Look at the chapter style:

Style Chapter
        Margin                Static
        Category              Section
        LabelString               "Chapter \thechapter"
        LabelStringAppendix   "Appendix \thechapter"
        LabelType                   Counter
        LabelCounter            chapter

Easy, isn't it?
