Use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through
Ethernet cables to connect the devices through a hub or switch.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal
interface of the FortiWiFi unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management
computer to 192.168.1.2 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiWiFi web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to
https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the "s" in https://).
