Managing Fortigate with dynamic public ip?

I' ve got Fortigate with public IP connected to Fortimanager, everything is ok, but my question is: What will happend if someday IP address of my Fortigate changed. Will it tried to connect to fortimanager and update ip addres? If so on which port?

FortiManager<>FortiGate uses a tcp/541 Protocol to communicate. Also FortiGate tries to reach it' s Fortimanager. So putting a remotely managed FortiGate behind - a NAT Device - with or without dynamic IPs (eg DSL Line) After an IP-Addr change they will bring up their new Connection again and the Remote Box is manageable again. -R.
