  • Page 9: Installing The Wifi Antennas

    Antennas The FortiAP unit provides dual concurrent radio signals. Use the 2.4GHz antennas to access 2.4GHz radio (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) signals and the 5GHz antennas to access 5GHz radio (IEEE 802.11a/n/ac) signals. To use both radio frequencies concurrently, use all eight WiFi antennas. Installing the WiFi Antennas Insert the antenna base firmly into the appropriate antenna mount.

  • Page 19: Controller Discovery

    The FortiAP boots up with the default FortiWLC AP image and tries to discover the FortiWLC, FortiGate, and FortiCloud Controller Discovery controllers simultaneously. The FortiAP connects to the controller that is first discovered. • If FortiWLC controller is discovered, the unit continues booting up with the default FortiWLC image.
  • Page 20 Follow these steps to complete the FortiCloud discovery. Visit http://www.forticloud.com and sign in or create a FortiCloud Deployment new account. Click Inventory > Import AP Key and enter the unique FortiCloud key located on your FortiAP device, then click Submit. Deploy the FortiAP to an existing AP network, or create a new AP network, then click Submit.

  • Page 23: Zero Configuration

    The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most networks. Zero configuration mode works if the unit is on the same Zero layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiWLC, or if the unit is on the same layer-3 network and subnet as the FortiGate or FortiCloud Configuration controller.
  • Page 24 To enable the FortiAP using Zero Configuration: 1. After connecting the FortiAP unit as described in the previous Zero chapter, the unit goes through its boot procedure and requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Configuration If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters discovery mode to locate a Controller.
