    Hello Ashik, In response to your questions please see the outlined below. 1. Build0475 would be a manufacturing build. 2. There is no console available on the FAP 221C model.     One would have to run execute telnet from the FortiController. 3. A hard reset can be performed by pressing & holding the reset button    aprrx 10 sec, located on the face-center above the Fortinet logo. 4. Once the hard reset has been completed, the unit returns to DHCP by default.     From the FortiController > Managed AP's, one would see the 221C listed w/Ip Address     and State w/a question mark (?).     Hope this helps,

     

    Thank you,
