About automatic AP profile settings

Chapter 6 Deploying Wireless Networks for FortiOS 5.0 : Configuring a WiFi LAN : Overview of WiFi controller configuration : About automatic AP profile settings

FortiOS simplifies wireless network configuration by providing an automatic setting for the access point profile. You can enable wireless AP operation and Rogue AP scanning with the radios in the AP automatically allocated as follows:

Table 42: Radio functions in automatic profile
No. of Radios	Wireless Access enabled	Rogue AP Scan enabled	Wireless Access and Rogue AP Scan enabled
1	Radio 1 - AP	Radio 1 - scan	Radio 1 - AP + background scan
2	Radio 1 - AP Radio 2 - disabled	Radio 1 - disabled Radio 2 - scan	Radio 1 - AP Radio 2 - scan

You can select which SSIDs (wireless networks) will be available through the access point and adjust the wireless power level of the AP. Also, you can configure the unit’s LAN ports, if you are using a FortiAP model that has them (see “LAN port options”).
