A mobile data terminal, vehicle-mounted device, or other mobile computing device with:

•

- A compact flash (CF) Type I or Type II slot

- An internal antenna fitted with Hirose U.FL connectors

Getting Started

To complete the setup of your SDC-CF10G, perform the following four steps:

1. Install the software

2. Install the SDC-CF10G in your host device

3. Configure the manner of obtaining an IP address

4. Connect to your wireless network
Note: It is recommended that you complete the steps in order. If you insert the card in your

device before you install the software, then the “Found New Hardware Wizard” screen will
appear, and you must select “Cancel” to cancel the Hardware Wizard.

1. Install the software

a) Download the appropriate SDC-CF10G “cab” file for the type of device you are using.

The “cab” file is the software equivalent of a ‘file cabinet’ which contains the driver for the
radio as well as the SCU (Summit Client Utility).

b) Copy the file to your device using a supported file transfer mechanism. Common

methods of moving the file include:

- Place the file on a supported Compact Flash or SD memory card and use that card
for copying the file to the device

- Use a program such as FTP or Microsoft ActiveSync

c) On the device, use the resident File Explorer program to locate the “cab” file
d) Run the “cab” file by double-clicking the file or by right-clicking and selecting “run”
e) If asked to replace any existing files on the device, answer “yes to all”

2. Install the SDC-CF10G in your host device

a) Insert the card into a CF slot
b) Connect the device’s internal antenna to the SDC-CF10G via the U.FL connector or

connectors

3. Configure the manner of obtaining an IP address

a) Select Programs, then Settings, then the Connections tab at the bottom of the Settings

screen
b) Select Connections and then Advanced
c) On the Advanced Connections screen, select the Network Card button and then select

the Summit WLAN Adapter from the list of available network devices
d) On the screen that appears, choose that a server will assign an IP address (using DHCP)

or enter a specific IP address
e) If you select the Name Servers tab, you can statically configure DNS servers, but if you

use DHCP for IP address assignment then DNS is usually supplied by the same server

that provides IP addresses
