Place the unit on a stable surface. It requires 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) clearance above and on each side to allow for cooling. Make sure the power switch on the back of the unit is turned off before connecting the power and network cables. The following is displayed on the LCD when the unit is up and running: Menu [ Fortigat -> ] NAT, Standalone • • • Connect the FortiGate unit to a power outlet and to the internal and external networks. Before beginning to configure the FortiGate unit, you need to plan how to integrate the unit into your network. Your configuration plan depends on the operating mode you select: NAT/Route mode (the default) or Transparent mode. NAT/Route mode In NAT/Route mode, each FortiGate unit is visible to the network that it is connected to. All of its interfaces are on different subnets. Each interface that is connected to a network must be configured with an IP address that is valid for that network. You would typically use NAT/Route mode when the FortiGate unit is deployed as a gateway between private and public networks. In its default NAT/Route mode configuration, the unit functions as a firewall. Firewall policies control communications through the FortiGate unit. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. In NAT/Route mode, firewall policies can operate in NAT mode or in Route mode. In NAT mode, the FortiGate unit performs network address translation before IP packets are sent to the destination network. In Route mode, no translation takes place. Transparent mode In Transparent mode, the FortiGate unit is invisible to the network. All of its interfaces are on the same subnet. You only have to configure a management IP address so that you can make configuration changes. You would typically use the FortiGate unit in Transparent mode on a private network behind an existing firewall or behind a router. In its default Transparent mode configura- tion, the unit functions as a firewall. No traffic can pass through the FortiGate unit until you add firewall policies. You can connect up to four network segments to the FortiGate unit to control traffic between these network segments.

Web-based manager and Setup Wizard Using the Setup Wizard you can add basic settings by stepping through the wizard pages and filling in the information required. The FortiGate web-based manager is an easy to use management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password, interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. Requirements: • Ethernet connection between the FortiGate-300 and a management computer. • Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher on the management computer. Command Line Interface (CLI) The CLI is a full-featured management tool. Use it to configure the administrator password, the interface addresses, the default gateway address, and the DNS server addresses. To configure advanced settings, see the Documentation CD-ROM. Requirements: • The RJ-45-serial connection between the FortiGate-300 and management computer. • A terminal emulation application (HyperTerminal for Windows) on the management computer. Control Buttons & LCD The control buttons and LCD are located on the front panel of the FortiGate-300. Use them to configure the internal, external and Port 1 (DMZ) interface addresses, and the default gateway address. To configure the other interface addresses, and the DNS server addresses, use the web-based manager or the CLI. Requirements: • Physical access to the FortiGate-300. Choose among three different tools to configure the FortiGate-300. QuickStart Guide FortiGate-300 Check that the package contents are complete. • Place the unit on a stable surface or mount it in a 19-inch rack. It requires 1.5 inches clearance (3.75 cm) on each side to allow for cooling. • Make sure the power switch on the back of the unit is turned off before connecting the power and network cables. • MAIN MENU appears when the unit is up and running.
