Web-based manager
You can configure and manage the FortiGate unit using HTTP or a secure HTTPS
connection from any computer running Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or recent
browser. The web-based manager supports multiple languages.
You can use the web-based manager to configure most FortiGate settings, andmonitor the status of the FortiGate unit.

Command line interface
You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting amanagement computer serial port to the FortiGate serial console connector. You
can also use Telnet or a secure SSH connection to connect to the CLI from any
network that is connected to the FortiGate unit, including the Internet.

Connecting to the web-based manager
Use the following procedure to connect to the web-based manager for the firsttime. Configuration changes made with the web-based manager are effective
immediately, without resetting the firewall or interrupting service.
To connect to the web-based manager, you require:•a computer with an Ethernet connection•

Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher or any recent version of mostpopular web browser•

a crossover Ethernet cable or an Ethernet hub with two Ethernet cables

Note: Before starting Internet Explorer, (or any recent version of the most popular web
browser), ping to your FortiGate unit to see if the connection between the computer and theFortiGate unit is working properly.

To connect to the web-based manager
1

Set the IP address of the computer with an Ethernet connection to the static IP
address 192.168.1.2 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
You can also configure the management computer to obtain an IP address
automatically using the DHCP. The FortiGate DHCP server assigns the
management computer an IP address in the range 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.254.

Connecting to the FortiGate unit

Installing the FortiGate unit

The first warning prompts you to accept and optionally install the FortiGate unit’s
self-signed security certificate. If you do not accept the certificate, the FortiGate
unit refuses the connection. If you accept the certificate, the FortiGate login pageappears. The credentials entered are encrypted before they are sent to theFortiGate unit. If you choose to accept the certificate permanently, the warning is
not displayed again.
Just before the FortiGate login page is displayed, a second warning informs youthat the FortiGate certificate distinguished name differs from the original request.
This warning occurs because the FortiGate unit redirects the connection. This is
an informational message. Select OK to continue logging in.

Quick installation using factory defaults
You can quickly set up your FortiGate-60 series unit for a home or small officeusing the web-based manager and the factory default FortiGate configuration.
All you need to do is set your network computers to obtain an IP address
automatically and to obtain DNS server IP addresses automatically (using
DHCP), access the web-based manager, and configure the required settings for
the FortiGate WAN1 interface. You can also configure FortiGate DNS servers
and add a FortiGate default route if needed.

Factory defaults

Factory defaults
The FortiGate unit ships with a factory default configuration. The default
configuration allows you to connect to and use the FortiGate web-based manager
to configure the FortiGate unit onto the network. To configure the FortiGate unit
onto the network you add an administrator password, change network interface IP
addresses, add DNS server IP addresses, and, if required, configure basicrouting.
If you plan to operate the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode, you can switch toTransparent mode from the factory default configuration and then configure theFortiGate unit onto the network in Transparent mode.
Once you complete the network configuration, you can perform additional
configuration tasks such as setting system time, configuring virus and attack
definition updates, and registering the FortiGate unit.
The factory default firewall configuration includes a single network addresstranslation (NAT) policy that allows users on your internal network to connect tothe external network, and stops users on the external network from connecting to
the internal network. You can add more firewall policies to provide more control of
the network traffic passing through the FortiGate unit.
The factory default protection profiles can be used to apply different levels of
antivirus protection, web content filtering, spam filtering, and IPS to the network
traffic that is controlled by firewall policies.

Factory default firewall configuration

Factory defaults

Factory default firewall configuration
FortiGate firewall policies control how all traffic is processed by the FortiGate unit.
Until firewall policies are added, no traffic can be accepted by or pass through theFortiGate unit. The factory default configuration contains one firewall policy thatallows all traffic originating on the internal network to access the Internet. No othertraffic is allowed through the FortiGate unit. To allow traffic through the FortiGate
unit, you can add firewall policies. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for
information about adding firewall policies.
The following firewall configuration settings are included in the default firewall
configuration to make it easier to add firewall policies.

