Need AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow

hey there.....any help would be greatly appreciated.....
I ave passed along my graphite base station to my brother in law for his new iMac and it seems he needs the "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" to get it set up. The new "Airport Utility" doesn't seem to recognize it. Is the utility still available for download? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Another option....is it possible to copy and paste the utility into my iDisk and have him download it from there?? Not sure it that will work??
Again...many thanks for any help anyone can offer!!!!!

AirPort Admin Utility, version 4.2, which works with Graphite and Snow base stations, can be found within the download of AirPort 4.2 (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airport42formacosx1033.html).
I tried it on my MacBook running Mac OS X 10.4.10, with a Graphite base station, and it works fine, so far as I can tell.
I did not actually try to install AirPort 4.2 using the installer, because I was afraid of messing with my system when all I wanted was the utility. Here is how to get it:
- Download the disk image AirPortSW42.dmg from the Web page mentioned above. If the installer launches, quit the installer.
- Double-click the disk image to mount a volume named "AirPort 4.2 Update."
- Within the AirPort 4.2 Update window, ctrl-click on "AirPortSW.pkg."
- Select "Show Package Contents."
- Open the "Contents" folder.
- Double-click the "Archive.pax.gz" file, which causes an "Archive.pax" file and an "Archive" folder to be extracted to the desktop.
- Open the "Archive" folder, the "Applications" folder within it, and the "Utilities" folder within that.
- The AirPort Admin Utility is there. You can move it to Applications/Utilities and discard everything else that was downloaded.
Thanks to Tesserax (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5136389&#5136389) for recently explaining how to extract an AirPort utility from a download package.
Although I have never seen "AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow," it probably was the same thing as AirPort Admin Utility, just renamed.

How can I get AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 to work with OS10.6?

I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS and now AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 won't run. Any suggestions on how to either run this utility or otherwise get access to my old Snow Dual Airport via another method? Airport Utility doesn't see the device, despite repeated scans. My computer and iPad connect no problem to the device, but both iPod and iPhone won't take and hold an IP address. (If any one can help me solve this issue, I can live without access the Airport.)
Thanks,

Unfortunately, you will need another Mac running a much earlier version of OS X to be able to install AirPort Admin Utility and make any settings chances to the router.
Since the normal life of a wireless router is around 5-6 years of use, now might be the time to consider a new router that will provide far better performance than the older Graphite/Snow AirPort.

"problem reading configuration" Bug in Admin for Graphite and Snow

Background: Bought a used "graphite" (M5757 SN PW9495EYH93) for a friend with only dial-up access. Downloaded Airport Admin for Graphite and Snow. System seemed to be operating fine - I could see it on WiFi and even connect. Of course I was missing some passwords, so I needed to get it back to default settings by doing a hard reset-"perform a local reload". Support article HT2439 provided instructions: I plugged in a wired connection.
But "Auto" address selection didn't seem to work - I kept getting "problem reading configuration" messages.
So I tried "Manual" for entering IP address and password.
OOPS! When selecting "manual" for setting the IP address, the IP address triplets entered were reversed when saved in the device. Or at least they display reversed in AirPort Admin, while other nearby AirPort addresses display correctly.
For instance, when I set the device to the Apple default address of 192.42.249.13, the address displayed in AirPort Admin was 13.249.42.192. This was reliably repeatable, and worked around by entering the desired triplets in reverse order. Once I inverted the triplets and got the IP address I expected into the AirPort, configuration proceeded smoothly.
This bug can lead to frustration finding and reconfiguring AirPort devices, communicating over ethernet (since of course the network address and subnet masks work perfectly, but not as expected) and displaying/changing configurations. I didn't spend more time investigating the boundaries of the problem after finding the work-around and getting this particular AirPort working, but the problem might be the cause of some of the other configuration issues that seem to crop up regularly.

Hello Dudlington. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" seems to be at version 4.2.5 for OS X and was released in April 2008, yet only supports the "dual ethernet" versions.
Not to worry, the "Dual Ethernet" and "Snow" actually refer to the same model. The 802.11b Snow is the predecessor to the 802.11b/g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) and followed the "Graphite."

