Apple AirPort Express - Manual (Page 27)

Setting Up AirPort Express 27
You can use AirTunes to play music from iTunes and share a USB printer in any type of
network you set up, whether it is a new network or you are joining an existing network.
If you have more than one AirPort Express, you can connect one to the stereo in your
living room and connect another to the powered speakers in your den. Using AirTunes,
you can stream your iTunes music to either AirPort Express, depending on where you
are in your house. Choose the name of the AirPort Express you want to use from the
speakers pop-up menu in iTunes.
This chapter provides an overview for using the AirPort Express Assistant to set up your
network and other features of your AirPort Express. For more detailed wireless
networking information, and for information about the advanced features of AirPort,
refer to the document “Designing AirPort Networks,” or “AirPort Networks for Windows,”
located on the AirPort Express CD, and at www.apple.com/airportextreme.
You can do most of your network setup and configuration tasks with the AirPort Setup
Assistant for Mac OS X and the AirPort Express Assistant for Windows XP. To set
advanced options, you need to use AirPort Admin Utility. See “Setting Advanced
Options” on page 32.
Note: If you are using Windows 2000, use AirPort Admin Utility for Windows to
set up your AirPort Express. The AirPort Express Assistant is not compatible with
Windows 2000.
Using the AirPort Setup Assistant or the AirPort Express Assistant
To set up and configure your AirPort Express to use AirPort for wireless networking
and Internet access, use the AirPort Setup Assistant for Mac OS X, or the AirPort Express
Assistant for Windows XP. (The assistant is installed on your computer when you install
the software on the AirPort Express CD.)
