Description
FortiGate/FortiWiFi 60D/60D-3G4G-VZW have a 3G/4G modem embedded which is ready to connect to the Verizon network. These devices have to have the proper apn setting configured in order to connect to the ISP.


Scope

  • Modem setting have been configured.

It is possible that the apn setting is not properly configured on the device's modem configuration.

config system lte-modem
get

If there is no apn configured or the apn is not correct as per your region, set it up with the following commands:

config system lte-modem
set apn <apn code>  -> example for west region: set apn we01.vzwstatic
end

1. ne01.vzwstatic (NorthEast)
2. nw01.vzwstatic (NorthWest)
3. so01.vzwstatic (South)
