Your FortiWiFi unit is now configured and connected to the network. To verify the
FortiWiFi unit is connected and configured correctly, use your web browser to
browse a web site, or use your email client to send and receive email.
If you cannot browse to the web site or retrieve/send email from your account,
review the previous steps to ensure all information was entered correctly and try
again.
Remember, to verify the firewall policies. The firewall policies control the flow of
information through the FortiWiFi unit. If they are not set up correctly, or are too
restrictive, it can prohibit network traffic.
Once you have determined your FortiWiFi is configured and working correctly, it is
extremely important that you back up your configuration. By backing up the
configuration, you ensure that if you need to reset the FortiWiFi unit for whatever
reason, you will be able to quickly return it to operation with minimal effort.
To back up the FortiWiFi configuration
Go to System > Maintenance > Backup & Restore.
Select to back up to your PC or to a USB key.
The USB Disk option will be grayed out if the FortiWiFi unit supports USB disks
but none are connected.
Select Encrypt the backup file.
Encryption must be enabled on the backup file to backup VPN certificates.
Enter a password and enter it again to confirm it. You will need this password to
restore the file.
Select Backup.
The web browser will prompt you for a location to save the configuration file. The
configuration file will have a .conf extension.
It is a good practice to backup the FortiWiFi configuration after any modification to
any of the FortiWiFi settings. Alternatively, before performing an upgrade to the
firmware, ensure you backup the configuration before upgrading. Should anything
happen during the upgrade that changes the configuration, you can easily restore
the saved configuration.
