How to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?

how to use the "identify" feature in new 6.3.1 airport utility?
so you can find the basestations in larger networks?

There is a workaround, which is to use Airport Utility 5.6.
I can confirm that 5.6 will run on 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, it will recognize the new 2013 Airport Extreme Base Station (A1521) running firmware 7.7.1, and it will give you access to view the device's Log & Statistics, DHCP Clients, and Profiles.
Four caveats:
1) The easiest way to install it is to download the app itself, not an installer or through the App Store. There is a page here where you can download the app: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/03/08/airport-utility-5-6-on-os-x-v10-8-mountain-li on/ This way, you still have both versions, Airport Utility 6.x.x and 5.6.
2) When you launch 5.6, you'll get a message saying a newer version is available and asking if you want to update. Click Cancel to proceed into the utility.
3) When you click the Manual Setup button in 5.6, you'll get a warning dialog that "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device and might improperly configure the device if you continue to use it. Check www.apple.com/support/airport for the latest version of AirPort Utility." You can click Continue to get into the utility without issue.
4) You should probably only use 5.6 to view the additional status details. I have not tried to modify and save any AEBS settings using 5.6. There are other discussions here in the forums indicating that attempting to save settings via 5.6 that are no longer available in 6.3.1 will not actually save the settings to the AEBS even if both utilities indicate that the settings are changed. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22677993#22677993
So, even though you can't use it to modify settings no longer available in Airport Utility 6.3.1, using Airport Utility 5.6 to view DHCP clients, Logs and Statistics is very useful for troubleshooting network issues.
PS - There are two ways to get to the DHCP Clients list, neither of which is obvious The first is to go to the Airport pane -> Summary tab and click on the "Wireless Clients:" label in the Summary display. All of the labels from "Wireless Mode:" down on the Summary display operate as links to view/edit the corresponding info/settings, which is also not obvious at first glance. Also not obvious, clicking on "Wireless Clients:" actually brings up a new pane with three tabs: Logs, Wireless Clients, and DHCP Clients. You can also get to the same pane by going to the Advanced pane and clicking on the Logs and Statistics button.
I hope this is helpful information. Took me a while to find out how to do this.

  • How to use the keystroke feature of applescript?

    I am trying to use the keystroke feature of Applescript.
    On page 200 of "Mac OSX Panther edition The Missing Manual" shows the following example (to select all of a document):
    keystroke "a" using (command down)
    I tried to use this with keystroke "o" and got the message that "using" can't be used this way. Where can I find a few examples of how to use this feature in Applescript? I particularly want to use keystrokes to copy rulers in Appleworks. The keystrokes to do this are "shift-command-v".
    Thanks for comments.

    While I agree with Hiroto as to how to implement 'AppleWorks 6's 'Format, Rules, Copy Ruler' ('Command <shift> C) sub-menu item selection, below is an example of performing the same action using 'keystroke'.
    tell application "AppleWorks 6" to activate
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using command down & shift down

  • Urgently, how to use the EEWB to ad new field in the business partner page

    Hello All
    I am working on CRM 5.0 EEWB
    I am trying to add new field in the business partner page I followed the steps for creating the project and the extension but I faced some problems
    1-I chose the package BBP_BUPA_MAIN    BBP Business Partner General
    I created two transport requests for the workbench and the customizing
    2- I created an extension with EEW Bus. Object: BUPA and extension type: ADD_NEW_FIELDS
    3- I got an error that <b>"Object DOMA ZBU_009XN27S is in the name range reserved for customers. The object cannot be assigned to package BBP_BUPA_MAIN, since it belongs to a different name range or namespace"</b>
    I tried to change the package but the same problem occurs and if I choose a custom made business package I get a similar error but, before the wizard starts
    I want to know the exact steps to create new field using the EEWB
    Regards
    Jacopo Francois

    Hi,
    Error info: "Object DOMA ZBU_009XN27S is in the name range reserved for customers. The object cannot be assigned to package BBP_BUPA_MAIN, since it belongs to a different name range or namespace"
    Clearly states that you need to assign some different name to the package which is not reserved by SAP as Z### is already reserved by SAP and thus you will not be able to create the enhancement in the same.

  • How to use the transparent feature in Paint?

    How do I use the Transparent?  I thought it was to make a background disappear, like a dark background you don't want.
    How does one "select" the background and make it transparent?
    Win 8 and Paint.
    Thanks.

    Hi SHarenep,
    When selecting parts of an image, you can decide if you want the background color to be included in the selection or not. Simply check or uncheck the
    "Transparent selection" option. If you want the background included, uncheck the option and vice-versa.
    Best regards

  • HT1893 I just bought a MAC and can't figure out how to use the scan feature on my RX580 HP printer.  Can anyone tell me where to find this?  This used to be an option that was obvious under programs with my Dell.  Please someone help!

    I need some help!  I was able to download my HP printer software on to my Macbook Pro, but cannot find the Scan feature on the computer to be able to scan a document.  If someone could LMK what I need to do, or where I need to look to find this I would appreciate it!

    That would be a function of the driver that came with the printer. Make sure you have the latest driver appropriate to your system, either from HP or:

    I'm in an educational environment.  New student computers have ARD installed.  We don't want them to use the administration features of ARD but to be clients only.  How can I accomplish this?

    Unless you installed the ARD administration application on the computers yourselves, all they'll have is the client. The ARD admin app is not included with Macs; it must be purchased from the Mac App Store. If you did for some reason install the ARD admin app, just remove it.

    Does Acrobat 9 have the OCR feature?  If so, where do I find it?  In Acrobat 8, one would go to Document, OCR Text Recognition, Recognize Test Using OCR, OK.  I specifically want to know how to apply OCR to a scanned document in order to use the Find feature.

    Simple. go to DOCUMENT, and then select OCR TEXT RECOGNITION.

  • HT1688 I am trying to find answers about how to use the earphones that came with my new iPhone 4s. Does this work similarly as a Bluetooth or do I need to still buy one. The printing in the manual is SOOO small, it is too hard to read!

    Does anyone know how to use the earphones( plugs) that come with iPhones?
    Mine is still fairly new and I am just learning how to use certain things.

    They're pretty straightforward. You plug them into the headset jack (the hole on the top left of your phone). You put the buds in your ears. All sounds, except for the phone ringing will now come through the earbuds.

  • I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 All in One and to use the "Fax"feature I need a phone port on computer and of course, this computer does not have one.  Are there any aftermarket devices for USB to phone that would work in this case?

    I have a new iMac and want to use my HP 7300 "All in One and cannot use the fax feature because there is no phone port is there a solution for this?BACellli

    You don't need a phone port on the iMac. The HP 7300 DeskJet Pro has an internal modem, you connect the printer's modem connection directly to your phone line. Please re-read the install directions that came with the printer.

  • When i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these app and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID how i used the new one to update these apps thanks

    Hello all,
    when i update apps on my iphone they need the ID that i used when i downloaded these apps and i forgot this ID and a make a new ID
    How i used the new one to update these apps?
    thanks

    Your device can hold apps from multiple IDs, but to update them you have to swicth identities which is time consuming. If possible use only the one ID. If you need to reset the password for your old ID visit My Apple ID.