Factory default protection profiles
Use protection profiles to apply different protection settings for traffic controlled by
firewall policies. You can use protection profiles to:•configure antivirus protection for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies•

configure Web filtering for HTTP firewall policies•

configure Web category filtering for HTTP firewall policies•

configure spam filtering for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall policies•

enable the Intrusion Protection System (IPS) for all services•

enable content logging for HTTP, FTP, IMAP, POP3, and SMTP firewall
policies

By using protection profiles, you can build protection configurations that can beapplied to different types of firewall policies. This allows you to customize types
and levels of protection for different firewall policies.
For example, while traffic between internal and external addresses might needstrict protection, traffic between trusted internal addresses might need moderate
protection. You can configure firewall policies for different traffic services to use
the same or different protection profiles.

Planning the FortiGate configuration

Configuring the FortiGate unit for the
network
This section provides an overview of the operating modes of the FortiGate unit.
Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how tointegrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on theoperating mode you select: NAT/Route mode or Transparent mode.
This section includes the following topics:•

Planning the FortiGate configuration•

Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding to ping requests•

NAT/Route mode installation•

Transparent mode installation•

Next steps

Planning the FortiGate configuration
Before you configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit
into the network. Among other things, you must decide whether you want the unit
to be visible to the network, which firewall functions you want it to provide, andhow you want it to control the traffic flowing between its interfaces.
Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select. You canconfigure the FortiGate unit in one of two modes: NAT/Route mode (the default) or
Transparent mode.
You can also configure the FortiGate unit and the network it protects using thedefault settings.

NAT/Route mode
In NAT/Route mode, the FortiGate unit is visible to the network. Like a router, all
its interfaces are on different subnets. The following interfaces are available in
NAT/Route mode:

You can add firewall policies to control whether communications through theFortiGate unit operate in NAT or Route mode. Firewall policies control the flow of
traffic based on the source address, destination address, and service of eachpacket. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation
before it sends the packet to the destination network. In Route mode, there is noaddress translation.
You typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is operating as agateway between private and public networks. In this configuration, you would
create NAT mode firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal,
private network and the external, public network (usually the Internet).
Note: If you have multiple internal networks, such as a DMZ network in addition to theinternal, private network, you could create route mode firewall policies for traffic flowing
between them.

In NAT/Route mode, you can configure the FortiGate unit with multiple redundantconnections to the external network (usually the Internet).
For example, you could create the following configuration:•

WAN1 is the default interface to the external network (usually the Internet)•

Modem is the redundant interface to the external network for the FortiGate-60
series•DMZ is the redundant interface to the external network on the FortiGate-100A•

Internal is the interface to the internal network

You must configure routing to support redundant Internet connections. Routing
can automatically redirect connections from an interface if its connection to theexternal network fails.
Otherwise, security policy configuration is similar to a NAT/Route mode
configuration with a single Internet connection. You would create NAT mode
firewall policies to control traffic flowing between the internal, private network andthe external, public network (usually the Internet).

Transparent mode
In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. Similar to a
network bridge, all FortiGate interfaces must be on the same subnet. You only
have to configure a management IP address so that you can make configuration
changes. The management IP address is also used for antivirus and attack
definition updates.
You typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network
behind an existing firewall or behind a router. The FortiGate unit performs firewall
functions, IPSec VPN, virus scanning, IPS web content filtering, and Spamfiltering.

Preventing the public FortiGate interface from responding toping requests
The factory default configuration of your FortiGate unit allows the default public
interface to respond to ping requests. The default public interface is also called thedefault external interface, and is the interface of the FortiGate unit that is usuallyconnected to the Internet.

Configuring the FortiGate unit for the network

NAT/Route mode installation

For the most secure operation, you should change the configuration of theexternal interface so that it does not respond to ping requests. Not responding toping requests makes it more difficult for a potential attacker to detect yourFortiGate unit from the Internet.
Depending on the FortiGate unit, the default public interface can be the externalor WAN1 interface.
A FortiGate unit responds to ping requests if ping administrative access isenabled for that interface. You can use the following procedures to disable pingaccess for the external interface of a FortiGate unit. You can use the sameprocedure for any FortiGate interface. You can also use the same procedure in
NAT/Route or Transparent mode.
To disable ping administrative access from the web-based manager
1

Log into the FortiGate web-based manager.

