AirPort Network Designs
6
In the AirPort pane, enter a base station name and password, a name for your AirPort
network, and other information. (See the following sections for descriptions of the
fields in the AirPort pane.)
Naming the Base Station
Give the base station an easily identifiable name. This makes it easy for administrators
to locate a specific base station on an Ethernet network with multiple base stations.
The optional Contact and Location fields may also be helpful if you have more than
one base station on your network.
Changing the Base Station Password
The base station password protects the base station configuration so that only the
administrator can modify it. The default password is
public.
It is a good idea to change
the base station password to prevent unauthorized changes to the base station.
Naming the AirPort Wireless Network
Give your AirPort network a name. This name appears in the wireless connection icon
on the wireless-equipped computers that are in range of your AirPort network.
