Note: You cannot add additional wireless interfaces when the FortiWiFi unit is in Client
mode or Monitoring mode.
Name Enter a name for the wireless interface. The name cannot be the same
as an existing interface, zone or VDOM.
Type Select Wireless.
Address Mode The wireless interface can only be set as a manual address. Enter a
valid IP address and netmask.
If the FortiWiFi is running in Transparent mode, this field does not
appear. The interface will be on the same subnet as the other interfaces.
Administrative
Access
Set the administrative access for the interface.
SSID Enter the wireless service set identifier (SSID) or network name for this
wireless interface. Users who want to use the wireless network must configure
their computers with this network name.
SSID Broadcast Select to broadcast the SSID. Broadcasting the SSID enables clients to
connect to your wireless network without first knowing the SSID. For better
security, do not broadcast the SSID. If the interface is not broadcast, there is
less chance of an unwanted user connecting to your wireless network. If you
choose not to broadcast the SSID, you need to inform users of the SSID so
they can configure their wireless devices.
