Pre-authorizing a FortiAP unit
Users can now pre-authorize a FortiAP unit by before connecting the unit to the FortiGate unit. To pre-authorize a FortiAP unit, do the following:
1. Go to WiFi Controller > Managed Access Points > Managed FortiAPs and select Create New.
| On FortiGate models 100D, 200D, 240D, 600C, 800C, and 1000C, go to WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs |
2. Enter the serial number of the FortiAP unit.
3. Configure the Wireless Settings as required.
4. Select OK.
The new FortiAP now appear on the Managed FortiAPs list as authorized but off-line. The FortiAP unit can now connect to the FortiGate unit.
| If the FortiAP unit will be connecting directly to one of the FortiGate unit’s ports, the port will still need to have its Addressing mode set to Dedicate to FortiAP. |
