Defining AP profiles

Now that the SSIDs are defined, we can create a FortiAP profile.

When we configure a new profile, we need to select the country and the FortiAP model. The number and type of radios depend on the model. As a result, SSID assignment may vary. As mentioned earlier, selecting the proper RF bands and channels can greatly improve bandwidth and coverage. See also Configuring FortiAP.

To define AP profiles:

1. Go to AP Manager > WiFi Profiles > AP Profile, and click Create New. The Create New AP Profile pane is displayed.
2. In the Name box, type a name for the profile.
3. In the Platform list, select the FortiAP model.
4. In the Country/Region list, select the country.
5. Set the remaining options, and click OK.
