Hold for 5 seconds to
reset the FortiAP unit
to its factory defaults.
Using the provided template and two M3 screws, attach the unit to the
wall or ceiling using the two mounting holes at the bottom of the FortiAP
unit. If placing on desktop, attach the rubber feet to the unit.
Connect the following to the FortiAP unit:
1. Insert a network cable to Port 0.
• Use straight-through cable for most equipment
• Use cross-over cable if connecting to FortiGate units without
auto MDI detect
2. Insert the other end of the network cable into your LAN Ethernet
edge switch, or directly to the FortiGate Controller.
3. Connect the power adaptor to AC outlet.
4. Insert the power adaptor connector to the FortiAP unit.
Note: The FortiAP-220A does not support 802.3af POE therefore AC
power connection is mandatory. Use only the supplied power adaptor.
Substitution of power adaptor can damage the system and voids your
warranty.
Conguring
The FortiAP is designed to require no conguration in most networks.
Zero Conguration mode works if the FortiAP is directly connected to the
FortiGate performing the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) functions, or
on the same layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiGate.
To enable the FortiAP using Zero Conguration:
1. Connect the network and power cable as described in the Connect-
ing section.
2. Once power is applied, the FortiAP goes through boot procedure
and requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
3. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters dis-
covery mode to locate a FortiGate wireless controller. The discovery
modes are:
• Broadcast
• Multicast
• DHCP option 138
4. If this is the rst time connecting the FortiAP to the controller, only
the power light and Port 0 LED is lit. If the FortiAP has been pre-
provisioned in the controller, the Wireless LED is also lit.
5. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller.
In Web Cong, go to Wireless Controller > Physical AP > Managed
Physical AP. Look for the name or serial number of the newly con-
nected unit.
6. In the Mode eld, select Enable.
7. Select a FortiAP prole from the list and click OK.
8. The conguration is downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the For-
tiAP and the Wireless LED lights up.
