1 Basic Connections LAN/PoE Internet Optional Power Connection 1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into the LAN 4/PoE PD port on the device. 2. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable into the PoE LAN port of your FortiGate appliance, or to a WAN port of your FortiGate through a power injector. Ensure that the FortiGate interface provides DHCP server service to issue an IP address to FortiExtender when connected to LAN Port 4 of FortiExtender. 3.
2 Assembly 1. Remove the dust cover that protects the SIM sockets. 2. Insert your MicroSIM (3FF) SIM card(s) into the SIM socket(s). 3. Observe the following guidelines: • If installing one SIM card, you can insert the card into either SIM socket. • If installing two SIM cards, use SIM1 as the primary socket and SIM2 as the secondary. 4. Insert the SIM card(s) into the SIM socket(s).
