    Behind the Scenes 
 
 Audio (-) interface:  Use the analog and optical digital audio stereo mini-jack to 
connect an AirPort Express to a home stereo or powered speakers.
Apple Wireless Device Functions
 Bridge:  Each Apple wireless device is configured by default as a bridge between the 
wireless AirPort network and the wired Ethernet network. Connecting an AirPort 
network to an Ethernet network through the device’s Ethernet LAN port (G) bridges 
the wireless AirPort network to the wired Ethernet network.
Important:  
If you’re connecting an Ethernet network to the device’s Ethernet LAN 
port (G), make sure the Ethernet network does not have an Internet connection.
 NAT router:  One of the most powerful features of Apple wireless devices is their 
ability to share one Internet connection with several computers. To provide this 
service, the device acts as a router. The device can be configured to provide both 
bridging services and routing services at the same time.
 DHCP server:  When you configure the wireless device to act as a DHCP server, 
it provides IP addresses to both wired and wireless client computers that are 
configured to obtain IP addresses using DHCP. Using DHCP makes IP configuration 
simple for client computers, since they don’t need to enter their own IP information.
