These instructions are for the Macintosh AirPort wireless utility included with Macintosh OS. If you need help setting up

The following setup only has to be performed the first time you connect to the Hendrix Student Wireless Network.  You can only follow these instructions while on the Hendrix College campus (within range of the student wireless network).

Items to check before you begin 

• Ensure that you have an AirPort 2.0 wireless network card, the AirPort is turned on, and if it has an antenna that it is in the proper position. 
• Ensure that you are running the most current version of Apple's AirPort Utility.

3. You should now see the "Network" window.
   
4. In the "Location" dropdown box, select "New Location...".
   
5. Name your new location something you will recognize, like "Hendrix Wireless", then click "OK".
   
6. You should see your new location in the "Location" dropdown box. Make sure it is selected, then in the "Show" box, select "AirPort".
   
7. Click the "TCP/IP" tab on the "Network" window, and ensure that "Configure IPv4" dropdown box says "Using DHCP".
   
8. Click the "AirPort" tab on the "Network" window, and in the "By default, join" dropdown box, select "Preferred networks".
   
9. The network selection box should appear below the "By default, join" dropdown box. Click the "+" button to add a new network.
   
10. A window will pop up that says "Choose a security type and enter the name of the AirPort network to join with an optional password". In the "Network Name" box, type "hndrxfac01". This is case-sensitive, so be sure it is in lower case. Then in the "Wireless Security" dropdown box, select "WPA Enterprise".
