2. Refer to the “Access Point Deployment” section of
the FortiWiFiand FortiAP Configuration Guide
found at http://forti.net/ap-docs.

have connected the FortiAP to the network.
2. Within two minutes of connecting the FortiAP to
the FortiGate, the device appears on the Managed
FortiAP page in the Web-based Manager: authorize
and assign a profile to the device.

If FortiGate is not on the same network as the
FortiAP:
1. Log into 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 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:
config capwap wtp acIpAddr 0.0.0.0
where 0.0.0.0 is the address of the FortiGate.
4. The FortiAP device connects to FortiGate, and then
you can authorize the FortiAP.
