Air port 'not configured'

Why does my airport give the 'not configured' status when i did not touch it? The previous day it was ok but suddenly it became like that. i cant seem to do anything and the troubleshooter dosent help. how do i 'configure' it? HELP!

Life is getting more complicated to do support..
You need to tell us what version airport.. extreme or express and the model number. A1xxx from the label.
You need to tell us OS.. if the profile which says 10.6.8 is wrong.. as that is confusing.
The new AC version Extreme needs 6.3 version airport utility which is only available for Lion or mountain Lion.
You might also need to turn on ipv6 local-link to get it to show in the utility.

  • Measurement Computing USB-SSR24 error 42 Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation

    Using LV 2012 and ULx 2.02 LV driver:
    LV is throwing an error 42 (Digital Port not configured correctly for requested operation) from the ULx write VI but only on PortCH.  All my configurations are correct on the hardware and Instacal tests the ports OK.  I've reinstalled everything and still see the same issue.
    Since PortA is configured identical to PortCH, and PortA is functioning fine, I'm stumped.  This is occuring on two different SSR24 DAQs so I don't think it's the hardware, plus I've already mentioned that the Instacal isn't having a problem with it.
    I've attached my VI I'm using for debug.

    I worked with Measurement Computing and they agreed that there is a bug with certain DI/DO configurations.  There are a possible 16 different DI/DO configurations with the hardware and apparently mine (PortA - DO, PortB- DI, PortCL-DI, and PortCH-DO will throw this error for PortCH.  I'm currently using .net calls to work around the issue until the ULx driver is updated.  I'll post that when I see it.  Attached are the .net VI's that I'm using for simple static IO.

  • Air Port Express Configuration

    Hi   I am sure that this is a dumb question but hopefully someone will be able to assist me.
    At my home I have three Air Port Express adaptors  - one as a base station, the others as repeaters to extend the range of the signal.  These have been configured to use the IP range 10.0.0.x and have been working OK.    The base station adaptor is both connected via a ethernet cable to my ADSL router, and is set to manage DHCP.
    Over the weekend I have occasion to look at the settings for my ADSL router, I am about to repace it and wanted to get all the settings for the new router. 
    I noticed that I have, as expected a dedicated IP address from my ISP, but that the internal IP range of the ADSL router was set to 192.168.0.x range. 
    Surely this is wrong, and it should be set to the same range as my Air Port Express units shouldn't it, and if so I am not quite sure how the network has worked all this time.
    Many thanks for any assistance

    I noticed that I have, as expected a dedicated IP address from my ISP, but that the internal IP range of the ADSL router was set to 192.168.0.x range.
    Surely this is wrong, and it should be set to the same range as my Air Port Express units shouldn't it, and if so I am not quite sure how the network has worked all this time.
    In your current network configuration, you have two routers in series, each with their DHCP server service enabled. Most non-Apple routers typically provide DHCP clients with IP addresses in the 192.168.n.n range and is exactly what your current ADSL router is doing.
    Since you have the first AirPort Express Base Station (AX) directly connected to this ADSL router, it will receive an IP address on its WAN port in this 192.1689.n.n range, but since it too has DHCP server service active, any wireless clients connected to it would receive IP address in the 10.0.n.n range.
    You would also have a "double NAT" condition. In itself this is not necessarily a bad thing, but does tend to introduce other issues, especially if you wish to share resources between clients connected to either router. In most cases, where you have routers in series, you would want to reconfigure the downstream router as a bridge.

  • 6248 connected to 3750 yet ports not configured as trunkport

                       I've setup a 2 5108's with 6248 Fabrics and my ethernet uplinks are going to a 3750x. I'm not proficient with all that comes with switching but I manage to get my systems up and running effectively. After installing my esxi's on the systems I noticed that all of them were getting DHCP addressed from my network yet although I enabled my uplinks and configured them as 1gb I hadn't move the patch cables to the uplink ports on the 3750 configured as Trunk ports. Now in the past this was a show stopper. Am I missing something here. And lastly, I intend to aggregate some links with Port Channeling which is easy enough on the UCS but a note states the upstream switch needs to be configured as LACP.
    In short:
    1.) Do i need to configure my ports on the 3750 as Trunk dot1q or has something changed and it's auto-sensing
    2.) To do the Port Channel does it require Trunk or Switch and is it absolute that I configure LACP on the upstream 3750.
    Thanks

