Configuring the Modem interface
Next steps
FortiGate-60M Installation Guide
In NAT/Route mode, you use the modem interface as either a redundant interface or
standalone interface to the Internet.
•
In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from a selected
ethernet interface when that ethernet interface is unavailable.
•
In standalone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate unit
to the Internet.
When connecting to the ISP, in either configuration, the FortiGate unit modem can
automatically dial up to three dialup accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
The modem interface connects to the FortiGate USB interface. You must connect an
external modem to the USB interface.
The modem interface connects to the internal FortiGate modem. You must use the
modem connection to connect the FortiGate unit to a phone line. For details on
configuring the internal modem, see
You can use the following information to configure FortiGate system time, to register
the FortiGate unit, and to configure antivirus and attack definition updates.
Refer to the FortiGate Administration Guide for complete information on configuring,
monitoring, and maintaining the FortiGate unit.
To set the date and time
For effective scheduling and logging, the FortiGate system date and time must be

FortiGate unit to automatically keep its time correct by synchronizing with a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server.

Select Apply.
To use NTP to set the FortiGate date and time
1
Go to System > Config > Time.
2
Select Synchronize with NTP Server to configure the FortiGate unit to use NTP to
automatically set the system time and date.
3
Enter the IP address or domain name of the NTP server that the FortiGate unit can
use to set its time and date.
