This sample office has washrooms, a stairwell and an elevator shaft in the center
of the building, making it impossible to use a single FortiWiFi AP effectively. The
elevator shaft and multiple metal stalls in the washrooms can cause signal
degradation. However, placing a FortiWiFi AP in opposite corners of the office
provides maximum coverage.
When using multiple APs, each FortiWiFi AP should be set to a different channel
to avoid interference in areas where signals from both FortiWiFi units can be
received.
Use the following steps to connect the power supply to the FortiGate unit.
To power on the FortiGate unit
Connect the AC adapter to the power connection at the back of the FortiGate unit.
Connect the AC adapter to the power cable.
Connect the power cable to a power outlet.
The FortiGate unit starts and the Power and Status LEDs light up. The Status
LEDs flash while the FortiGate unit starts up, and remain lit when the system is
running.
Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect one end of the cable to your router or
modem, whatever the connection is to the Internet. Connect the other end to the
FortiWiFi unit. Connect to either the External, WAN port, or port 1. Connect
additional cable to the Internal port or port 2 and your internal hub or switch.
Always shut down the FortiWiFi operating system properly before turning off the
power switch to avoid potential hardware problems.
To power off the FortiWiFi unit
From the web-based manager, go to System > Status.
In the Unit Operation display, select Shutdown, or from the CLI enter:
execute shutdown
Disconnect the power cables from the power supply.
