FAP-U432F Antennas The FortiAP unit provides dual concurrent radio signals. Use the 2.4GHz antennas to access 2.4GHz radio (IEEE 802.11b/g/n) signals and the 5GHz antennas to access 5GHz radio (IEEE 802.11a/n/ac/ax) signals. To use both radio frequencies concurrently, use all 11 WiFi antennas. Follow this procedure to install the antennas. 1. Insert the antenna base firmly into the appropriate antenna mount. 2. Securely hand tighten the fastening collar 3.
Wall Mounting FAP-U432F Follow this procedure to attach the unit to a wall using the supplied equipment. 1. Mark the location of the mounting bolt holes on a flat wall surface, using the wall-mount base as a template. 2. Drill mounting holes in the marked locations and hammer the bolts into the openings. 3. Attach the wall-mount base to the back of the access point using the mounting screws.
4. Attach the access point onto the wall using the mounting bolts and secure the mounting base to the wall.
Pole Mounting FAP-U432F Follow this procedure to attach the unit to a pole by using the supplied pole mount bracket, straps, and screws. 1. Attach the wall-mount bracket, then attach the pole-mount bracket using the mounting screws.
3. 4. Loop the pole straps through the slots on the bracket, then around the pole. Tighten the straps with screws to attach the unit securely to the pole.
Installing Weatherproof Connectors The weatherproof connects are provided for the LAN ports to ensure a watertight seal for connecting the Ethernet cable to the device. 1. Unscrew the coupling ring from the waterproof connector, remove the sealing gland, and thread the RJ-45 plug through the connector components. 2. Insert the RJ-45 plug into the PoE port on the unit and install the weatherproof panel connector onto the threaded coupling at the port.
3. Slide the sealing gland along the cable into panel connector. 4. Thread the coupling ring onto the panel connector and tighten it until the sealing gland is compressed, making a watertight seal on the cable.

Connecting FortiAP Follow these steps to connect the FortiAP to your network. 1. Connect one end of the ethernet cable to the LAN1 PoE+ port on the FortiAP. Connect the other end to the PoE port on the PoE adapter. 2. Connect one end of the ethernet cable to the LAN port on the PoE adapter. Connect the other end to a switch. 3. Connect one end of the console cable to the RJ-45 console port on the FortiAP. Connect the other end to a management computer for CLI access.

Controller Discovery The FortiAP boots up with the default FortiWLC AP image and tries to discover the FortiWLC, FortiGate, and FortiCloud controllers simultaneously. The FortiAP connects to the controller that is first discovered. • If FortiWLC controller is discovered, the unit continues booting up with the default FortiWLC image. • If the FortiGate or the FortiCloud controller is discovered, the unit reboots with the FortiAP image.
FortiAP Cloud Deployment Follow these steps to complete the FortiAP Cloud discovery. 1. Visit http://www.fortiapcloud.com and sign in or create a new account. 2. Click Inventory > Import AP Key and enter the unique FortiAP Cloud key located on your FortiAP device, then click Submit. 3. Deploy the FortiAP to an existing AP network, or create a new AP network, then click Submit.
4. 5. Follow the prompts to associate the FortiAP device to an SSID. Connect your FortiAP to an Internet connection. This can be a modem or another source of Internet connectivity. Configure the discovered FortiAP.
FortiGate Deployment To complete the FortiGate controller discovery process, you need to authorize the FortiAP on the FortGate.
Zero Configuration The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most networks. Zero configuration mode works if the unit is on the same layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiWLC, or if the unit is on the same layer-3 network and subnet as the FortiGate or FortiCloud controller. If the FortiAP wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined using Zero Configuration mode, or if the network uses static IP addresses, it can be configured to use a static IP address.
The discovery modes for FortiGate controller are: • DHCP option 138 • DNS • Multicast • Broadcast • Static Controller IP address The discovery mode for FortiCloud controller is: • FortiCloud Protocol 3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the controller in the FortiWLC/FortiCloud/ FortiGate WebUI.
Manual IP Configuration and Controller Discovery To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address: 1. Connect the FortiAP device to a seperate private switch or hub. 2. Access the AP console through the serial port. 3. To configure FortiAP’s own IP address, type ip config net static address netmask gateway . 4. [FortiWLC only] To discover the controller, type ip config l2l3 . 5.