2

Go to System > Network > Interface.

3

Choose the external interface and select Edit.

4

Clear the Ping Administrative Access check box.

5

Select OK to save the changes.

Register your FortiGate unit
After installing a new FortiGate unit, register the unit by visiting
http://support.fortinet.com and select Product Registration.
To register, enter your contact information and the serial numbers of the FortiGate
units that you or your organization have purchased. You can register multiple
FortiGate units in a single session without re-entering your contact information.
By registering your FortiGate unit, you will receive updates to threat detection andprevention databases (Antivirus, Intrusion Detection, etc.) and will also ensure
your access to technical support.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures
You can configure the FortiGate unit to connect to the FortiGuard Distribution
Network (FDN) to update the antivirus (including grayware), antispam and IPS
attack definitions.
The FDN is a world wide network of FortiGuard Distribution Servers (FDS). When
the FortiGate unit connects to the FDN, it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this,all FortiGate units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest
time zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiGate unit.
You can update your antivirus and IPS signatures using the web-based manager
or the CLI. Before you can begin receiving updates, you must register yourFortiGate unit from the Fortinet web page. For information about registering yourFortiGate unit, see “Register your FortiGate unit” on page 47.
Note: Update AV and IPS signatures on a regular basis. If you do not update AV and IPS
signatures regularly, the FortiGate unit can become vulnerable to new viruses.

After registering your FortiGate unit, verify the FortiGate unit can connect to the
FDN:•

Check that the FortiGate unit’s system time is correct.

•

From the web-based manager, select refresh from the FortiGuard Center.

Next steps

Configuring the FortiGate unit for the network

If you cannot connect to the FDN, follow the procedure for registering yourFortiGate unit and try again or see “Adding an override server” on page 49.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures from the web-based
manager
After you have registered your FortiGate unit, you can update antivirus and IPS
signatures using the web-based manager. The FortiGuard Center enables you toreceive push updates, allow push update to a specific IP address, and schedule
updates for daily, weekly, or hourly intervals.
To update antivirus definitions and IPS signatures
1

Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard Center.

2

Select Update Now to update the antivirus definitions.
If the connection to the FDN is successful, the web-based manager displays amessage similar to the following:Your update request has been sent. Your database will
be updated in a few minutes. Please check your update
page for the status of the update.
After a few minutes, if an update is available, the System FortiGuard Center pagelists new version information for antivirus definitions. The System Status page also
displays new dates and version numbers for the antivirus definitions. Messages
are recorded to the event log indicating whether the update was successful or not.
Note: Updating antivirus definitions can cause a very short disruption in traffic currently
being scanned while the FortiGate unit applies the new signature database. Schedule
updates when traffic is light, for example overnight, to minimize any disruption.

Updating the IPS signatures from the CLI

Configuring the modem interface

Selecting a modem mode

Configuring the modem interface
The modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60 series only excluding theFortiGate-60ADSL.

60
Series

The following section will cover how to configure the FortiGate-60M using the
web-based manager. To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 modem, use
the CLI.
The FortiGate-60 series includes support for a redundant or stand alone modem
interface in NAT/Route mode.
•

In redundant mode, the modem interface automatically takes over from aselected Ethernet interface when that Ethernet interface is unavailable.

•

In stand alone mode, the modem interface is the connection from the FortiGate
unit to the Internet.

When connecting to an ISP in either configuration, the modem can automaticallydial up to three dial-up accounts until the modem connects to an ISP.
This section includes the following topics:•

Selecting a modem mode•

Configuring modem settings•

Connecting and disconnecting the modem in Stand alone mode•

Configuring the modem for the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60•

Adding a Ping Server•

Adding firewall policies for modem connections

Selecting a modem mode
The modem interface can work in one of two modes:•

redundant mode•

stand alone mode

Redundant mode configuration
The redundant modem interface serves as a backup to the Ethernet interface. If
that Ethernet interface disconnects from its network, the modem automaticallydials the configured dial-up account(s). When the modem connects to a dial-up
account, the FortiGate unit routes IP packets normally destined for the selected
Ethernet interface to the modem interface. During this time, the unit pings the
Ethernet connection to check when it is back online.
When the Ethernet interface can connect to its network again, the FortiGate unit
disconnects the modem interface and switches back to the Ethernet interface.

