About FAP-U231F
IMPORTANT: Supported only from FortiWLC 8.6.1 and FortiGate with FOS version 6.4.3 and later.

The FortiAP-U231F access points are 802.11ax, 2x2 MIMO, tri-radio, dual band indoor
access points and are compliant with the IEEE 802.3at PoE specifications.

The FAP-U231F is compatible with FortiWLC enterprise wireless LAN controllers, integrated FortiGate
enterprise firewall LAN controllers, and FortiAPCloud management platform.

This device can be wall mounted or ceiling mounted. Use the supplied hardware components to complete
installing the unit.

2
Installing FAP-U231F
Follow this procedure to attach the unit to a wall or ceiling using the supplied mounting bracket.

1. Slide and attach the ceiling mount bracket to the bottom cover of the FortiAP unit.
If extra space is required to accommodate drop ceiling tiles, use the taller ceiling mount bracket.
2. Select an appropriate location, hold the device against the ceiling t-rail, and push the FortiAP unit onto
the ceiling until it snaps into place.

The unit can be removed from the bracket by pressing on the bracket tab and sliding the device out.

Notes:
• One standard ceiling mount bracket is included in sizes: 1.43cm (9/16in) and 2.38cm (15/16in).
• Mounting above the ceiling: FAP-U231F is UL2043 plenum rating certified. However, mounting
it above the ceiling is restricted to the FortiAP either facing up or facing down; mounting FAP-
U231F vertically is not allowed.
• To protect your device from unauthorized removal, use the Kensington™ Security Slot to attach a cable
lock (not included).

 Adequate grounding must be provided to the FortiAP unit in
compliance with the local electrical code.
Connecting
Caution: Do not use any PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3at
compliant, as they may damage your device.

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the LAN1 port of the
FortiAP unit.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into your 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.
4. If you are not using PoE, connect the DC plug of the optional power
adapter into the DC power jack on the FortiAP unit, and then insert
the other end into an appropriate power outlet.

The power LED will light up.

 FAP-U231F is compatible with FortiWLC enterprise wireless
Supported LAN controllers, integrated FortiGate enterprise firewall LAN
controllers, and FortiAPCloud management platform.
Controller Types
• If FortiWLC controller is discovered, the unit continues booting up with the default FortiWLC
image.
• If the FortiGate controller or the FortiAPCloud management platform is discovered, the unit
reboots with the FortiAP image.

For the FortiAP to discover the FortiAPCloud management platform, you need to add the unique
FortiAPCloud key labelled on the device to the FortiAPCloud. See section FortiAPCloud Deployment.

For the FortiAP to complete the FortiGate discovery, you need to authorize the FortiAP on the
FortiGate. See section FortiGate Deployment.
To bring the FortiAP back to factory default setting, insert a pin into the reset point on the FortiAP unit
and hold on for 10 seconds. Release the pin.
On the FortiAP image, run the reload default factory command to reset the FortiAP to factory default.

10
 Follow these steps to complete the FortiAPCloud discovery.
FortiAPCloud 1. Visit https://login.fortiapcloud.com and sign in or
Deployment create a new account.

2. Click Inventory > Import AP Key and enter the unique FortiAPCloud key, then click Submit.
Note: The FortiAPCloud key is located on the back of your FortiAP unit.

3. Deploy the FortiAP to an existing AP network, or create a new AP network, then click Submit.

11
4. Follow the prompts to associate the FortiAP device to an SSID.
5. Connect your FortiAP to an Internet connection. This can be a modem or another source of
Internet connectivity.

Configure the discovered FortiAP.

12
 To complete the FortiGate controller discovery process, you
need to authorize the FortiAP on FortiGate.
FortiGate Deployment 192.168.1.2 is the default FortiAP IP address when it boots
up with the FortiAP image managed by FortiGate.

13
 The FortiAP unit is designed to require no configuration in most
networks. Zero configuration mode works if the unit is on the same
Zero layer-2 network and subnet as the FortiWLC, or if the unit is on the
same layer-3 network and subnet as the FortiGate controller or
Configuration FortiAPCloud management platform.

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.
To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address:

14
 To enable the FortiAP using Zero Configuration:
1. After connecting the FortiAP unit as described in the previous
Zero chapter, the unit goes through its boot procedure and requests
an IP address from the DHCP server.
Configuration 2. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAP enters
discovery mode to locate a Controller.
The discovery modes for the FortWLC controller are:
• DHCP option 43
• DHCP option 138
• DNS
• Static Controller IP address
The discovery modes for FortiGate controller are:
• DHCP option 138
• DNS
• Multicast
• Broadcast
• Static Controller IP address

15
 The discovery mode for FortiAPCloud management platform is:
• DNS (for an FQDN pointing to the FortiAPCloud)
Zero 3. Verify that the FortiAP has successfully connected to the
controller in the FortiWLC/FortiAPCloud/FortiGate WebUI.
Configuration

16
 To enable the FortiAP with a static IP address:
1. Connect the FortiAP device to a separate private switch or hub.
Manual IP 2. Access the AP console through the serial port.
Configuration 3. To configure FortiAP’s own IP address, type ip config net static
address <ip-address> netmask <netmask ip-address> gateway
& Controller <gateway ip-address>.
Discovery 4. [FortiWLC only] To discover the controller, type ip config l2l3
<l2only | l2preferred | l3only | l3preferred>.
5. To configure a designated wireless controller’s IP address, type ip
config controller name <controller ip-address>.
6. Save the configuration by typing ip config save.
7. Move the FortiAP to the intended deployment location and
connect the Ethernet cable.
