II. Auto-Registration of SonicWall access points:

Your SonicWall access points is not registered in MySonicWall.com? No problem, just connect your SonicWall access points to a SonicWall interface on your WLAN zone.
In this example we have connected and configured a SonicWall access point to interface X4 in the WLAN zone.

III. Manual Registration of SonicWall access points:

Take a note of the Serial Number (12 digits Hexadecimal Number) and Authentication Code (8 digits) from back of the Appliance. You can also obtain this information from the label on the shipment box:
www.mysonicwall.com and login to your MySonicWall account using your account credentials.
Under My Products, click on Register Product to go to the product registration page:
To associate the access point to a SonicWall, go to My Products and select Product Management.
Chose a SonicWall appliance that you want to associate the access point. In this example we will pick a SonicWall NSA 250. Clicking on the SonicWall appliance link takes you to its Service Management page.
My Product - Associated Products page.
Your SonicWall access point is now registered and associated to a SonicWall. In this example a SonicPoint N2 is registered and associated to a SonicWall NSA 250.
