Connecting Your FortiAP Unit
Page 4
The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most
networks. Zero Configuration mode works if the unit is directly
connected to the FortiGate or FortiWiFi performing the Wireless LAN
Controller (WLC) functions, or on the same layer-2 network and subnet
as the FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit.
If the FortiAP wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined
using Zero Configuration mode, or if the network uses static IP
addresses, it can be configured to use a static IP address.
To enable the FortiAP using Zero Configuration:
1. After connecting the FortiAP unit as described in the previous chapter,
the unit goes through its boot procedure and requests an IP address
from the DHCP server.
2. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters discovery
mode to locate a FortiGate or FortiWiFi wireless controller. The
discovery modes are:
• Broadcast
• Multicast
• DHCP option 138
3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller.
In the FortiGate Web-based Manager, go to WiFi Controller > Managed
Access Points > Managed FortiAP. A successfully discovered unit
displays an orange circle with a question mark.
4. Select the access point and click Edit.
5. In the State field, select Authorize.

6. In the AP Profile field, select Change, then select a profile from the
list and click OK.
The configuration is downloaded from the wireless controller to the
FortiAP and the WiFi LED lights up.
To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address:
1. Connect the FortiAP device to a separate, private switch or hub, or
directly connect it to your management computer via a cross-over
cable.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as
the internal interface of the FortiAP unit:
a. Browse to the Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter
Settings > Local Area Connection Properties > Internet Protocol
Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.3 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the unit’s Web-based Manager, start a browser of your
choice and browse to http://192.168.1.2.
4. Type admin in the Name field, leave the Password field blank, and
select Login.
5. In the Network Configuration section of the System Information tab:
a. Set Address Mode to Static,
b. Enter the FortiAP unit’s IP address in the Local IP Address field,
c. Enter 255.255.255.0 in the Local Network Mask field, and
d. Enter the gateway IP address in the Gateway IP field.
6. In the WTP Configuration section, set AC Discovery Type to Static
and enter the FortiGate wireless controller’s IP address in the AC IP
Address 1 field.
7. Apply the configuration by selecting Apply.
8. Move the FortiAP to the intended deployment location and connect
the Ethernet cable as described in the Connecting chapter.
9. Log in to the FortiGate controller Web-based Manager, and go to
WiFi Controller > Managed Access Points > Managed FortiAP.
A successfully discovered unit displays an orange circle with a
question mark in the Status column.
10. Select the access point and click Edit.
11. In the State field, select Authorize.
12. In the Edit FortiAP dialog box, select Enable Wireless Radio. Leave
the remaining settings at their default values. The configuration is
downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAP device.
