QuickStart Guide
FortiToken-200B
FortiToken-200B is a small hardware One Time Password (OTP) generator, aka
Token, that fits on a key chain. Simply press the button and the FortiToken-
200B generates and displays a secure one-time password (OTP) that you enter
along with your regular password for secure authentication and access to
critical applications and sensitive data.
The time remaining is shown on a circular time in 10-second increments. After
the 60 seconds is up, the password expires and the FortiToken display turns
off.
Step 1. Unpacking

Step 2. Activating the FortiToken unit
Before you can successfully use the FortiToken-200B token generator, it must
be activated on the FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator system.
The following requirements must be met before you can do this:
-
The FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator unit system time must be configured to synchronize with a Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server. Note that with FortiOS, FortiToken identifiers must be entered into the FortiGate unit, which
then contacts FortiGuard servers to verify the information before activating them. -
FortiAuthenticator on the other hand acts as a repository for all FortiToken devices used on your network. It is
a single point of registration and synchronization for easier installation and maintenance -
The FortiGate or FortiAuthenticator unit must be able to access the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN).
To activate one or more FortiToken units with your FortiGate u
- Log in to the web-based manager of your FortiGate unit.
- Go to User > FortiToken > FortiToken. Select Create New. Then add the serial numbers for each FortiToken unit you have and select OK.
- Each FortiToken unit will automatically activate. The Status field will indicate Activating. Select Refresh, and you should see the Status field changed to Active.
- Select the check box for the activated FortiToken unit, then on the toolbar select Synchronization. The Synchronize FortiToken dialog box appears.
- Press the Start button of your FortiToken unit and enter the 6-digit token password in the First Code field. Wait until the FortiToken time expires, then press the Start button again to generate a second password and enter it into the Next Code field. Select OK.
To activate one or more FortiToken units with FortiToken Cloud (FTC).