    I understand Trunking, a little however, when it comes to the UCS fabrics I have never been able to configure the upstream switch with anything other than Trunk Mode where I connect my ethenet uplink ports. Yet using a newer 3750x it is running without trunkports where my uplinks are connected. This is not normal. My test....I moved the patch cables to the configured Trunk Ports on the upstream 3750 and it stopped working, moved them back to the switchports and it started working. Next to this system is another with an earlier model 3750, (sorry I'm missing the specifics) and this will not work with the switctport mode, yet when plugged into the trunk ports of the upstream 3750 it works fine. As for Vlan's I have one other than Vlan 1 which is always the way I've configured these. I've configured about 15 sets of fabrics and only this one is acting this way.
    As for the Port Channel configuration thanks. I'm assuming that even in trunk mode I can set LACP.

  • Air Port not working any more

    I routinely connect and disconnect my iBook G4 from my cable modem. With each transition it takes a few seconds for the machine to reconfigure how it is accessing the internet, but then everything is fine.
    Well, for whatever reason I cannot figure out, now when I disconnect my computer I'm unable to aquire a wireless signal.
    I have a Linksys router hooked up, and it is working, but for some reason my Air Port isn't reading it anymore.
    I try checking the network settings, but it still doesn't fix it.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you,
    Jon
    PS - Please let me know if there are any other details about my set-up that you need to know to help figure out my problem. Somehow I'm sure this will boil down to "User error", but I just don't know where I'm going wrong. I'm not doing anything different than I have before.

    This will be a funny question, but it's better to ask. After you disconnected your iBook from cable modem, did you plug the ethernet cable to your router? I believed it's also a good practice to completely turn off your cable modem and your router while swapping/plugging the ethernet cable from your modem to your router.

  • Air port not connecting

    I have a linksys wireless internet connector for three macbooks. the first two connect well but when i try to connect to the wifi, an ! symbol appears. the internet worked before on this computer

    On the affect Mac reset the Airport connections. First turn off the Airport card then open System Preferences->Network pane . In there delete your Airport icon and don't panic because if you follow the directions it will be back. Then you must reboot your Mac immediately after deleting the Airport card.
    Upon the reboot do nothing else but go back in System Preferences->Network pane. In there hit the + button and add the Airport connection again. Don't try to use the Airport card yet!Then you must reboot again!
    After this last reboot do the Reset Pram procedure! Then at last you can go into the System Preferences->Network pane and then move the Airport icon to the top of the left hand pane. Then in the Airport card pane turn the Airport card on and configure it for you wireless network.
    Hopefully doing this procedure will help reset your Airport card. Please report back if this helps or not, Good Luck.

  • Air port not working

    Hello,
    I have a problem with connecting to wireless internet.
    I have an airport Extreme card.
    My computer usually recognises a wireless connection for about 10 min then disconnect, then sometimes finds it again for even shorter period of time.
    It isn't about the network as I've tried it on different network and other mac user could connect to those.
    Can anyone help me locate where the problem come from?
    Do I need to change my airport card?
    Thank you for your help,
    Fanny

  • Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet.

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Pro here. I am trying to connect it with my NAS hard drive. But i could not connect to it because i have an ethernet which connects to the intranet in my company and Air Port for the internet and it could not detect the the ip address after i input the correct address on "Connect to Server" window. Please help! Urgent! Thanks

    I did not say it is not possible.
    I said if your company networks are monopolizing both ports, you should talk to them about what options are available.
    Maybe you can get the company Intranet over wireless if you change some configuration items such as Subnet Mask.
    Maybe you can get on the Internet over Ethernet.
    You really need to ask them, and do not let them blow you off because you have a Mac. If they balk, ask them how it would be done on a PC (becasue it will be the same on a Mac).

  • Air port express not found by my mac

    Hallo all, I want to extend my wlan, therefore I want to install an additional air port. I have already a time capuse with air port. Now my question:
    Do I neet to connect the new air port with a wire? I thougt the connection is wireless? Unitl now the new air port is not found by my mac within the utility air port program. Why? Please help! Thank you, Kailash

    To help facilitate setting up your extended network, I would recommend the following:
    Perforrm a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express base station.
    Temporarily connect the Express to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable between them.
    Once you have configured the extended network, you can now disconnect the Express from the TC and place it at the desired location.

  • Airport Utility can not find air port extreme base station

    I am running XP home on my computer and have an air port extreme base station connected to it wired. I have no problem connecting to the internet yet more times then not the air port utility can not find the base station. On occasion it will find it but most of the time it can not. Rebooting does not help.

