Is it possible to give the computers a fixed IP address Through the graphical interface ?       The version of the device is FortiWiFi-60B 3.00-b0753(MR7 Patch 9) Is there a newer version?

i assume you picked something up from ebay or were handed something? i would try to look for something newer, this device had end of life in 2015 and support upto FortiOS 4.3. Currently 6.0 is the latest, and 5.6 is kinda stable.

 

you want to have the DHCP server give out specific IPs to specific clients? you gotta look at the DHCP server reservation settings for that.

 

CLI: http://firewallguru.blogspot.nl/2008/03/dhcp-address-reservations.html

 

GUI: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1094287-how-to-reserve-ip-address-in-fortigate-40c-with-os-5-2-3-built-760

 

those answers are for other versions, so you might have to look around a little, but it shows the general idea.

You can always get the docs for your OS version on docs.fortinet.com, even without any valid contract. Look for 'Older versions' and then the 'FortiOS Handbook'.

v3.7 is a bit...outdated...but still works apparantly. Unfortunately, to get the latest available firmware (4.3.19) you need a support contract which is not available anymore for that model.

DHCP reservation was done in the CLI (Console widget or SSH connection via putty) only, IIRC.
