Frequently Asked Questions - AIRPORT EXPRESS APPLE

How to configure AirPort Express to access the Internet?

Plug your DSL or cable modem into the Ethernet port of AirPort Express, then use the AirPort Express Assistant (in Applications/Utilities on Mac, or Applications folder on Windows XP) to create a new network and enter your Internet service provider (ISP) settings. Wireless computers will then be able to share the connection.

How to stream music from iTunes to a stereo system using AirTunes?

Connect AirPort Express to your stereo system using a stereo mini-jack to RCA cable (analog) or a Toslink cable (digital). Use the AirPort Express Assistant to configure the network. Then, in iTunes 4.6 or later, select the AirPort Express speaker from the pop-up menu at the bottom right of the window.

How to share a USB printer connected to AirPort Express?

Plug the USB printer into the USB port of AirPort Express. Use the Assistant to create or join a network. On Mac OS X 10.3+, open Printer Setup, click Add, and select the printer via Rendezvous. On Windows XP/2000, add a local printer with a standard TCP/IP port and IP address 10.0.1.1 (or modified one).

How to extend the range of an existing AirPort network with AirPort Express?

Make sure you have a main AirPort Extreme or Express network connected to the Internet. Use the AirPort Express Assistant to join that network and extend it via WDS (Wireless Distribution System). Note that WDS is not compatible with WPA Personal or Enterprise security; use WEP 128-bit or Disabled.

What to do if the AirPort Express Assistant does not detect the hardware?

Check that your computer has an AirPort or AirPort Extreme card (or a compatible 802.11b/g wireless adapter). Make sure the card is properly installed and the antenna is connected. Restart the computer and try again. On Windows, check the wireless adapter driver.

How to reset AirPort Express to factory settings?

Use a paperclip to press and hold the reset button (near the ports) for 5 seconds. The device restarts with default settings: IP address via DHCP, network name 'Apple Network XXXXXX', password 'public'. Saved profiles are retained unless you hold the button while connecting power.

I forgot my network or AirPort Express password. How to recover it?

Perform a quick reset by pressing the reset button for 1 second. Then, from the AirPort Admin Utility, select your base station and click Configure. You can then set a new network password and a new AirPort Express password.

Why don't I hear music despite streaming from iTunes?

Check that the iTunes volume is not at minimum and that the remote speaker is selected in the pop-up menu. Make sure the audio cables are properly connected and AirPort Express is powered on. If the option 'Disable volume control for remote speakers' is checked in iTunes preferences, the volume may be fixed.

My USB printer connected to AirPort Express is not responding. What to do?

Check that the printer is on and the USB cable is properly connected. On a Mac, open Printer Setup and add the printer via Rendezvous. On Windows, add a local printer with a standard TCP/IP port (IP address 10.0.1.1). Make sure printer sharing is enabled on the network.

Where is the serial number of AirPort Express?

The serial number is printed on the back of the device. It may be needed for registration or technical support. Also check the label on the bottom of the case which contains the AirPort ID (wireless MAC address) and Ethernet address (MAC address).

These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.

If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:

• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)

If necessary, consult an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple. See the service and support information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/ television technician for additional suggestions.

Important: Changes or modifications to this product not authorized by Apple Computer, Inc. could void the EMC compliance and negate your authority to operate the product.
