The purpose of the Wireless Starter Kit is to provide a very cost effective and simplified
way to showcase the capability of FortiAP wireless access points. This document
introduces the FortiAP unit and the FortiOS wireless controller feature as demonstrated in
the Starter Kit.
FortiOS is the operating system of FortiGate and FortiWiFi units.
A FortiAP unit, of which there are several models, is a compact wireless access point
device. Indoor units can be wall-mounted or ceiling mounted. An optional ceiling tile rail
mount is available. It is also acceptable to place the unit on a desktop or shelf. There is
also an outdoor model available.
The FortiAP unit contains the radio equipment required for a wireless access point. It must
be controlled by a FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit.