    I recently purchased one of the new Airport Extreme base stations and after carefully reading the instructions; I first installed the Airport Utility 5.5 that came on the CD onto my MacbookPro. I then connected the new base station to my macbookpro via Ethernet and power it up. I copied a previously saved configuration onto it. All my printers, IMAC and macbookpro were able to connect.
    I then used my older base station and my airport express to extend the N and G networks through the house. My problem was (1) the new Airport utility would consistently lose the older extreme base station and the airport express, (2) An my HP printers keep losing the wireless connection to the new airport extreme base station. The only resolve was to consistently restart the new base station, after which (1) the new airport utility would see the older base station and express again and (2) the wireless connection to the printers would be restored.
    After about a week of this, I removed the new Airport Extreme and replaced it with the older extreme (802.11N DRAFT) and de-installed the Airport Utility 5.5 and re-installed Airport Utility 5.4.2 and everything works fine.
    Has anyone else experienced any problems with the newly released Airport Extreme (fully 802.11N) base stations and Airport Utility 5.5?

  • Just did firm ware update on time capsule an now my airport express not connected do to air port utilities doesn't support base station ??

    I have been experiencing some networking problems
    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    I have the latest Time Capsule ("TC"), an old Airport Extreme Base Station ("AEBS") bought in 2007 and 2 Airport Expresses, one bought in 3 months ago ("AE-Alpha") and the other bought back in 2007 ("AE-Beta"). All of them have been updated with the latest firmware.
    Based on those dates, the AirPort Extreme is probably flat (as opposed to dome-shaped), making it 802.11n-capable. The Newer AirPort Express is probably an 802.11n-capable model A1264, while the older one is probably a model A1084 or A1088.
    I use {the TC's} DHCP function ... to avoid unauthorized use.
    This a discussion for another thread, but that's not what DHCP is for.
    The wireless setting for it is to participate as WDS Main, but after reading various posts, it seems WDS is a bad idea
    With that older AirPort Express you're stuck with WDS unless you decide to replace it with a newer model.
    The AEBS is currently setup as being a WDS Relay at the moment
    Why a relay? That's only needed if there's another base station "beyond" it that is configured to depend on it.
    Since the AEBS is connected to the TC via Ethernet, you should probably configure it as a "roaming network":
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2273124
    {The AE-Alpha} connects fine as WDS remote at the moment
    I don't have any experience with mixed WDS and non-WDS networks, but since it's 802.11n-capable, you may be able to configure it to "extend" the network of the TC rather than as WDS. Look for a setting on the TC to "Allow this network to be extended".
    Physical location:
    AEBS in one end, TC and AE-Alpha in the middle while AE-Beta on the other end.
    A device such as "AE-Beta" that's supposed to extend a network shouldn't be "at the end" but should be half way between the central base station and the clients that need an extended network.

  • MacBook not showing external hard drive connected to Air Port Extreme

    I have a MacBook 5.2 running Mac OS X Version 10.5.7. I am running a wireless network Air Port Extreme router Version 7.4.2. I have connected a 1 TB Western Digital 10EAVS External hard drive and a printer to the Air Port Extreme router via a USB 2 hub. My MacBook sees and I am able to utilize the printer, but the Western Digital 1 TB External drive does not show up. I can see the 1 TB External drive via the Air Port Application setup, but it is not showing up on my desktop or in Utilities/Disk Utilities. I have connected the External drive directly to the USB port on my MacBook, and the drive showed up on my desktop instantly. I partitioned the External drive into two partitions and ran Time Machine which successfully backed up my MacBook. I then disconnected the External hard drive from my MacBook and reconnected it to another USB port in the hub connected to the Air Port Extreme. Once again, my MacBook does not see the External hard drive. I can see the External hard drive via the Air Port Extreme application right down to the two individual partitions. I even removed the USB hub and plugged the External hard drive directly into the Air Port Extreme router, but my MacBook still did not see the hard drive. I've restored version 7.4 and 7.4.1 on the Air Port Extreme, but it did not help. Does anyone have any insight what settings might need to be changed on my MacBook to allow it to connect to the External hard drive while it is plugged into the Air Port Extreme wireless router?

    Do you have an older "dome" style AEBS or the rectangular model? The former will not work with TM. Early versions of the former may not work until you enable them to see a TM drive by doing the following:
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command and press RETURN:
    defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
    The drive should now be accessible via TM.
