Using the provided template and two M3 screws, attach the unit to the wall or
ceiling using the two mounting holes at the bottom of the FortiAP unit. If placing
on desktop, attach the rubber feet to the unit.
Connect the following to the FortiAP unit:
1. Insert a network cable to the ETH PoE -48V port.
• Use straight-through cable for most equipment
• Use cross-over cable if connecting to FortiGate units without auto MDI
detect
2. Insert the other end of the network cable into your LAN Ethernet edge
switch, or directly to the FortiGate Controller.
3. If using PoE, connect the cable to the ETH PoE -48V port.
4. If not using PoE, connect the power adaptor to AC outlet and insert the
power adaptor connector to the FortiAP unit.
Note: Only FortiGate-60B units or higher can act as wireless controllers.
Caution: This device complies with 802.3af PoE specication. Do not use any
PoE injectors that are not 802.3af compliant as it may damage this device.
Conguring
The FortiAP is designed to require no conguration in most networks. Zero
Conguration mode works if the FortiAP is directly connected to the FortiGate
performing the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) functions, or on the same layer-2
network and subnet as the FortiGate.
To enable the FortiAP using Zero Conguration:
1. Connect the network and power cable as described in the Connecting sec-
tion.
2. Once power is applied, the FortiAP goes through boot procedure and re-
quests an IP address from the DHCP server.
3. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters discovery
mode to locate a FortiGate wireless controller. The discovery modes are:
• Broadcast
• Multicast
• DHCP option 138
4. If this is the rst time connecting the FortiAP to the controller, only the power
light and Port 0 LED is lit. If the FortiAP has been pre-provisioned in the
controller, the Wireless LED is also lit.
5. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller. In
FortiGate controller Web Cong, go to Wireless Controller > Conguration
> Access Point. A successfully discovered unit displays a half-lled circle
symbol.
6. Select the Access Point and click Edit.
7. In the Admin eld, select Enable.
8. In the AP Prole eld, select a prole from the list and click OK.
The conguration is downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAP and
the Wireless LED lights up.