AAU for graphite and snow can't find base station

I've always been able to find an answer on the discussion lists before, but I don't see where anyone has posted about quite this same problem:
I have a dual-ethernet (aka snow) airport that I'm using with a new model MacBook Pro. I'm using the Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow (AAU for G&S) to manage the airport, and all had been working well until the past couple of days. I was having signal problems with the MacBook Pro but not with my old ibook G3. IStumbler showed more people in my apartment building were using the channel I had set so I thought I'd switch in case that was the problem. AAU for G&S on the MacBook Pro couldn't recognize the base station but the old AAU on the G3 ibook did so I changed my channel and the signal must have improved enough for the MacBook Pro since I was then able to connect to the Internet with the MacBook. But I still couldn't find the base station with the AAU for G&S.
I did a hard reset (or the equivalent) per support doc "Resetting the AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet)" and tried to reload the software per another support doc "AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet) : How to reload software from Mac OS X". When I hooked the MacBook Pro up to the airport by ethernet, I still couldn't find the airport in the AAU for G&S. And now after the reset, I can't see it anymore on the old utility on the G3 ibook.
While the MacBook Pro was hooked up to the airport by ethernet, I was able to connect to the Internet that way, and I'm wirelessly connected to the airport right now (which is hooked up to my cable modem). But if I need to change my channel again or do something else to the base station, I'm stuck--the AAU for G&S can't find it.
Is anyone else still trying to hold on to their Snow airport and either run into or solved this kind of problem? Very grateful for any assistance!

Thanks to everyone who read my question, but I seem to have found a solution to this which only goes to show if you mess around enough ... Anyway when my AAU for G&S couldn't find the base station by scanning, I had tried using the "Other" option and entering the IP address that I saw in the Network Preferences Advanced window. That didn't work, but this morning I notice that there was another IP address, slightly different for Router. Since my Airport Snow is functioning as my router to my cable modem, I tried that IP address and voila, I can bring up the settings on my base station and reconfigure them. I've done this several times successfully so far. Of course I now may have to get rid of the old Airport since the network interference in my apartment building is now getting ridiculous, and I'm hoping the the newer Airport Extreme will help me to find a wireless space that will work consistently without dropouts.

Where is airport admin utility for lion

There does not seem to be an airport admin utility for airport extreme, I only have the airport utililty that doesn't seem to allow any setup changes. It also does not give options for set up changes when there is no green light for the base station.

Hi - to get the full featured Airport Utility 5.6 for Lion, go to the following link for the download - you can keep 6.1 and 5.6 on your computer.

Airport Admin Utility for Windows 2000

Hi all. I'm running win2000 on a thinkpad, trying to hookup to our airport. My son's laptop and g4 (apple) work fine. I need an Airport Administration utility compatible with win2000 and the GRAPHITE Airport. The Airport Admin Utility 3.2 is NOT compatible with the Graphite colored (original?) model airport

jasonKram, Welcome to the discussion area!
You don't need any AirPort software on your thinkpad to connect to the wireless network provided by the graphite AirPort base station (ABS). You would connect to it just like you would connect to any other 802.11b wireless network.
Be aware that the graphite ABS only supports 64 (aka 40) bit WEP. If this graphite is using WEP, you need to ask your son to use AirPort Admin Utility to find the "equivalent network password". That is what you would enter for the password from Windows 2000.

Airport Admin Utility wont see ABS "Snow"

