates an active connection.
NOTE: Complete installation and mounting instructions for this product are available in translation in the
Safety and Regulatory Reference Guide for this product. See Product Safety and Regulatory Information.
NOTE: To maximize the SonicWave 432o’s power capabilities, connect the PoE to a 2.5Gb
port on the firewall.
IMPORTANT: Be sure cables are connected correctly.
CAUTION: A multi-gigabit 802.3at compliant PoE injector or PoE-capable switch is required to
provide power to each SonicWave 432o.
To maintain power to the SonicWave 432o, the maximum length of CAT 5e cable from the 802.3at
PoE injector to the SonicWave 432o is 100 meters (333 feet).
