SSID Not Broadcasting

Just took over IT for a new company, never used Fortinet before, limited networking experience. Device is a FortiWifi 61E. Previous tech used generic consumer routers as APs, not sure why.

 

My goal is to configure a Guest Wifi with internet access but no access to other devices separate, and a bridged network so that I can join devices to our domain over Wifi when needed. I've tried a bunch of stuff, nothing's worked.

 

I've been trying to just to get a test network up, no matter what I try I never get and SSID to broadcast. I've dug through the CLI a bit, but still can't find a problem. Here is what I think is relevant, let me know if I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated.

FAP221E supports PoE. It can also be powered up via External Power Source and you can the Ethernet via Non-PoE Switch.

Solved my problem, I'm looking at expanding our network. Do the access points need PoE, specifically FAP-221E? Or can I plug them into an outlet and run the ethernet from a non-PoE switch?