To configure the FortiGate-60 and FortiWiFi-60 through the CLI

1

Log into the CLI.

2

Enter the following to configure a redundant modem:
config system modem
set status enable
set status mode redundant
endStand alone mode configuration
In stand alone mode, you manually connect the modem to a dial-up account. The
modem interface operates as the primary connection to the Internet. The
FortiGate unit routes traffic through the modem interface, which remains
permanently connected to the dial-up account.
If the connection to the dial-up account fails, the FortiGate unit modem
automatically redials the number. The modem redials the ISP number based on
the amount of times specified by the redial limit, or until it connects to a dial-up
account.
In stand alone mode the modem interface replaces the external Ethernet
interface. You must also configure firewall policies for connections between themodem interface and other FortiGate interfaces.
Note: Do not add a default route to the Ethernet interface that the modem interface
replaces.
Note: Do not add firewall policies for connections between the Ethernet interface that themodem replaces and other interfaces.

SeriesThe ADSL modem interface is available on the FortiGate-60ADSL unit only.

This section describes how to configure the ADSL interface on a
FortiGate-60ADSL unit. It only describes the differences between ADSL and otherFortiGate interface configuration procedures. For more detailed information referto the FortiGate Administration Guide.
The FortiGate-60ADSL unit contains an Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line(ADSL) interface. This provides much higher communication speeds thanstandard telephone modems.
Note: The ADSL interface will only function when using the FortiGate unit in NAT/Routemode. Changing to Transparent mode will disable the ADSL interface.

Configuring the ADSL interface using the web-based manager
The following procedures explain how to configure the ADSL interface tocommunicate with your ISP. Where indicated, you need to enter information thatyour ADSL ISP provides.

Configuring basic ADSL settings
The ADSL interface is configured like any other FortiGate physical network
interface. The information that you need to provide depends on the addressing
mode your ISP requires you to use. Static addressing using IPOA or EOA
requires only an IP address and netmask. If you are using dynamic addressing,you need to configure it as described in “Configuring DHCP on the ADSL
interface” on page 62 or “Configuring PPPoE or PPPoA on the ADSL interface” onpage 63.
Go to System > Network > Interface. Select Create New or select the Edit iconof an existing interface. In the Addressing mode section, select IPoA or EoA.

Using a wireless network

Setting up a wireless network

Using a wireless network
This chapter is specifically for the FortiWiFi-60 units.
WiFi60In a wired network, computers are connected through a series of cables thattransfer information. In a wireless network, information is transferred over radio
waves. There are factors which affect the transmission of data “on the air” that you
must take into account when setting up a wireless network.
This section outlines the considerations for wireless networking and steps you cantake to make your wireless network as efficient as possible.
This section includes the following topics:•

Setting up a wireless network•

Wireless Security•

FortiWiFi-60 operation modes•

Setting up the FortiWiFi-60 as an Access Point

Setting up a wireless network
In its simplest form, a wireless network is an Access Point communicating with
one wireless device. An Access Point (AP) is a device that provides acommunications hub for a wireless network. The AP and the wireless devices
operate on a common radio channel. The FortiWiFi-60 acts as an AP and assigns
all wireless users to the same subnet. With the proper firewall policies and routing,wireless users can communicate with users on the internal network or on an
external network such as the Internet.

Positioning an Access Point
When placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP, your main concern is providing a strong signal
to all users. A strong signal ensures a fast connection and the efficient transfer ofdata. A weaker signal means a greater chance of data transmission errors and theneed to re-send information, slowing down data transfer.
Consider the following guidelines when placing the FortiWiFi-60 AP:•

Physical barriers can impede the radio signals. Solid objects such as walls,
furniture and people absorb radio waves, weakening the signal. Be aware of
the physical barriers in your office space that may reduce a signal. If there isenough physical interference, you may encounter dead spots that receive nosignals.

