Quick Start Installation Guide
Thank you for purchasing a SonicWALL Internet security appliance. The SonicWALL acts as a
secure barrier between your private LAN and the public Internet (WAN) to protect your network
from security threats on the Internet.
If you are currently familiar with firewalls or networking equipment, the QuickStart Guide
provides instructions to establish connectivity between your network and the Internet using the
SonicWALL. If you are new to networks and the Internet, begin the installation process on page
17.
Note:
This guide covers initial installation instructions for all SonicWALL Internet security
appliances. The instructions are the same for all hardware models.
Below are rear panel descriptions for each SonicWALL hardware platform. The SonicWALL TELE3
and SOHO3 models have a
LAN
port and
WAN
port. The PRO 100, PRO 200, and the PRO 300
have a
LAN
port, a
WAN
port, and a
DMZ
port. The QuickStart Guide covers only the
LAN
port
and the
WAN
port. For information on the DMZ port, please refer to your SonicWALL manual.

Apply Power to the SonicWALL
If you are installing a TELE3, SOHO3, or PRO 100, attach the power supply to the power
cord. Plug the power input into the SonicWALL and the other end into a power outlet.
If you are installing a PRO 200 or PRO 300, attach the power cable to the power input of
the SonicWALL, and plug the other end into an AC power outlet. Use the power switch to
turn on the SonicWALL.

Connect the SonicWALL to the Internet
Connect the SonicWALL WAN port to your cable modem, DSL modem, or Internet
router using the red crossover cable. The Link LED should light up indicating a
connection. If it does not light, use the grey Ethernet cable to establish a connection.
The two cables can be interchanged without damage to the SonicWALL or your
computer.
Connect the SonicWALL to Your Network
Connect the grey Ethernet cable to the SonicWALL LAN port. Connect the other end
to your computer at the network port. The LAN link LED should light up indicating a
connection. If the Link LED does not light, try the red crossover cable.

Check Link LEDs
If
a
Link
LED does not light after connecting a cable, try connecting the ports using the
other cable in the box. For instance, if you used the red
Crossover
cable to connect the
WAN
port to the cable modem, DSL modem, or your Internet router and the
Link
LED
does not light, try connecting the grey
Ethernet
cable to the ports.
The SonicWALL Test LED stays lit when the SonicWALL is powered on initially. It stays lit
while the SonicWALL performs a series of diagnostic tests.
