Configuring FortiVoice

A FortiVoice can be added to the Security Fabric on the root FortiGate. Once the FortiVoice is added and authorized, you can log in to the device from the Security Fabric topology pages or the topology tree. A FortiVoice can be authorized in FortiOS, or can be pre-authroized with its serial number or certificate. A FortiVoice can be added to the dashboard as a Fabric device widget.

Authorizing using the FortiOS GUI

To authorize a FortiVoice to join the Security Fabric:
  1. On the FortiVoice, enable the Security Fabric. See Enabling Security Fabric in the FortiVoice Phone System Administration Guide.

  2. On the root FortiGate, go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors. The FortiVoice is highlighted in the topology list in the right panel with the status Waiting for Authorization.

  3. Click the highlighted FortiVoice and select Authorize.

  4. Verify that the certificate is correct, then click Accept.

Pre-authorizing using the FortiVoice certificate

A FortiVoice can be pre-authorized using its serial number or certificate. When pre-authorizing, the FortiVoice can join at any time, and it will not need to be authorized in FortiOS. In the following example, the FortiVoice is pre-authorized using a certificate.
