Noob question on base attack bonus

[Basilforth]

page 138 of the Beta book says, under Full attack, in the lower right hand corner, that:

"If you get more than one attack per round because your base attack bonus is high enough...."

What is 'high enough'? Is that why a 6th level Barbarian, for example, has +6/+1 in the base attack column? Is it saying that a 6th level Barbarian gets two attacks, the first at +6 and the second at +1? Etc, Etc.?

That is correct. You get those multiple "iterative" attacks only when performing a full-attack action (generally) - meaning you haven't taken more than a 5' step, or any move-equivalent actions.

Sorry for being nitpicky, but I take you meant multiple "consecutive" attacks right?
