Setting Up AirPort Express
Setting Advanced Options
To set advanced options, use AirPort Admin Utility.
You can use AirPort Admin Utility to configure advanced base station settings, such as
advanced security options, closed networks, DHCP lease time, access control, WAN
privacy, power controls, renaming a USB printer, setting up port mapping, and more.
To set advanced options:
1
Choose the wireless network you want to change. On a Macintosh, use the AirPort
status menu in the menu bar. On a computer using Windows XP or Windows 2000,
hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your AirPort network
name (SSID), and choose it from the list if there are multiple networks available.
2
Open AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities on a Macintosh, and in
Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows XP or Windows 2000.
3
If there is more than one base station in the list, select the base station you want to
configure. If you don’t see the base station you want to configure, click Rescan to scan
for available base stations, then select the base station.
4
If you are prompted for a password, enter it, then click Configure.
For more information and instructions for using AirPort Admin Utility, see the
document “Designing AirPort Networks” or “AirPort Networks for Windows,” located on
your AirPort Express CD and at www.apple.com/airport.
