Configuring Apple Airport Extreme base station

My housemate has one of these routers, and I can connect to it with this arch system, but I want to set up a static IP address.

The airport extreme has a gui app available for Mac and PC for changing such settings instead of the usual browser-based antics. I don't have a Mac, and I suspect that the windows application is conflicting a bit with my software

Does anyone know of a way to configure this router through my arch system? Ubuntu had a package for it in synaptic, but I can't find anything in the aur, wiki or forums relating to it.

Thanks guys.

Is no one else using this router? I'm just looking for some tips or starting points to getting it configured. As it is, with my windows laptop knackered, all I have is my housemates mac to use the aiport admin utility with and its a bit of a hassle getting him to fiddle around with the thing until I get it working. It would make life easier if I had some way of setting it up on the arch system.

Even though this is an older post, I have the same question and am wondering if anyone has an update here?
