Undeleting a Device from the Network

Just setup My new XR 500, have and Apple Air Port with back up. In the network map it showed 3 items for the one machine, the base station, the wifi, and what I think is the backup drive. I was trying to clean up the map and accidentally deledted the one that was the base station. How do you remap/undelete a device on the network. I tried up plugging and replugging the Airport but that didin't work.

 

Any idea's? Can't find a remap or undelete anywhere in the program.

 

Thanks, Eric

    I've never come across this problem before. The device should re-appear once it's connected again... In fact, it shouldn't be possible to delete a device which is connected. It's possible that those listed devices were only actually connected for a few seconds, maybe during the boot of the Apple Airport. The router will certainly not stop them from connecting again, unless you pressed BLOCK.
