Review - Apple Time Capsule - Part 5

Once the AirPort Utility has correctly detected the device, it’s possible to access the true configuration that can be done completely manually or in automatic mode. Choosing the latter, the software will ask for a name to be given to the device, which will also determine the name chosen for the wireless network that will be created by Time Capsule. We can also decide to protect the access to the device with a password, to prevent any modifications or file sharing from non-authorized users.

The configuration will then establish what type of network settings to assign to the unit: we must choose whether to insert Time Capsule to a pre-existent wireless network, use it to create a new wireless network or whether to configure the device to be used exclusively through the Ethernet cable connection.
