Setup Overview
Once you’re ready, you can set up the AirPort Extreme Base Station in a few steps:
1
Plug the AirPort Extreme Base Station in to a power outlet and connect it to your
Internet networking interface.
2
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant on a Macintosh, or use AirPort Admin Utility on a
Windows XP or Windows 2000 computer.
Step 1: Connect the AirPort Extreme Base Station
1
Connect the power adapter to the AirPort Extreme Base Station power adapter port
and an electrical outlet.
Important:
Use only the power adapter that came with your AirPort Extreme Base
Station. Adapters for other electronic devices may look similar, but they may damage
the base station.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station turns on when the power adapter is plugged into an
electrical outlet. There is no power switch.
When you plug in the base station, the status lights glow while the base station starts
up. Only the middle light glows when startup is complete. The startup process takes
about 30 seconds. See “Monitoring AirPort Extreme Base Station Communication” on
page 17 for a complete explanation of the lights on the AirPort Extreme Base Station.
2
Connect the AirPort Extreme Base Station to your DSL or cable modem, Ethernet
network, or, if your base station has an internal modem, a standard phone line.
•
If you have an Internet account that uses a device such as a DSL or cable modem,
connect the device to the 10/100Base-T Ethernet WAN ( ) port on the AirPort
Extreme Base Station.
•
If you use an Ethernet LAN for Internet access, such as in a school or office, connect
the Ethernet cable to the 10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN (
G
) port on the AirPort
Extreme Base Station.
•
If you use a standard modem and analog telephone line (the type of telephone line
found in most residences) to access the Internet, connect one end of the phone cord
to the internal modem (
W
) port and the other end to your telephone jack.
Important:
Do not connect the base station to a digital telephone line, such as a PBX
telephone system.