•

Ensure the FortiWiFi-60 AP is located in a prominent location within a room for
maximum coverage, rather than in a corner.

•

Construction materials used in a building can also weaken radio signals.
Rooms with walls of concrete or metal can affect the signal strength.

Radio Frequency interface
The 802.11 standard uses a frequency range of 2.4 to 2.483 GHz. Radio
frequency (RF) interference occurs when other devices send RF signals during
their normal operation that use the same frequency as the FortiWiFi-60 AP.
Wireless devices such as 2.4 GHz cordless phones, microwave ovens andBluetooth devices can interfere with packet transmissions on a wireless network.

Using a wireless network

Setting up a wireless network

To avoid RF interference:•

Remove these devices from the immediate area where users are working.
Something as simple as a Bluetooth enabled mouse may cause transmissioninterruptions.

•

Keep the FortiWiFi-60 AP and wireless devices at least 10 feet away fromappliances such as microwave ovens and cordless phones.

•

If you must have a cordless phone, select one that does not use the 2.4GHz
frequency range.

•

Consider more FortiWiFi-60 APs to help strengthen the signal. The weaker thesignal, the slower the transmission will be as it tries to compete against otherwireless devices.

•

Set a channel that users and FortiWiFi-60 APs will specifically use can
improve signal quality.

Using multiple access points
If you cannot avoid some of these impediments due to the shape of the office orbuilding materials used, you may need to use multiple FortiWiFi-60 APs to help
distribute the radio signal around the room. Figure 16 shows how positioning two
FortiWiFi-60 APs within a uniquely shaped office space helps to distribute signals
around the area.
Figure 16: Using multiple APs to provide a constant strong signal.

StairsElevator

Washrooms

This sample office has washrooms, a stairwell and an elevator shaft in the centerof the building, making it impossible to use a single FortiWiFi-60 AP effectively.
The elevator shaft and multiple metal stalls in the washrooms can cause signal
degradation. However, placing a FortiWiFi-60 AP in opposite corners of the officeprovides maximum coverage.
When using multiple APs, each FortiWiFi-60 AP should be set to a different
channel to avoid interference in areas where signals from both FortiWiFi-60
devices can be received.

Wireless Security

Using a wireless network

Wireless Security
Radio waves transmitted between a wireless device and access points provide theweakest link between the wireless device and network servers. Wirelessnetworking can be risky because information travels on radio waves, which is a
public medium. The 802.11 standard includes security options to stop yourinformation from being intercepted by unwanted sources. These are Wireless
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption. Wirelessencryption is only used between the wireless device and the AP. The AP decrypts
the data before sending it along the wired network. The FortiWiFi-60 supports
both encryption methods.

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)WEP security uses an encryption key between the wireless device and the AP. For
WEP security, the wireless device and AP must use the same encryption key, andis manually typed by the wireless user and administrator. When activated, thewireless device encrypts the data with the encryption key for each frame using
RSA RC4 ciphers.
There has been criticism of WEP security. WEP keys are static. They must bechanged manually and frequently on both the wireless device and the APs. On asmall company or network with a few users and APs, this is not a big issue.
However, the more users and APs, changing WEP keys regularly can become an
administrative headache and potentially error prone. Consequently, keys are
rarely changed over months or years, leaving a hacker plenty of time to get the
key and gain access to the network.
In small wireless networking environments, activating WEP security will
significantly minimize outside infiltrators from getting in your network and is better
than no security at all. However, it is still very important that you regularly change
the WEP key, at least weekly; or monthly at most.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
WPA was developed to replace the WEP standard and provide a higher level ofdata protection for wireless networks. WPA provides two methods ofauthentication; through 802.1X authentication or pre-shared keys.
802.1X authenticates users through an EAP authentication server such as a
RADIUS server authenticates each user before they can connect to the network.
The encryption keys can be changed at varying intervals to minimize theopportunity for hackers to crack the key being used.
In a network setup where a RADIUS server is not a viable option, WPA also
provides authentication with preshared keys using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol(TKIP). Using TKIP, the encryption key is continuously re-keyed while the user isconnected to the wireless network. This creates a unique key on every data
packet. To further ensure data integrity, a Message Integrity Code (MIC also
known as Michael) is incorporated into each packet. It uses an 8 byte message
integrity code that is encrypted using the MAC addresses and data from eachframe to provide a more secure packet transmission.
WPA provides a more robust security between the wireless device and the accesspoint. The FortiWiFi-60/60M device supports both WPA methods.

