I lost the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable – where can I get a new one?
You will need to contact SonicWALL tech support in order to obtain a replacement serial cable. Alternately, you can
make one, using the pinouts listed below:

Can I operate my TZ 170 SP with the cover removed?
NO! Operating the TZ 170 SP with the cover removed can cause permanent damage to the processor and
motherboard, and void the warranty. Do not power up your TZ 170 SP with the cover removed.
What are the interfaces on the TZ 170 SP?
LAN
- 5 port 10/100 Mbps switch
Opt. Zone
– 1 port 10/100 Mbps port (NOTE: disabled in SonicOS 2.6 Standard)
WAN – 1 port 10/100 Mbps
MODEM – 56Kbps V.92 analog modem
Are all of the fixed Ethernet interfaces on the TZ 170 SP AutoMDIX-capable?
Yes, all Ethernet interfaces are capable of automatically sensing polarity and adjusting to the cable type attached to
the interfaces (i.e. straight-through or crossover). Users are now free to attach either type of cable to the interfaces
when connecting the TZ 170 SP. Please note that if auto-negotiation of speed and duplex is disabled on a port, it
will also disable AutoMDIX.
Can I individually set the speed and duplex of the LAN switch’s 5 ports?
No, this is not possible. The speed and duplex configuration settings for the LAN interface apply to all five ports.
Can I hook a hub or switch up to the TZ 170 SP’s switch ports?
Yes, you can cascade hubs/switches off any interfaces on the TZ 170 SP.
Can I assign the LAN switch ports to different zones?
SonicOS 2.x Standard does not employ the Zone paradigm; interfaces will serve as the top level of the
configuration hierarchy. Upgrading to SonicOS Enhanced will offer up to three Zones (LAN, WAN, and a
configurable Zone) but the switch ports will be addressed as a single logical interface statically assigned to the LAN
Zone.
