The Time Capsule on a Network
Using your Time Capsule to Create your Wireless Network
When you set up your Time Capsule to provide network and Internet access, Macintosh
computers with AirPort or AirPort Extreme Cards, and 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, and IEEE
802.11n draft specification wireless-equipped computers, and other Wi-Fi devices can
access the wireless AirPort network to share files, play games, and use Internet
applications like web browsers and email applications. Computers connected to your
Time Capsule using Ethernet can also access the network to share files and connect to
the Internet.
With Mac OS X Leopard v10.5.2 or later you can set up Time Machine to back up all the
computers on the network to your Time Capsule. See “Using Time Machine with Your
Time Capsule” on page 27 for more information.
When you connect a compatible USB printer to your Time Capsule, supported
computers on the network (wired and wireless) can print to it.
