Macintosh OS 9 AirPort Settings
If you are using the AirPort wireless connection, first verify the PCX5000 wireless link is turned on.
Refer to the “PCX5000 Wireless Configuration” page in this manual.
Step 1: Using the same procedure
described previously to set the Ethernet
TCP/IP configuration, navigate to the
TCP/IP (Setup Ethernet) panel and select
“AirPort” in the Connect via choice box.
Then select “Using DHCP Server” in the
Configure choice box. You will be
prompted to save the changes.
Step 2: At the Macintosh Desktop, double
click on the “Macintosh HD” icon, and
navigate to the “AirPort Setup Assistant”
icon located in the Applications/
Utilities/Assistants folder. Launch the
“AirPort Setup Assistant” application by
double clicking the icon. Select “Set up
your computer to join an existing AirPort
network”. Press the right arrow button to
continue.
The Setup Assistant will scan for nearby
802.11b wireless base stations. If the
PCX5000 is in range, it will respond with a
message announcing it has joined the
network.
If the AirPort Assistant cannot find a wireless
network, verify the Macintosh is in range of
the PCX5000 and that the PCX5000 has
had the wireless option turned on.
Step 3: If the AirPort Setup Assistant is
successful in finding the PCX5000 wireless
base station, it will display a panel stating,
“The AirPort Assistant is now ready to
configure your computer to access the
network “PCX5000”.” Press the “Go
Ahead” button to proceed.
Step 4: After several seconds, you will be
notified that the AirPort Assistant was
successful, and prompted to press the
“Connect Now” button. After pressing the
“Connect Now” button, your browser
should launch automatically.
Step 5: You should now be able to access
the Internet. You should immediately enable
wireless encryption. With a 10/100 Ethernet
connection, open location:
“http://192.168.100.1”. Proceed now to the
“PCX5000 Wireless Configuration”
section of this manual to set the wireless
security options.
