Introduction to AirPort
The AirPort Extreme Base Station has the following ports:
10/100Base-T Ethernet WAN (
) port for connecting a DSL or cable modem, or for
connecting to an existing Ethernet network with Internet access
10/100Base-T Ethernet LAN (
G
) port for high-speed connection to local printers and
Ethernet computers that don’t have Internet access
USB port (
) for connecting a printer to the base station
Some models of the base station also have a built-in 56K modem port (
W
) for dial-up
Internet access with a standard telephone line.
Some models of the base station can also receive power over Ethernet (PoE). When the
base station Ethernet WAN port is connected to IEEE 802.3af-compliant Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE), such as a line-powered Ethernet switch or hub, with a CAT 5 Ethernet
cable, it receives power over the Ethernet cable.