Hi.
The Airport Admin Utility (v 4.1.1) and the Airport Setup Assistant (v 4.1.1) , and the Airport Setup Assistant for "Snow" or "Graphite" (v 3.4.3) and the Airport Management Utility (v 1.0) won't see my "Snow" Base station. I have Mac OS 10.4.1 on my G5.
My Powerbook, which is upgraded to 10.4.2 with updated Airport 4.2 software installed will not see the base station with any of these utilities either.
My Ruby iMac, which is attached to the Airport base station via an ethernet cable running Mac OS 10.1 (I think) sees the base station without problem.
The networks themselves are visible (I have two DSL connections temporarily and have the newer DSL temporarily hooked up with the Westell Versalink wireless modem that comes with a Verizon account). Airport sees and connects thru to either network, but I can't see the Apple base station. I have no idea whether I should be able to see the Westell modem, but that's immaterial.
- The DSL modem is connected to the WAN port on the Airport Base Station.
- I don't have "Block UDP Traffic" selected in the Sharing Control Panel
- the network names appear in the "Preferred Networks" tab in Networks
- the network names appear in Internet Connect
- the networks appear in the dialog text field at the beginning of Diagnostics
The G5 has Airport Extreme card and the Powerbook has an older Airport card.
Is this some wierd marketing deal on Apple's part to make me buy a new base station? Can't I make this work?
I've done a lot of reading in Discussion, Knowledge base and the usual Mac sites and I can't find the exact problem, nor can I find a solution.
(Oh help me Obi Wan, You're My Only Hope. )
Anybody got a clue how to see the Base Station?
Catherine

Hi Catherine,
You should be able to see the Airport from any mac. All that is important is the version of firmware on the Airport and the airport software on the Mac. I suggest that you get the newest airport firmware on the airport. The easiest way to do this is to plug the powerbook into the airport like you currently have your iMac plugged in via ethernet. Then airport admin should see it. Use the option to upload the default firmware to the base station.
Make certain the all macs that you use to administer the airport have the newest version of airport software.
As for the Westell, airport software will not see that. You will likely only be able to administer that through a web browser.

AirPort 4.2 for Windows

Airport Admin Utility for Windows oddity

I have 29 Airport Express Units installed on my campus, configured with no problems using Mac OS. On my other computer, a Dell, I recentily reinstalled everything from scratch (a necessary evil!). I installed the latest "unsupported" version of the Apple Admin Utility for Windows, v3.2.
When I start the utility, I get the Base Station Chooser window, and it shows all 29 stations listed. The second column, however, showing the IP addresses of all the stations, lists 254.128.0.0 as the IP address for ALL 29 stations. The right hand panel shows the correct Name, Description, and MAC addresses of each unit as it is selected in the list, but shows the same incorrect IP address.
If I pick a until to configure, it asks for a password, which I enter, and then fails with a message Error Code: -4. "An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again."
The units are working fine, and the administration of the units from any of our Macs is also fine.
Has anyone seen this? Any ideas on a fix?

Which Airport Admin utility for White Base Station

I would like to know which version I need for a Windows XP machine and where I can get this version.
I've spent the last hour online trying to find out and am losing the will to live....
I have an old white base station simply called Airport Base Station (there are 4 sockets on the back of it 1. Phone line 2. WAN ethernet 3. LAN ethernet 4. power supply)
I want to configure it using my Windows machine as my old MAC has died.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Geoff

Geoff, welcome to the discussions area.
A model number of the AirPort Extreme would really help us help you here and minimize the chances of providing the wrong information to you.
It's usually on the back or on the bottom of the device. Something like A1034 maybe?
If you can't find the model number, you could take a chance with AirPort Utility 7.4.2 for Windows. No guarantees here, I'm afraid, but it won't take long to try.
Both the Windows Firewall and/or anti-virus software on a PC may try to block the connection from AirPort Utility to your device, so you may need to go into the applications to "allow" the connection or temporarily disable the applications until you can configure the AirPort Extreme.

Hello Peter Mason1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The new v5.x version of the AirPort Utility comes on the installation CD that came with your new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).

Old round airport extreme, airport admin utility v4.2, and ps3

Both UDP and TCP ports are opened when you map/open the port.

Graphite and Snow with Snow Leopard

Is there any word on an updated Airport Admin utility for the Graphite and Snow Airport, which will work with Snow Leopard?

There is a free open source utility to configure Airport Snow/Graphite base stations:
"Airport Base Station Configurator"
http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/people/sevy/airport/
This is a java application. Make sure you download the UNIX/Windows version, NOT the Mac Classic version. Unzip it and dubble click on the resulting 'Airport2BaseStationConfig.jar' file to run the utility.
