You can also use FortiExplorer to check for new firmware for a FortiGate
unit. To check for new firmware, select the FortiGate unit from the device
list and select Check for New Firmware. FortiExplorer will also monitor
firmware updates for your devices and provide an alert when one is
available.
4. Configuration Options
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.
