Chapter 2 Setting Up Your Time Capsule 21
To set advanced options:
1 Open AirPort Utility, located in /Applications/Utilities/ on a Macintosh, and in Start > All
Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows XP.
2 If there’s more than one base station in the list, select the one you want to configure. If
you don’t see the base station you want to configure, click Rescan to scan for available
base stations, then select the base station you want.
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 your 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 Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu. If you’re prompted for a password,
enter it.
For more about the manual setup features in AirPort Utility, see “Designing AirPort
Networks Using AirPort Utility (Mac OS X v10.5 + Windows)” at www.apple.com/

Allowing Wireless Clients to Access Your Network without
Entering a Password
If your network is password-protected using WPA Personal or WPA/WPA2 Personal, you
can provide wireless clients access to your network without requiring them to enter the
network password.
