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
FortiWLC. The discovery modes are:
• Broadcast
• DHCP option 43
• Mesh
3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller.in the System Directory
WebUI.
Configuring To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address:
1. Connect the FortiAP device to a seperate private switch or hub.
2. Log into AP console.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION
AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work,
and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim
or with modications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute
a work based on the Program (independent of having been
made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium,
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with
the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:
a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the les and the date of
any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or
any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modied program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the
Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not
required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole.
If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections
as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In
addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based
on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and
only if you received the program in object code or executable
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the
work for making modications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code
for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation
and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
on) of the operating system on which the executable runs,
unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If
distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same
place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with
the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or
distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission
to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works.
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept
this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate
your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program
or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not
impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether
by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of
the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section
is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system, which is implemented by public license practices.
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not
thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/
or new versions of the General Public License from time to
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version
number. If the Program species a version number of this
License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have
the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other
free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving
the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF
CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM,
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE
THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE
LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/
OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION
AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or
other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also
called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or
data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application
programs (which use some of those functions and data) to
form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library
or work which has been distributed under these terms. A
“work based on the Library” means either the Library or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modications and/or translated straightforwardly into
another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without
limitation in the term “modication”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the
work for making modications to it. For a library, complete
source code means all the source code for all modules it
contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus
the scripts used to control compilation and installation of
the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The
act of running a program using the Library is not restricted,
and output from such a program is covered only if its contents
constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the
use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true
depends on what the Library does and what the program that
uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer
to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and
distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You
may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and
copy and distribute such modications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:
a) The modied work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the les modied to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the les and the date of
any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modied Library refers to a function or a
table of data to be supplied by an application program that
uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort
to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply
such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole.
If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections
as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights
or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition,
mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU
General Public License instead of this License to a given copy
of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that
refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU
General Public License, version 2 instead of to this License. (If
a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General
Public License has appeared, then you can specify that
version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change
in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies
to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that
copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the
code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable
form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that
you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access
to copy the source code from the same place satises the
requirement to distribute the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of
the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being
compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the
Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work
of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this
License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the
Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library
(because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a
“work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore
covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution
of such executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a
header le that is part of the Library, the object code for the
work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the
source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially signicant if the work can be
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
threshold for this to be true is not precisely dened by law.
If such an object le uses only numerical parameters, data
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small
inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the
object le is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a
derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus
portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise,
if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the
object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any
executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also
combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library
to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and
distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that
the terms permit modication of the work for your own use
and reverse engineering for debugging such modications.
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work
that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use
are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this
License. If the work during execution displays copyright
notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library
among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code for the Library including
whatever changes were used in the work (which must be
distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work
is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete
machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code
and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library
and then relink to produce a modied executable containing
the modied Library. (It is understood that the user who
changes the contents of denitions les in the Library will not
necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the
modied denitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with
the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at
run time a copy of the library already present on the user’s
computer system, rather than copying library functions into
the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modied
version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the
modied version is interface-compatible with the version that
the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least
three years, to give the same user the materials specied in
Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of
performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy
the above specied materials from the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses
the Library” must include any data and utility programs
needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as
a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or
binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs,
unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction
means you cannot use both them and the Library together in
an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based
on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with
other library facilities not covered by this License, and
distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate
distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other
library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you
do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same
work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
where to nd the accompanying uncombined form of the
same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically
terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work
based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based
on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify
the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise
of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for
enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited
to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether
by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of
the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section
is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system which is implemented by public license practices.
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what
is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Library under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not
thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/
or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to
the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing
version number. If the Library species a version number of
this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either
of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license
version number, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other
free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible
with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
15. The warranty disclaimer contained in Sections 11 and 12
of the preceding GPL License is incorporated herein..
