Chapter 3 Setting Up Your AirPort Express 27
Setting Advanced Options
To set advanced options, you can use AirPort Utility to set up your AirPort Express
manually. You can configure advanced base station settings, such as advanced security
options, closed networks, DHCP lease time, access control, power controls, setting up
user accounts, and more.
To set advanced options or make changes to a network you’ve already set up:
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, hold the pointer over the wireless connection icon until you see your
AirPort network name (SSID), and then choose it from the list if there are multiple
networks available.
The default network name for an Apple base station is AirPortNetwork XXXXXX, where
XXXXXX is replaced with the last six digits of the AirPort ID, also know as the Media
Access Control or MAC address. The AirPort ID is printed on the electrical-plug side of
the AirPort Express.
2 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a
Macintosh, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows XP.
3 If there is more than one base station in the list, select the base station you want to
change. If you don’t see the base station you want to configure, click Rescan to scan for
available base stations, and then select the base station you want.
4 Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. If you are prompted for a password,
enter it.
