Connecting to the FortiWiFi unit Installing the FortiWiFi unit
Connecting to the web-based manager
Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the first
time. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective
immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the web-based manager, you require:
• a computer with an Ethernet connection
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of most
popular web browser
• a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub with two Ethernet cables
Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web
browser), ping to your FortiWiFi unit to see if the connection between the computer and the
FortiWiFi unit is working properly.
To connect to the web-based manager
1 Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP
address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address
automatically using the DHCP. The FortiWiFi DHCP server assigns the
management computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
2 Using the crossover cable or the Ethernet hub and cables, connect the internal
interface of the FortiWiFi unit to the computer Ethernet connection.
3 Start Internet Explorer and browse to the address https://192.168.1.99.
(remember to include the “s” in https://).
To support a secure HTTPS authentication method, the FortiWiFi unit ships with a
self-signed security certificate, and is offered to remote clients whenever they
initiate a HTTPS connection to the FortiWiFi unit. When you connect, the FortiWiFi
unit displays two security warnings in the browser.
The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiWiFi unit’s
self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiWiFi
unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiWiFi login page
appears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to the
FortiWiFi unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is
not displayed again.
Just before the FortiWiFi login page appears, a second warning informs you that
the FortiWiFi certificate distinguished name differs from the original request. This
warning occurs because the FortiWiFi unit redirects the connection. This is an

After logging into the web-based manager, the web browser displays the system
dashboard. The dashboard provides you with all system status information in one
location. For details on the information displayed on the dashboard, see the
FortiGate Administration Guide.
Command line interface
You can access the FortiWiFi command line interface (CLI) by connecting a
management computer serial port to the FortiWiFi serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiWiFi unit, including the Internet.
The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the
web-based manager. In addition, you can use the CLI for advanced configuration
options that are not available from the web-based manager. This guide contains
information about basic and advanced CLI commands. For a more complete
description about connecting to and using the FortiWiFi CLI, see the FortiGate CLI
Reference.
Connecting to the CLI
As an alternative to the web-based manager, you can install and configure the
FortiWiFi unit using the CLI. Configuration changes made with the CLI are
effective immediately without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the FortiWiFi CLI you require:
• a computer with an available communications port
• the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial cable included in your FortiWiFi package
• terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal for Microsoft Windows
Note: The following procedure uses Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal software. You can
apply these steps to any terminal emulation program.

Quick installation using factory defaults
You can quickly set up your FortiWiFi unit for a home or small office using the
web-based manager and the factory default FortiWiFi configuration. All you need
to do is set your network computers to obtain an IP address automatically and to
obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically (using DHCP), access the
web-based manager, and configure the required settings for the FortiWiFi WAN1
interface. You can also configure FortiWiFi DNS servers and add a FortiWiFi
default route if needed.
The FortiWiFi internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network,
automatically assigning IP addresses to computers (up to 100 computers) in the
range of 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.

The FortiWiFi DHCP server also assigns the DNS server IP address 192.168.1.99
to each computer on the internal network. As a result, the FortiWiFi unit internal
interface acts as a DNS server for the internal network. Using DNS forwarding, the
FortiWiFi unit forwards DNS requests received from the internal network to the
DNS server IP addresses added to the FortiWiFi unit configuration and returns
lookup results to the internal network.

Factory defaults
Factory defaults
The FortiWiFi unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiWiFi web-based manager
to configure the FortiWiFi unit onto the network. To configure the FortiWiFi unit
onto the network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP
addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and, if required, configure basic
routing.
If you plan to operate the FortiWiFi unit in Transparent mode, you can switch to
Transparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure the
FortiWiFi unit onto the network in Transparent mode.
Once you complete the network configuration, you can perform additional
configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack
definition updates, and registering the FortiWiFi unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network address
translation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect to
the external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to
the internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of
the network traffic passing through the FortiWiFi unit.
The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network
traffic that is controlled by firewall policies.
This section includes the following topics:
• Factory default DHCP server configuration
• Factory default NAT/Route mode network configuration
• Factory default Transparent mode network configuration
• Factory default firewall configuration
• Restoring the default settings

Factory default firewall configuration
FortiWiFi firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiWiFi unit.
Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through the
FortiWiFi unit. The factory default configuration contains one firewall policy that
allows all traffic originating on the internal network to access the Internet. No other
traffic is allowed through the FortiWiFi unit. To allow traffic through the FortiWiFi
unit, you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for
information about adding firewall policies.
The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall
configuration to make it easier to add firewall policies.
