Fortinet (FortiGate Secure Wireless Controller)

FortiGate Secure Wireless Controller setup

You need to manually create the WLAN/s you want to use to run Cusna on.

1. Go to WiFi and Switch Controller (or simply WiFi Controller, depending on your licenses) > SSIDs and edit an existing SSID you want to use or create a new one.

2. In Security Mode, select WPA2 Personal.

3. In Pre-shared Key, select Multiple as the PSK mode

4. Next, you need to select at least one MPSK Profile (otherwise the SSID will switch back automatically to Single PSK mode once you save the configuration). You can select any existing MPSK Profile if you have one, Cusna will create a new one automatically once integrated with your Fortigate and assign it to this SSID. If you don't have any existing MPSK Profile, create a new one:

   1. In the MPSK Profile dropdown, select + Create . The New MPSK Profile dialog appears.
   2. Enter any value in the Name file, such as "Default"

   3. In the MPSK Group list section, click +Add and select Create Group. The New MPSK Group dialog appears.
   4. Enter any value in the Name file, such as "Default"

   5. In the MPSK Key list section, click Create Key and select Create Group. The New MPSK Key dialog appears.
   6. Enter any value for Name and a 10 character string for Pre-shared key.

   7. Save all the configurations until you go back to the list of SSIDs.
