3. Connecting Your FortiAP Unit

The FortiAP unit can be powered using Power over Ethernet (PoE) or with the
optional AC power adapter. Please order either the Fortinet Gigabit PoE Injector
(SKU: GPI-115) or the 12V AC power adapter (SKU: SP-FAP221B-PA)

Caution: This device complies with IEEE 802.3af PoE specifi cation. Do not use
any PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3af compliant as they may damage your
device.

To connect the FortiAP unit:

1. Insert an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the FortiAP unit.

2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into your FortiGate or FortiWifi unit.

If you are using PoE, ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected to an
applicable port on your FortiGate unit, FortiSwitch unit, or PoE injector.

3. If you are not using PoE, connect a region-specifi c AC plug adapter to the

optional power adapter by inserting the round disk into the adapter and
rotating clockwise until you hear the disk lock in place. Then insert the DC
plug of the power adapter into the DC power jack on the FortiAP unit.

Note: For FortiWifi units, the wireless controller feature is only supported on units
running FortiOS 4.0 MR3 and higher.

Caution: This equipment is to be connected only to PoE networks without
routing to the outside plant.
