Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing your Time Capsule. Read this guide to get started.
Time Capsule brings the simplicity of fully automated backup to your Wi-Fi network, without even plugging in a cable. With Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard, 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 with 802.11n. So it creates your high speed Wi-Fi network in your home and shares your broadband Internet connection, as well as acting as a central location where you can wirelessly back up all of the computers on your network.
With your Time Capsule, you can:
- Use Time Machine in Mac OS X Leopard to back up all the computers on your wireless network, as well as computers connected to your Time Capsule using Ethernet.
• Create a wireless home network, and then connect to the Internet and share the connection with other computers and Wi-Fi devices, such as iPhone, iPod Touch, and Apple TV.
• Connect your Time Capsule to your Ethernet network. Wireless-equipped Macintosh, Windows XP, or Windows Vista computers can then have access to an entire network without being connected by a cable.
• Connect a supported USB printer to your Time Capsule. Compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can print to it.
• Connect an additional USB hard drive to your Time Capsule. Compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can access information on the hard disk.
• Connect a USB hub to your Time Capsule, and then connect multiple USB devices, such as printers or hard disks. All computers on the network have access to those devices.
Important: Install AirPort Utility 5.3 from the CD that came with your Time Capsule and use it to set up your Time Capsule. Previous versions of AirPort Setup Assistant and AirPort Admin Utility are not compatible with the Time Capsule.
