Type any additional information you need in the text fields.

To use port mapping, you must configure TCP/IP manually on the computer that is running the web, AppleShare, or FTP server.

You can also set up a computer as a default host to establish a permanent IP address for the computer and provide inbound port mapping information to the AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express. This is sometimes known as a DMZ and is useful when playing some network games or video conferencing.

To set up a default host:

1Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.

2Click the Internet button, and then click NAT.

3Select the “Enable Default Host at” checkbox. The default IP address is 10.0.1.253.

4Enter the same IP address on the host computer.

Logging

You can set up your wireless device to log status information to the Mac OS X system log or the Syslog application on a Windows computer. This is helpful for understanding problems and monitoring a device’s performance.

To set up logging:

1Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.

2Click the Advanced button, and then click Statistics.
