If the FortiGate wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined from the
methods above or if the network uses static IP addresses, do the following:
1. Connect the FortiAP to a separate private switch or hub or directly connect
to your computer via a cross-over cable.
2. Change your computer’s IP address to 192.168.1.3
3. Telnet to IP address 192.168.1.2. This IP address is overwritten if the
FortiAP is connected to a DHCP environment. Ensure that FortiAP is in a
private network with no DHCP server for the static IP address to be accessible.
4. Login with username: admin and no password.
5. Type the following commands to enter static IP address for Access Point.
netmask & gateway information for your network. Replace zzz with the IP
address of the FortiGate Wireless Controller.
cfg –a AP_IPADDR=”xxx.xxx.xxx.xx”
cfg –a AP_NETMASK=”255.255.255.0”
cfg –a IPGW=”yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy”
cfg –a AC_IPADDR_1=”zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz”
6. Save the conguration by typing the following command:
cfg –c . Unplug the FortiAP and plug it back in order for the conguration to take effect.
7. Move the FortiAP to the intended deployment location and connect the
Ethernet cable as described in the Connecting section.
8. In FortiGate controller Web Cong, go to Wireless Controller > Congura-
tion > Access Point. A successfully discovered unit displays a half-lled
circle symbol.
9. Select the Access Point and click Edit.
10. In the Admin eld, select Enable.
11. In the AP Prole eld, select a prole from the list and click OK.
The conguration is downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAP and
the Wireless LED lights up.
Note: FortiGate Low encryption units must be matched up with Low Encryp tion
Access Points.

Connecting
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 specication. Do not use any
PoE injectors that are not 802.3af compliant as it may damage this device.
Conguring
The FortiAP is designed to require no conguration in most networks. Zero
Conguration 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 Conguration:
1. Connect the network and power cable as described in the Connecting section.
2. Once power is applied, the FortiAP goes through boot procedure and requests 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 Cong, go to Wireless Controller > Conguration
> 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 Prole eld, select a prole from the list and click OK.
The conguration is downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAP and
the Wireless LED lights up.
