Chapter 5 Connect to a Wireless Network

Mac OS X (Wi-Fi)

Use Wi-Fi on a Mac to connect to the AirStation.

Note: In Mac OS X 10.6 and earlier, “Wi-Fi” appears as “AirPort”.

Refer to the Setup Card. Make a note of the
SSID and Key printed on the Setup Card.

Click the

icon in the top

section of the screen and select
[Turn Wi-Fi On].

Find the SSID from step 1 on the list.
Click it to highlight it.

Enter the KEY from step 1 into
the Password entry box, check
[Remember this network], and click
[OK].

It will take several seconds for configuration to complete.
