SonicExpress: Simple, Fast, Mobile Firewall Deployment

SonicExpress 2.5.1 makes firewall deployment faster and more mobile-friendly than ever, helping IT teams and MSSPs stay agile in any environment.

People are on their smartphones more than ever and rely on them for their personal and professional lives. With more people working on the go, the use of their mobile devices for office-related tasks increases. In a world where IT teams manage dozens or hundreds of distributed firewall deployments, the ability to configure and register appliances quickly and easily is more than a convenience; it’s essential. SonicExpress is built for that reality.

Whether deploying a TZ firewall in a remote office, troubleshooting connectivity issues at a branch location or onboarding new customer sites as an MSSP, SonicExpress gives you a mobile-first way to quickly complete those tasks, all without laptop or console access.

What Is SonicExpress?

SonicExpress is SonicWall’s mobile application for firewall setup, registration and basic configuration. Designed for IT admins, MSSPs and field technicians, it enables streamlined device onboarding through a clean, intuitive interface on iOS or Android.

Key capabilities include:

• Scanning QR codes to identify and onboard Firewalls, Switches, and Access Points.
• Registering appliances to MySonicWall accounts
• Applying initial configurations
• Syncing licenses and firmware
• Exporting and managing device settings
• Accessing Wireless Network Manager (WNM)

Use Cases

1. Zero-Touch Deployments for Field Technicians

You can set up a SonicWall firewall without bringing a laptop on-site. Scan the device’s QR code, connect via USB Cable, run through the step-by-step setup wizard onboard the device, and apply configurations in minutes.

2. Centralized Multi-Tenant Device Management

Manage multiple customer devices or branch locations. You can view, register, and control fleets of firewalls across tenants.

Are you on-site at a branch office and facing a connectivity issue? SonicExpress lets you jump in and check firmware, verify licensing, or export configurations for review without needing access to the WAN.

Perfect for scenarios with no immediate WAN access, such as mobile clinics, pop-up locations, or temporary deployments. You can register and configure without relying on the network's full internet connectivity.
