Connecting Your FortiAP Unit

Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the FortiAP unit to a wall or ceiling,
as described in the previous section.
Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit and the PoE injector, in
compliance with your local electrical code or regulations.
Caution: This device complies with IEEE 802.3af PoE specification. Do not use any
PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3af compliant as they may damage your device.
To connect the FortiAP unit:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port of the FortiAP unit.
2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into your FortiGate, FortiWifi, or
FortiSwitch unit.
If you are using PoE, ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected to an applicable
port on your FortiGate unit, FortiSwitch unit, or PoE injector.
3. If you are not using PoE, connect the DC plug of the optional power adapter
into the DC power jack on the FortiAP unit, and then insert the other end into an
appropriate power outlet.
Note: For FortiWifi units, the wireless controller feature is only supported on units
running FortiOS 4.0 MR3 and higher.
