The FortiGate unit requires some basic configuration to add it to your
network. These basic steps include assigning IP addresses, DNS
settings, and the default gateway. Until these steps are completed traffic
will not flow through the device.
You can complete these basic steps using FortiExplorer's built-in Setup
Wizard. The wizard also allows you to change your administrator
password, set your time zone, and adjust security settings.
Note: If you are unsure of your network settings, contact your network
administrator or internet service provider.
