1.0 Summit Products and Summit Software
Thank you for choosing one of the following radio modules or cards from Summit Data Communications,
Inc.:
• SDC-CF10G 802.11g compact flash radio module with antenna connectors
• SDC-PC10G 802.11g PCMCIA radio module with antenna connectors
• SDC-MCF10G 802.11g miniature compact flash radio module with antenna connectors
• SDC-CF20G 802.11g compact flash radio card with integrated antennas
• SDC-PC20G 802.11g PCMCIA radio card with integrated antennas
• SDC-CF10AG 802.11a/g compact flash radio module with antenna connectors
• SDC-PC10AG 802.11a/g PCMCIA radio module with antenna connectors
• SDC-MCF10AG 802.11a/g miniature compact flash radio with antenna connectors
For an overview of Summit products, go to http://www.summitdatacom.com/products.htm
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.

Summit Manufacturing Utility (SMU) Guide 05/13/09
The Summit Manufacturing Utility (SMU) allows for the configuration of certain radio settings that
cannot be configured through SCU. Summit offers SMU only to its direct customers:
• Device manufacturers that embed Summit radios in their devices or offer Summit radios as device
options
• Value-added distributors that must configure Summit radios for resellers and end-customers
This guide is for SMU V2.01 running on Windows CE or Windows Mobile.
To use SMU in a computing device, you first must perform the following steps:
• Install Summit software on a mobile computing device that runs a supported operating system
• Install the Summit radio on the device
• Load SMU on the device
It is recommended that you complete the steps in the order shown above. If you insert the radio in your
device before you install the software, then the operating system will flag the radio as unknown and
display the “Found New Hardware Wizard” screen, and you must select “Cancel” to cancel the Hardware
Wizard.
Once you have finished using SMU, you must
use of those Summit customers to which Summit makes SMU available. Those customers are not
permitted to redistribute SMU to anyone.
remove SMU from the device. SMU is for the exclusive
1.2 Installing Summit Software
Summit software is in a .cab file, which is the software equivalent of a “file cabinet”. A Summit .cab file
contains all software components, including the device driver and the Summit Client Utility (SCU). To
install the Summit software, perform these tasks:
• Download the appropriate .cab file for the operating system and processor of your device. You can
obtain your device’s operating system and processor from the system information under Windows
Control Panel (Tap Start, then Settings, and then System or Control Panel)
- Pocket PC or Mobile: Select a .cab file with a name that begins with “mobile”.
- CE .NET: Do a search on your device’s processor to determine if it is an ARM v4i processor or
an ARM v4 processor. If it is an ARM v4i processor, select a .cab file with a name that begins
with “sdc_armv4i”. If it is an ARM v4 processor, select a .cab file with a name that begins with
“sdc_armv4”.
• 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.
• On the device, use the resident File Explorer program to locate the .cab file.
• Run the .cab file by single-clicking the file or by right-clicking and selecting “run”.
• If asked to replace any existing files on the device, answer “Yes to all”.
1.3 Installing the Radio
Once you have installed the Summit software, you must install the Summit radio card or module. To
install a 20G Series radio card, you simply insert the card in an external card slot. To install a 10G Series
or 10AG Series radio module, you must complete two types of connections:
• Module to device: Mate a connector on the end of the module to a connector on the device
