AP Manager

AP Manager

The AP Manager pane allows you to manage FortiAP access points that are controlled by FortiGate devices and are managed by FortiManager. You can use AP Manager for the following modes of management:

  • Central management of managed access points: When central management is enabled, you can view, create, edit, and import profiles. WiFi profiles share a common database. You can apply profiles to any device, regardless of which FortiGate controller it is connected to.
  • Per-device management of managed access points: When per-device management is enabled, you can change settings for each managed access point. All FortiAP devices and WiFi profiles are managed at the device level with no shared objects.

The AP Manager tree menu contains the following items:

Managed FortiAPs

Displays unauthorized and authorized FortiAP devices. You can view, authorize, and edit authorized FortiAP devices.

WiFi Maps

View the locations of FortiAP devices on Google Maps. You can create a floor map, add an image of a floor map, and place the FortiAP devices on the map.
