Airport Extreme: How to set up simultaneous bands?

The Airport Extreme is supposed to operate simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. I take that to mean they can both be run at the same time. If so, how do I set them up to operate simultaneously? Thanks.

This may seem like an obvious question but do you have one of the newer Airport Extremes? They were updated about 6 months ago (guess) to have simultaneous broadcasting. My Time Capsule is slightly older than that and can only broadcast one frequency at a time.
 
I know I bought the latest Airport Extreme and the box indicated simultaneous bands. Maybe I should re-phrase my question:

How do I tell whether the Airport Extreme is broadcasting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands?

Thanks.
 
...it can do both 2.4 and 5 Ghz N freq's... mainly though it also gives a full strength b/g signal and a full strength n signal = sim dual bands...

The Airport utility should walk you right thru the setup process...
