VPN Passthrough for Sprint Wireless Signal Booster

I recently received a Sprint AirRave wireless network signal booster because my location has weak cellphone service. The device works by connecting to a WiFi network with VPN Passthrough. I have an Apple Airport Extreme base station that supports VPN passthrough, but I don't know if I have to manually set something in the Airport Utility program to do this. Is there a specific setting that I have to make?

15" Unibody MacBook Pro Late 2008, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4 GB Ram, 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive

No, by default, the AirPort Extreme is configured as a VPN pass-through device. There are no specific settings within the AirPort Utility to control this.
