Web Config
1. Connect the FortiGate internal interface to a management computer Ethernet interface. Use a
cross-over Ethernet cable to connect the devices directly. Use straight-through Ethernet cables to
connect the devices through a hub or switch.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as the internal interface of the
FortiGate unit. To do this, change the IP address of the management computer to 192.168.1.2 and
the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. To access the FortiGate web-based manager, start Internet Explorer and browse to
https://192.168.1.99 (remember to include the “s” in https://).
4. Type admin in the Name field and select Login.
NAT/Route mode

.
2. Select Change Password for the admin administrator and enter a new password.
To configure interfaces
1. Go to
System > Network > Interface
.
2. Select the edit icon for each interface to configure.
3. Set the addressing mode for the interface. (See the online help for information.)
•
For manual addressing, enter the IP address and netmask for the interface.
•
For DHCP addressing, select DHCP and any required settings.
•
For PPPoE addressing, select PPPoE, and enter the username and password and any other
required settings.

, enter the Primary and Secondary DNS IP addresses that you
recorded above and select Apply.
Command Line Interface
1. Use the RJ-45 to DB9 serial cable to connect the FortiGate Console port to the management
computer serial port.
2. Start a terminal emulation program (HyperTerminal) on the management computer. Use these set-
tings:
3. Baud Rate (bps) 9600, Data bits 8, Parity None, Stop bits 1, and Flow Control None.
4. At the Login: prompt, type admin and press Enter twice (no password required).
NAT/Route mode
1. Configure the FortiGate internal interface.
config system interface
edit internal
set ip <interface_ipv4mask>
end
2. Repeat to configure each interface, for example, to configure the WAN1 interface.
config system interface
edit wan1
...
3. Configure the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses.
config system dns
set primary <dns_ipv4>
set secondary <dns_ipv4>
end
4. Configure the default gateway.
config router static
edit 1
set gateway <gateway_address_ipv4>
end
Transparent Mode
1. Change from NAT/Route mode to Transparent mode and configure the Management IP address.
config system settings
set opmode transparent
set manageip <manage_ipv4>
set gateway <gw_ipv4>
end
2. Configure the DNS server IP address.
config system dns
set primary <dns_ipv4>
set secondary <dns_ipv4>
end
Collecting Information
Configuring
NAT/Route mode
You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway between
private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall.
Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit.
Transparent mode
You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing
firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall.
Configuring PBX Features
Use Web Config to configure the PBX features below. You will need to configure the following PBX features:
•
PSTN Interfaces to establish connection with the telephone network and the FortiGate unit.
•
VoIP Provider that provides digital telephone service that uses the Internet for call transport.
•
Dial Plan to determine the expected number and pattern of digits for a telephone number. This includes country codes, area codes, and any combination of digits dialed. Dial plans must comply with the
telephone networks to which they connect.
Note that this is only basic configuration information. For more information on configuring the PBX features, see the
FortiGate Administration Guide
.
To set the PSTN Interfaces
1. Go to
System > Network > PSTN Interface
tab.
2. Select one of the fxo ports and click the Edit icon to set up the interface.
To set the VoIP Provider
1. Go to
PBX > Config > VoIP Provider
tab.
2. Create a VoIP provider and configure the properties.
To set the Dial Plan
1. Go to
PBX > Call > Dial Plan
tab.
2. Create a new Dial Plan and apply the PSTN Interfaces and/or VoIP Provider to the pattern of digits and the telephone network.
