How to setup a new Sonicpoint Ni with a Sonicwall TZ105W

Good evening,

I'm trying to setup a new Sonicpoint Ni APL21-083 with a TZ 105W APL22-09C.
From out of the box I plugged in to the correct WLAN designated port, tried scanning for it but don't see it anywhere in the Sonicpoint config.
Can someone step me through setting these devices up?
We wanted the 105W and the Ni to have the same WLAN that hands off seamless under the same SSID. So peeps don't notice a transition.

Exactly what we needed. This explains how to setup a SonicPoint on your profile. Here's our simplifed notes:

1)      Port Sheild groups port: whatever port plugged into: needs to be “independent” not X0
2)      Then go to Interfaces: and change Zone IP Assigment to “Static” give it a 172.x.x.x address
3)      Then go back to Zones: select WLAN, edit, go to Wireless tab, select “only allow traffic generated by a sonicpoint” and also make sure Provisioning Profiles match the SonicpointN profile
