Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing your Time Capsule. Read this
guide to get started.

The new Time Capsule offers you the simplicity of fully automated backup for your

Wi-Fi network. Using the Time Machine application in Mac OS X v10.5.2 Leopard or

later, it’s easy and automatic to back up all the computers on your network to a single

Time Capsule.

The Time Capsule is also a fully featured AirPort Extreme Base Station that provides

simultaneous dual-band wireless networking. When you set up your Time Capsule,

it creates two high-speed Wi-Fi networks:

Â

A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as

iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers

Â

A 5 GHz network for 802.11n and 802.11a devices, such as newer computers and

Apple TV

Wireless devices join the network that provides them the best performance and

compatibility, and the Time Capsule shares your broadband Internet connection with

computers and devices on your network.
