Each Summit G radio enables a computing device to communicate to a computing network using the
IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b protocols. The hardware components and software for all Summit G
radios are the same. A 20G version is a 10G version with integrated antennas. A PCMCIA version is a
CF version in a specially designed CF-to-PCMCIA carrier. The miniature CF version is essentially the CF
version with a different layout and a different (Molex) connector.
Each Summit AG radio enables a computing device to communicate to a computing network using the
IEEE 802.11a, 802.11g, and IEEE 802.11b protocols. The hardware components and software for all
Summit AG radios are the same.
1.1 Summit Software
The software that Summit provides for its radios consists of the following components:
• A device driver for the operating system running on the computing device that houses the radio
• An integrated IEEE 802.1X supplicant
• SCU as well as other utilities that use a software developer’s kit (SDK) to interact with the driver
• A service that displays in the Windows System Tray an icon that provides a visual status for the
Summit radio and enables the user to launch SCU by tapping the icon
Summit supports its software on the following operating systems:
• Windows CE 4.2, 5.0, and 6.0
• Windows Mobile 2003 (Pocket PC 2003), Windows Mobile 5.0, Windows Mobile 6, and Windows
Mobile 6.1
• Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Embedded
SCU is designed for end users and administrators of mobile devices that use a Summit radio module.
SCU provides a GUI for access to all of its functions. Access to these functions also is available through
an API that is provided to every Summit customer. A Summit customer can use the API to manage the
radio from another utility, such as one that the customer provides with its mobile devices.
Using SCU, an administrator can configure radio and security settings in a configuration profile, or
config. For a list of config settings, see the Summit User’s Guide. An administrator also can use SCU to
define a set of global settings, which apply to all configs and to SCU. For a list of global settings that can
be configured using SCU, see the Summit User’s Guide.
