# Viewing information about your base station or Time Capsule

You can view your base station or Time Capsule settings, such as its IP address, the name of the network it’s creating, the device’s firmware version, and more. This might be helpful if you’re trying to solve a problem or if you’re sharing information with other users or network administrators.

## To view the summary of base station settings:

1. Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer.

2. Select the device you want to use, and then click Manual Setup. Enter the password if necessary.

3. Double-click the title of a setting to advance to that setting’s pane in AirPort Utility.

If you’re using AirPort Utility on a Mac, you can also type a word or phrase in the search field and choose a result from the list to advance to that pane of AirPort Utility.
