SETUP

Device Setup

Set up your device locally or on the cloud. Choose one of the following options to complete your setup and configure your device.

FortiAP Cloud

FortiAPCloud is a cloud-based FortiAP management solution and log retention service. It provides centralized reporting, traffic analysis, configuration management, and log retention.

To set up via FortiAP Cloud:

  1. Log in to http://www.fortiapcloud.com using your FortiCloud credentials.
  2. Click Inventory, then click Import AP Key.
  3. Input the Cloud Key located on the sticker on your device.

Info: Refer to the “Access Point Configuration” section of the FortiWiFi and FortiAP Configuration Guide found at https://docs.fortinet.com/product/fortiap

FortiGate Deployment

Your FortiAP can be preauthorized and configured using a FortiGate. You can also authorize your FortiAP after you have connected it to the same network.

If the FortiGate is on the same network as the FortiAP:

  1. Preauthorize your FortiAP device using your FortiGate.
  2. Plug the FortiAP into your local Ethernet connection.
  3. The FortiAP will self-configure.

Alternatively:

  1. Authorize the FortiAP device after connecting it to the network.
  2. Within two minutes of connecting the FortiAP to your FortiGate, the device will appear on the Managed FortiAP page in the GUI to authorize and assign a profile.

If 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.
  2. Specify the IP address of the controlling FortiGate using the commands:
    cfg -a AC_IPADDR_1=0.0.0.0
    cfg -c
    (Replace 0.0.0.0 with the FortiGate's IP address).
  3. The FortiAP device connects to the FortiGate, and then you can authorize the FortiAP.
