About AirPort
AirPort technology offers an easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet access
anywhere in your home or classroom. Instead of using traditional cabling to create a network,
AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide communication between
multiple computers.
3
How AirPort Works
In a traditional network, computers are connected through a series of wires that transfer
information between the different computers on the network. With AirPort, data is transferred
between computers using radio waves, creating a “wireless network.”
There are two ways to create a wireless network. You can use a device known as a “base
station.” In this kind of network, all wireless communication goes through the base station to
other computers on the network or to the Internet. In addition, when two or more AirPortequipped computers are in range of each other, they can use AirPort to communicate directly.
This connection is known as a “computer-to-computer” AirPort connection.
How the Apple AirPort Base Station Works
The AirPort Base Station uses a wireless radio card to create an AirPort network that other
computers can use to access the Internet. There are two ways that you can use the AirPort
Base Station to provide Internet access:
m Connect the AirPort Base Station to an existing network that already has Internet access.
m Connect a telephone line, cable modem, or DSL modem to the AirPort Base Station.
When any computer on the AirPort network uses an application that requires a connection to
the Internet, such as a Web browser or e-mail program, the AirPort Base Station automatically
establishes the connection to the Internet and provides it to all of the computers on the
network.
Note: To use AirPort to access the Internet, you must have an Internet account with an
Internet service provider (ISP). In addition, you need to have a traditional way to access the
Internet, either through a phone line, cable, or DSL modem.

Setting Up Your AirPort Base Station
Follow the steps in this section to set up your AirPort Base Station.
Step 1: Determining Where to Place Your AirPort Base Station
You can place your AirPort Base Station on a desk, bookcase, or other flat surface, or you can
mount it on a wall. For optimal performance, place your AirPort Base Station in the center of
your home in a location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal
wall or microwave oven. This location must be close to a power and phone outlet (or network
connection).
For more information on sources of interference and deciding where to place an AirPort Base
Station, open the Help menu and choose Mac Help, then search for “base station placement”
or “AirPort interference.”
Placing the AirPort Base Station on a Desk or Bookcase
An ideal location for the AirPort Base Station is on a desk or bookcase near a power and phone
outlet (or network connection).
If you are going to place the AirPort Base Station on a desk or bookcase or another location
that does not require it be mounted on a wall, skip ahead to “Step 2: Plugging In the Base
Station” on page 8.

Using the AirPort Base Station Mounting Bracket
You can use the mounting bracket provided with your AirPort Base Station to mount it on a
wall.
To mount the AirPort Base Station on a wall, follow these steps:
1 Select a location close to a power and phone outlet (or network connection).
2 Screw the mounting bracket into a wall stud using the two number 8 screws that came with the
base station.

telephone line (the type of telephone line found in most residences).
Note: If you have an Internet account that uses a device such as a cable or DSL modem,
connect the device to the Ethernet port on the AirPort Base Station (the same way it was
connected to your computer) instead of the internal modem port.
8
Step 3: Configuring the AirPort Base Station
Depending on when you purchased your computer, all the necessary AirPort software may
already be installed on your computer. To see if the software is installed, open the Assistants
folder on your hard disk and look for the AirPort Setup Assistant.
Note: If the AirPort Setup Assistant is not in the Assistants folder, you need to install the
AirPort software using the CD that came with the base station.
m To set up your AirPort Base Station, double-click the AirPort Setup Assistant.
The assistant guides you through the process of setting up your AirPort network and
transferring your existing Internet settings from your computer to the AirPort Base Station.
Once you’ve set up the AirPort Base Station, you can configure any AirPort-equipped computer
to access the wireless network you just created by choosing the “Join an existing network”
option. For information on configuring non-AirPort-equipped computers to use the AirPort
Base Station, see “Using the Base Station With Non-AirPort-Equipped Computers” on page 12.
Step 4: Accessing the AirPort Network
You use the AirPort application, available in the Apple (K) menu, to connect to a wireless
network created by the AirPort Base Station.
To connect to the network, you need to know the network password that you chose when you
set up the AirPort Base Station. You can also use the Control Strip to access networks and
monitor the signal strength of the currently selected network.

Step 5: Accessing the Internet
To access the Internet using your AirPort Base Station, simply open and use an application that
requires an Internet connection, such as your e-mail program or Web browser. The AirPort
Base Station automatically establishes an Internet connection when it is needed by any of the
computers on the network.
Note: The speed at which you can access information on your network depends on where
you are accessing the information from. The transfer rate between the base station and
computers on the network is up to 11 megabits per second (Mbps). However, information
from the Internet can only be transferred as fast as the AirPort Base Station modem (or other
external modem) can communicate.
Step 6: Disconnecting From the Internet
The AirPort Base Station automatically disconnects from the Internet after 10 minutes of
inactivity. You can adjust this time using the AirPort Utility, located in the AirPort folder inside
the Apple Extras folder.
To manually disconnect from the Internet, follow these steps:

computer with an Ethernet port (using an Ethernet crossover cable) or attach it to an existing
network of Macintosh computers (using an Ethernet hub).
Computers connected to the AirPort Base Station over an Ethernet connection can share the
single Internet connection provided by the AirPort Base Station.
Note: You do not need to install the AirPort software on a computer connected to the AirPort
Base Station via Ethernet.
12
To configure a non-AirPort-equipped computer to be part of the AirPort network, do this:
1 Connect a cable from the Ethernet port on the computer to the Ethernet port on the AirPort
Base Station.
Note: If you have only one computer, connect it to the base station using an Ethernet
crossover cable. If you have multiple computers, you can connect the computers to an
Ethernet hub and connect the hub to the AirPort Base Station. Ethernet hubs and crossover
