    Operator's Manual

    Home FortiGate / FortiOS 7.0.15 Operator's Manual

    Introduction

    Introduction

    The FortiGate/FortiWiFi 50G-5G (FG/FWF 50G-5G), FortiGate Rugged 60G-5G-Series (FGR-60G-5G), and FortiGate Rugged 70G-5G-Dual (FGR-70G-5G-DUAL) devices come with a built-in 5G modem to provide additional Internet connection and/or a redundant WAN link for its users. This Manual discusses how to configure the built-in 5G modem as the Internet access interface.

    Note

    Before you start setting up your Fortinet 5G device, be sure to keep the following in mind:

    • To provide Internet connectivity to end devices on your network through the LAN ports, your FortiGate/FortiWiFi devices must operate in NAT mode; it does not work in transparent mode.

    • The term "5G modem" means a 5G-capable modem.

    • This manual covers the configuration of the internal 5G modem only. For configuration of the other features of your FortiGate/FortiWiFi devices, refer to the latest FortiGate/FortiOS and FortiWiFi documentation.

    • We strongly recommend against putting any USB modem into the external USB port because doing so might confuse the system and cause the built-in 5G modem to malfunction. On the other hand, if you clearly understand what you are doing, you can put a USB modem running the PPP protocol in the external USB port.

    This Manual is prepared for users of FG/FWF 50G-5G, FGR-60G-5G-Series, and FGR-70G-5G-DUAL devices with the built-in 5G modem.

    For FG/FWF 50G-5G and FGR-70G-5G-DUAL, the instructions are based on the FortiOS 7.0.15 GA release; for FGR-60G-5G-Series, the instructions are based on FortiOS 7.4.8, build 6391 with the Auralo eSIM.
