TOPIC

    The Mac OS 9 Keychain works with AirPort software versions 1.1 and later.


DISCUSSION

    You may not add log on information for an AirPort network to the Keychain when using AirPort 1.0 software.

    Versions 1.1 and later of AirPort, however, work with Keychain.

    Note: For AirPort versions 1.1 and 1.2, the Keychain is dependent on the IP address of a device for recognition and not its name. This means that an AirPort Base Station set up for a dynamically provided IP address is not recognized by the Keychain after its address changes. AirPort 1.3, however, resolves this limitation by allowing the Keychain to identify the AirPort Base Station by its hardware (MAC) address.

    Note: Wireless internet access requires AirPort Card, AirPort Base Station, and Internet Access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort, including America Online. Range may vary with site conditions.
