Hi Everyone,

I hope your Thursday is going well!

We have about 15 FAP-320C's. After a recent firmware upgrade the name on the AP's no longer show in FortiOS. The field is blank, so we don't know which AP is where in the building.

Is there a way to blink the AP in order to locate it?

Thanks,

Johnathon

Probably easier to load an unencrypted copy of the old config into a text editor (that understands unix/linux line feed only text files) and scan the "config wireless-controller wtp" section for the name/serial number/location info.

Edit: assuming these APs are managed by a Fortigate. Once you have the info, you can manual add the info back in the current config.
