Q: Erase an old Airport?
I need to erase my boss's old airport base station so it can be sold.
1.) Can I connect it directly to my MacBook Pro or PowerMac with an ethernet cable and then use Airport Utility? (I'd rather not try to connect it to my wifi setup.)
1.a.) If so, do I need a specific ethernet cable? (I have a patch cable connecting the two. Hers doesn't appear in my Airport utility.)
2. Will hers need a "factory default reset" before I connect the two?
Her device: Time Capsule 2TB Model A 1409
My machines: Mac Book Pro 15in, or running El Capitan 10.11.6
or Mac Pro running El Capitan 10.11.6
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
