Place the unit on a stable surface. It requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance above and
on each side to allow for cooling.
Locate the FortiWiFi-60 in a prominent location within a room for maximum coverage,
rather than in a corner.
Be aware of the construction of your environment, concrete and metal walls can hamper
signal strength.
Keep the AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away from appliances such as micro-
wave ovens and cordless phones.
Connect the FortiWiFi unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks.
Before beginning to congure the FortiWiFi unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your conguration plan is dependent upon the operating mode that you select:
NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode.
NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, each FortiWiFi unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of
its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be
congured with an IP address
that is valid for that network.
You would typically use NAT/
Route mode when the FortiWiFi
unit is deployed as a gateway
between private and public net-
works. In its default NAT/Route
mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. Firewall
policies control communications
through the FortiWiFi unit. No
trafc can pass through the
FortiWiFi unit until you add re-
wall policies.
In NAT/Route mode, rewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT
mode, the FortiWiFi unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to
the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place.
Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiWiFi unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on
the same subnet. You only have to congure a management IP address so that you can make
conguration changes.
You would typically use the For-
tiWiFi unit in Transparent mode
on a private network behind
an existing rewall or behind a
router. In its default Transpar-
ent mode conguration, the unit
functions as a rewall. No trafc
can pass through the FortiWiFi
unit until you add rewall poli-
cies.
You can connect up to four net-
work segments to the FortiWiFi
unit to control trafc between
these network segments.
Refer to the Documentation CD-ROM for information on how to control trafc, and how to congure HA, antivirus protection, FortiGuard, Web content ltering, Spam ltering,
intrusion prevention (IPS), and virtual private networking (VPN).

Quick conguration using the default settings
You can quickly set up your FortiWiFi unit for a home or small ofce using the web-based
manager and the default settings in NAT/Route mode.
All you need to do is set your network computers to use DHCP, access the web-based
manager, and congure the required settings for the WAN1 interface. You can also congure
DNS and a default route if needed. The FortiWiFi unit automatically assigns IP addresses to
up to 100 computers in the internal network.
Connect the FortiWiFi unit to the network.
Set the all the network computers to use DHCP to automatically obtain an IP address.
The FortiGate internal interface acts as a DHCP server for the internal network and assigns
IP addresses to all computers in the range 192.168.1.110 –192.168.1.210.
From the management computer browse to https://192.168.1.99. The FortiGate web-
based manager appears.
Go to System > Network > Interface and select Edit for the WAN1 interface.

es given to you by the ISP, select Apply
Go to Router > Static, select Create New, enter the default gateway address and select
OK. Network conguration is complete. Proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.
Select Retrieve default gateway from server and Override internal DNS options if your
ISP supports them, select OK, and proceed to part 7 of this Quick Start Guide.
