Connect the FortiWiFi unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
Before beginning to congure the FortiWiFi unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your conguration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route
mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiWiFi unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of
its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be
congured with an IP address that is valid for that network.
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiWiFi unit is deployed as a gateway
between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiWiFi unit.
No trafc can pass through the FortiWiFi unit until you add rewall policies. In NAT/Route
mode, rewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT mode, the Forti-
WiFi unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to the destination
network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiWiFi unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to congure a management IP address so that you can make
conguration changes.
You would typically use the FortiWiFi unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind
an existing rewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. No trafc can pass through the FortiWiFi unit until you add rewall poli-
cies.
You can connect up to six network segments to the FortiWiFi unit to control trafc between
these network segments.
Refer to the Tools and Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control trafc, congure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content ltering, Spam ltering,
intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

Quick conguration using the default settings
You can quickly set up your FortiWiFi unit for a home or small ofce using the web-based
manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.
All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based
manager, and congure the required settings for the external interface. You can also
congure DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiWiFi unit automatically assigns IP
addresses for up to 100 computers in the internal network.
Connect the FortiWiFi unit to the network.
Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.
The FortiWiFi internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns
IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.
From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate
web-based manager appears.
Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the External interface.