Using a wireless network

FortiWiFi-60 operation modes

Additional security measures
The FortiWiFi-60 includes other security measures you can use to block
unwanted users from accessing your wireless network. By setting a few extra
options, you can be assured your network and its information is secure.

MAC address filtering
To improve the security of your wireless network, consider enabling MAC addressfiltering on the FortiWiFi-60 unit. By enabling this feature, you define the wirelessdevices that can access the network based on their system MAC address. Whena user attempts to access the wireless network, the FortiWiFi-60 unit checks the
MAC address of the user to the list you created. If the MAC address is on theapproved list, the user gains access to the network. If the user is not in the list, theuser is rejected. Using MAC address filtering makes it more difficult for a hacker
using random MAC addresses or spoofing a MAC address to gain access to yournetwork.

Service Set Identifier
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the network name shared by all users on awireless network. Wireless users should configure their computers to connect tothe network that broadcasts this network name. For security reasons, do not leave
the default name of “fortinet” as the network name.
Broadcasting enables wireless users to find a network. The FortiWiFi-60 models
includes an option not to broadcast the SSID. This provides an extra layer ofprotection. If you configure all wireless users to the correct SSID, you do not needto enable the broadcasting of the SSID.
To disable SSID
1

Go to System > Wireless > Settings.

2

Select Disable for the SSID Broadcast.

3

Select OK.

FortiWiFi-60 operation modes
The FortiWiFi-60 models each have two modes of operation for wirelessnetworking: Access Point and Client.

Access Point mode
When using the Forti-WiFi-60 in Access Point mode, the device acts as an accesspoint for wireless users to connect to, send and receive information over awireless network. It enables multiple wireless network users access to the
network without the need to connect to it physically. The FortiWiFi-60 can connect
to the internal network and act as a firewall to the Internet. Access Point mode is
the default mode.

When using the FortiWiFi-60 in Client mode, the device is set to receive
transmissions from another access point. This enables you to connect remoteusers to an existing network using wireless protocols from a location that does nothave a wired infrastructure.
For example, in a warehouse where shipping and receiving are on opposite sidesof the building, running cables is not an option due to the warehouse environment.
The FortiWiFi-60 unit can support wired users using its four Ethernet ports andcan connect to another Access Point wirelessly as a Client. This connects thewired users to the network using the 802.11 wireless standard as a backbone.

The FortiUSB key

The FortiUSB key
The FortiUSB key provides flexibility and control when backing up and restoring
configuration files. The FortiUSB key also enables you to have a single, secure
location for storing configuration files.
The FortiUSB key is used with the USB Auto-Install feature, automaticallyinstalling a configuration file and a firmware image file on a system reboot. The
USB Auto-Install feature uses a configuration file and a firmware image file that ison the FortiUSB key, and on a system reboot, checks if these files need to beinstalled. If they do, the FortiGate unit installs the configuration file and firmware
image file directly from the key to the unit.
Note: The FortiUSB key is purchased separately. The FortiGate unit only supports theFortiUSB key available from Fortinet.

Inserting and removing the FortiUSB key from the FortiGate unit
To ensure the FortiGate unit recognizes that they key is either inserted or
removed from the device, you must use the following steps to properly insert the
key. Properly removing the FortiUSB key ensures the files are protected from
accidentally being lost or deleted.
Note: When the FortiUSB key is inserted, the FortiGate unit boots from the flash. If the USB
Auto-Install feature is enabled, the unit checks if a different image or configuration fileneeds to be installed.

To properly insert the FortiUSB key
1
