30 Setting Up AirPort Express
Configuring and Sharing Internet Access
If you plan to share your Internet connection with computers on your network, you
need to set up your AirPort Express as an AirPort base station. Once it is set up,
computers access the Internet via the AirPort network. The base station connects to the
Internet and transmits information to the computers over the AirPort network.
Before you use the AirPort Setup Assistant or AirPort Express Assistant to set up your
base station, connect your DSL or cable modem to the AirPort Express Ethernet port
(G). If you are using an existing Ethernet network with Internet access to connect to
the Internet, you can connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet network instead. If
you plan to use AirTunes to play music on your stereo from iTunes, connect an audio
cable to the analog and optical digital audio mini-jack (-) and to your stereo.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant or AirPort Express Assistant to enter your ISP settings
and provide and configure how AirPort Express shares the settings with other
computers.
n Open the AirPort Setup Assistant, located in Applications/Utilities on a Macintosh, or
the AirPort Express Assistant, located in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer
using Windows XP. Follow the onscreen instructions to configure and share Internet
access on your AirPort Express.
