I would recommend that you look up the settings in the TSM admin reference (or type HELP DEFINE SCHEDULE from the admin command line). Assuming that you have done that, if you can let me know what you do not understand, I will try to explain further.

There really isn't a difference, as these are two separate (albeit related) topics. The Setup Wizard guides you through setting up a client scheduler for your machine. Using the dsmcad service to manage the scheduler is simply one available technique for managing the scheduler service. For a new scheduler, one of the options available to you in the Setup Wizard is whether to use the CAD to manage the scheduler. The client manual has information on this subject as well. I would recommend that you read Chapter 2 "Configuring Tivoli Storage Manager", section "Configuring the client scheduler" for information on this subject. Again, after doing so, post what you do not understand in the manual, and I will try to explain further.
