Weatherproof Connector
The unit requires 48V DC power, which is delivered by the PoE injector over a straight-
through Ethernet cable.
To install the weatherproof connector
1. Unscrew the coupling ring from the waterproof connector, remove the sealing gland,
and thread the RJ-45 plug through the connector components:
2. Insert the RJ-45 plug into the PoE port on the unit and install the weatherproof panel
connector onto the threaded coupling at the port.
3. Slide the sealing gland along the cable into the panel connector.
4. Thread the coupling ring into the panel connector and tighten it until the sealing gland
is compressed, making a watertight seal on the cable.

If the FortiGate is on the same network as the FortiAP:
1. Preauthorize your FortiAP device using your FortiGate.
2. Refer to the “Access Point Deployment” section of the FortiWiFi and FortiAP
Configuration Guide found at http://forti.net/ap-docs.
3. Plug the FortiAP into your local Ethernet connection. The FortiAP will self-configure.
Or
1. Instead of preauthorizing, you can use the FortiGate to authorize the FortiAP device
after you have connected the FortiAP to the network.
2. Within two minutes of connecting the FortiAP to your FortiGate, the device appears
on the Managed FortiAP page in the Web-based Manager: authorize and assign a
profile to the device.
Ensure that you are running the Fortinet recommended version of software.
Please check support.fortinet.com for more information.

If the FortiGate is not on the same network as the FortiAP:
1. Log in to the FortiAP directly (IP address: 192.168.1.2) with username admin and
no password, and specify the IP address of the controlling FortiGate.
2. Connect to the FortiAP via the CLI using the instructions in the “Connecting to FortiAP
CLI” section of the FortiWiFi and FortiAP Configuration Guide.
3. Specify the IP address of the controlling FortiGate:
cfg -a AC_IPADDR_1=0.0.0.0
cfg -c
where 0.0.0.0 is the address of the FortiGate.
4. The FortiAP device connects to the FortiGate, and then you can authorize the FortiAP.
