Configuring the Base Station
Typically, when you run the Setup Wizard, you establish the settings
required for your base station to connect to the Internet. If you
completed the Setup Wizard, you only need to use the Base Station
Management Tool when you want to modify your network settings.
You must use the Base Station Management Tool to establish the
initial settings if any of the following are true:
• You did not run the Setup Wizard when you connected your
network hardware and installed the network software.
• You are trying to configure the base station from a computer
running Microsoft Windows
running Windows (for example, a Macintosh).
• You want to set the base station to bridging mode to extend the
capabilities of an existing network.
If any of these situations apply to you, you must initially configure
the base station from the Base Station Management Tool.
