FAP22B1234567890 # fap-get-status
Version: FortiAP-220B v4.0,build222,120109 (MR3)

BIOS version: 04000010
Regcode: N
Hostname: FAP22B1234567890

The following command can also be used to filter all of the active FortiAP firmware statuses:
diagnose wireless-controller wlac -c wtp | grep "active sw ver"
active sw ver : FP231F-v7.2-build0409
active sw ver : FP231F-v7.2-build0409
The firmware version can be verified from the FortiGate GUI by navigating to WiFi & Switch Controller -> Managed FortiAPs.
