Setting Up Your Time Capsule

Use the AirPort Utility setup assistant to enter your ISP settings and configure how your

Time Capsule shares the settings with other computers.

1

Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a

computer using Mac OS X, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using

Windows XP.

2

Select your Time Capsule and click Continue.

If you’re making changes to a Time Capsule that has already been set up,

you might have to connect to the network it’s created before making changes

to the Time Capsule.

To choose the wireless network you want to change on a Macintosh, use the AirPort

status menu in the menu bar. On a computer using Windows XP, hold the pointer over

the wireless connection icon until you see the network name (SSID), and then choose it

from the list if there are multiple networks available.

3

Follow the onscreen instructions to configure and share Internet access on your

Time Capsule.

AirPort Utility provides a quick and easy way to set up your Time Capsule and network.

If you want to set additional options for your network, such as restricting access to your

network or setting advanced DHCP options, choose Manual Setup from the Base

Station menu of AirPort Utility.
