Connecting
Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the FortiAP unit to the
wall.
Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit in
compliance with the local electrical code.
This device complies with the IEEE 802.af and 802.3at PoE specications.
Both PoE specications support 1x1 MIMO and a default TX power of
20dBm for both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands.
Caution: Do not use any PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3af or
802.3at compliant, as they may damage your device.
To connect the FortiAP unit:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable into the WAN port of the FortiAP unit.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into your switch.
3. If you are not using PoE, connect the DC plug of the optional power

Controller Discovery The FortiAP boots up with the default FortiWLC AP image
and tries to discover the FortiWLC, FortiGate, and FortiCloud
controllers simultaneously.
The FortiAP connects to the controller that is rst
discovered.
• If FortiWLC controller is discovered, the unit continues booting up with the default FortiWLC
image.
• If the FortiGate or the FortiCloud controller is discovered, the unit reboots with the FortiAP
image.
For the FortiAP to discover the FortiCloud controller, you need to add the unique FortiCloud key
labelled on the device to the FortiCloud. See section FortiCloud Deployment .
For the FortiAP to complete the FortiGate discovery, you need to authorize the FortiAP on the
FortiGate. See section FortiGate Deployment .
To bring the FortiAP back to factory default setting, insert a pin into the reset point on the power
adapter and hold on for 10 seconds. Release the pin.
On the FortiAP image, run the reload default factory command to reset the FortiAP to factory default.
