Use the diagrams in Chapter 2 to help you decide how you want to use your Time
Capsule, and what features you want to set up on your AirPort network. Then use the
instructions in this chapter to set up your Time Capsule.
This chapter provides an overview of using the setup assistant in AirPort Utility to set
up your network and other features of your Time Capsule. For more information about
