cannot access the firewall after enabling the transparent mode

[hammam]

I have followed the instructions in http://cookbook.fortinet.com/installing-a-fortigate-in-transparent-mode-54/ to enable the transparent mode. no policies were created whatsoever in firewall. I used the following commands:

config system settings
  set opmode transparent
  set manageip 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0
  set gateway 192.168.1.200
end

current two interfaces are connected to the firewall one to my laptop the other to the internal network.
I'm able to access the internal network along with the internet from my laptop but I'm unable to access
the fortigate firewall.
when I connect internal network WAN1, I cannot access the neither to local network nor the internet from
the laptop which is directly connected to the fortigate firewall
do I need to reset the firewall through the console management port?

Anyways, I was able to spot the problem. The router\firewall uses the default LAN ip (192.168.1.99). when I enabled the transparent used the following CLI commands:

config system settings
  set opmode transparent
  set manageip 192.168.1.99 255.255.255.0
  set gateway 192.168.1.200
end

Notice that the management ip is the same as the LAN IP. I simply used another IP (192.168.1.98)  instead and everything worked fine
