Step 1: Set up the AirPort network

The ﬁrst step in conﬁguring your base station is setting up the AirPort network it will create.

You can set up most AirPort networks using the AirPort Setup Assistant. Open the setup

assistant, located in Applications/Utilities. Follow the onscreen instructions and enter the

information from your ISP.

To conﬁgure a network manually or set advanced options, open your base station’s

conﬁguration in AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities. Enter the information

in the AirPort pane.

Naming the Base Station

Give the base station an easily identiﬁable name. This makes it easy for administrators

to locate a speciﬁc base station on an Ethernet network with multiple base stations. The

optional Contact and Location ﬁelds may also be helpful if you have more than one

base station on your network.

Changing the Base Station Password

The base station password protects the base station conﬁguration so that only the

administrator can modify it. The default password is public.
