Fortinet’s FortiAP wireless thin access points deliver secure, identity-driven

WiFi client access that creates a fortiﬁed WLAN network that is centrally

managed by a FortiGate or FortiWiFi platform. The FortiAP 320B has

built-in PoE to support excellent long-range network installation.

Your box contains the following:

Using the provided hardware, the FortiAP unit can be attached to a ceiling

or wall.

To attach the unit to a wall using the wall mounting hardware kit:

1. Insert the anchors provided in the wall mounting hardware kit into an

appropriate location on a wall.

2. Insert the screws provided in the wall mounting hardware kit into the

anchors.

3. Mount the FortiAP unit onto the screws.

To attach the unit to a ceiling using the T-rail mounting hardware kit:

1. Attach the T-rail connector to the bottom cover of the FortiAP unit using

the four provided short screws.

If extra space is required to accommodate drop ceiling tiles, use the taller

T-rail connector.

2. Line up the connected T-rail connector with an appropriately sized rail

and twist the unit onto the rail until it snaps into place.

Note: To protect your FortiAP unit, use the Kensington security slot to

attach a cable lock (cable lock is not included).

Page 3

Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the FortiAP unit to a wall or

ceiling, as described in the previous chapter.

Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit and the PoE

injector, in compliance with the local electrical code.

Caution: This device complies with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE

speciﬁcation. 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 LAN 1 or LAN 2 port of the FortiAP unit.

2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into your FortiGate or FortiWiﬁ

unit, or into the AP/Bridge port on your PoE adapter.

3. If you are not using PoE, connect a region-speciﬁc AC plug adapter to the

optional power adapter by inserting the round disk into the adapter and

rotating clockwise until you hear the disk lock in place. Then insert the DC

plug of the power adapter into the DC power jack on the FortiAP unit. The

Power LED will light up.

Redundant PoE Interfaces

The FortiAP 320B has dual, redundant PoE Ethernet Interfaces, allowing

uptime to be maintained even if one PoE injector or Ethernet link is

disconnected.

Connecting the LAN 1 port to a PoE injector and the LAN 2 port to a

second PoE injector will allow the device to remain operational as long as

one of the two injectors in still working.

Conﬁguring Your FortiAP Unit

The FortiAP unit is designed to require no conﬁguration in most networks. Zero

Conﬁguration mode works 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 FortiAP 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 FortiAP using Zero Conﬁguration:

1. After connecting the FortiAP unit as described in the previous chapter, 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 FortiAP enters discovery mode to

locate a FortiGate or FortiWiﬁ wireless controller. The discovery modes are:

• Broadcast

• Multicast

• DHCP option 138

3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller.

In the FortiGate Web-based Manager, go to WiFi Controller > Managed Access

Points > Managed FortiAP. A successfully discovered unit displays an orange

circle with a question mark.

4. Select the access point and click Edit.

5. In the State ﬁeld, select Authorize.

6. In the AP Proﬁle ﬁeld, select Change, then select a proﬁle from the list and click

OK.

The conﬁguration is downloaded from the wireless controller to the FortiAP and

the WiFi LED lights up.

To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address:

1. Connect the FortiAP 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 FortiAP unit:

a. 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. Telnet 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 FortiAP 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 FortiAP 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 FortiAP unit and plug it back in order for the conﬁguration to take

effect.

8. Move the FortiAP to the intended deployment location and connect the Ethernet

cable as described in the Connecting chapter.

9. Log in to the FortiGate controller Web-based Manager, and go to WiFi Controller

> Managed Access Points > Managed FortiAP. A successfully discovered unit

displays an orange circle with a question mark in the Status column.

10.Select the access point and click Edit.

11.In the State ﬁeld, select Authorize.

12.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 FortiAP device.
