FortiAPSetup
Deployment through a FortiGate
Ensure that you are running the Fortinet recommended version of
software. Please check support.fortinet.com for more information.
If FortiGate is on the same network as the FortiAP:
1. Use FortiGate to preauthorize the FortiAP device.
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 the FortiGate, the device
appears on the Managed FortiAP page in the Web-based Manager:
authorize and assign a profile to the device.
