Setting up an AirPort base station
An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPod touch to set up a new AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule
base station.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under “Set up an AirPort base station,”
tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure that it has power, that you’re within
range, and that it hasn’t already been configured. You can only set up base stations that are new
or have been reset. Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For
setup instructions, see the documentation that came with the base station.
Manage an AirPort network: If iPod touch is connected to an AirPort base station, tap next
to the network name. If you haven’t already downloaded AirPort Utility, the App Store opens so
you can get it.

VPN on page 122.

Connect to a Bluetooth device: Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen
instructions to connect to it. See the documentation that came with the device for more
information about Bluetooth pairing.

Turn off all notifications: Go to Settings and turn on Do Not Disturb. If it’s on and iPod touch is
locked, all notifications are silenced, but alarms will still sound. You can set the following options
