Hardware Installation
Using the provided hardware, the FortiAPCam unit can be attached to a
ceiling.
To connect
1. Fasten a single screw to the desired location on a ceiling and position
the unit so that the screw fits securely into the slot located in the
centre of the flat bottom of the unit.
2. Secure unit to the ceiling by inserting screws through the three tabs
located along the edge of the unit.
3. Attach the dome over the unit and secure it in place using the two
screws located on either side of the dome.
To reboot
• Press and hold the Reset button for less than 5 seconds to reboot
both the camera and AP part of the system.
To reset to factory default settings
• Press and hold the Reset button for more than 5 seconds to reset
both the camera and AP part of the system to factory default.

Connecting your Unit
Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the FortiAPCam unit to a
ceiling, as described in the previous section.
Adequate grounding must be provided to the unit and the PoE injector, in
compliance with your local electrical code or regulations.
Caution: This device complies with IEEE 802.3af PoE specification. Do
not use any PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3af compliant as they may
damage your device.
To connect the FortiAPCam unit
1. Connect the unit to a PoE switch.
2. Connect your FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit to the switch to use the
access point function.
3. Connect your FortiRecorder to the switch to use the video
surveillance function.
Note: For FortiWiFi units, the wireless controller feature is only supported
on units running FortiOS 4.0 MR3 and higher.
Caution: This equipment is to be connected only to PoE networks without
routing to the outside plant.

Configuring your Unit
For the camera part of the unit, configuration is done through the
connected FortiRecorder NVR. For details, see the FortiRecorder
Administration Guide at http://docs.fortinet.com.
For the access point part, no configuration is required if the unit is directly
connected to the FortiGate or FortiWiFi performing the Wireless LAN
Controller (WLC) functions, or on the same layer-2 network and subnet as
the FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit.
If the FortiAPCam wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined
using Zero Configuration mode, or if the network uses static IP addresses,
it can be configured to use a static IP address.
To enable the FortiAPCam using Zero Configuration
1. After connecting the FortiAPCam unit, the unit goes through its boot
procedure and requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
2. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAPCam enters
discovery mode to locate a FortiGate or FortiWiFi wireless controller.
The discovery modes are:
• Broadcast
• Multicast
• DHCP option 138
3. Verify that the FortiAPCam has successfully connected to the
controller.

In the FortiGate Web-based Manager, go to WiFi & Switch Controller
> Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs. A successfully discovered
unit displays an orange circle with a question mark.
4. Select the access point and click the Authorize button.
The configuration is downloaded from the wireless controller to the
FortiAP and the WiFi LED lights up.
To enable the FortiAPCam with a static IP address
1. Connect the FortiAPCam device to a separate private switch or hub,
or directly connect it to your management computer via a cross-over
cable.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as
the internal interface of the FortiAPCam unit, which default IP address
is 192.168.1.2.
a. For example, in Windows 7, browse to the Network and
Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Local Area
Connection Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.3 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. Use a Telnet apllication to connect to IP address 192.168.1.2.
4. Type admin in the Name field, leave the Password field blank, and
press Enter.

5. Configure a static IP address for the FortiAPCam unit and netmask &
gateway information for your network, using the following commands:
cfg -a ADDR_MODE=STATIC
cfg –a AP_IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
cfg –a AP_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
cfg –a IPGW=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
cfg –a AC_IPADDR_1=zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
where xxx is the IP address of the FortiAPCam unit, yyy is the
Gateway IP address and zzz is the IP address of the FortiGate
Wireless Controller.
6. Save the configuration by typing the following command:
cfg –c
7. Unplug the FortiAPCam unit and plug it back in order for the
configuration to take effect.
8. Move the FortiAPCam to the intended deployment location and
connect the Ethernet cable.
9. Log in to the FortiGate controller Web-based Manager, and go to
WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs. A
successfully discovered unit displays an orange circle with a question
mark in the Status column.
10. Select the access point and click the Authorize button .
11. In the Edit FortiAP dialog box, select Enable Wireless Radio. Leave
the remaining settings at their default values. The configuration is
downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAPCam device.
