5Specify how often the FortiWiFi unit should synchronize its time with the NTP server.

6Select OK.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures

You can configure the FortiWiFi 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 FortiWiFi unit connects to the FDN, it connects to the nearest FDS. To do this, all FortiWiFi units are programmed with a list of FDS addresses sorted by nearest time zone according to the time zone configured for the FortiWiFi 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 your FortiWiFi unit from the Fortinet web page.

Note: Update AV and IPS signatures on a regular basis. If you do not update AV and IPS signatures regularly, the FortiWiFi unit can become vulnerable to new viruses.

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

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

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

If you cannot connect to the FDN, follow the procedure for registering your

FortiWiFi unit and try again or see “Adding an override server” on page 46.

Updating antivirus and IPS signatures from the web-based manager

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