Overview

Thank you for choosing one of the following products from
Summit Data Communications, Inc.:

• SDC-CF10G compact flash radio module with antenna

connectors

• SDC-CF20G compact flash radio card with integrated

antennas

• SDC-PC10G PCMCIA radio module with antenna

connectors

• SDC-PC20G PCMCIA radio card with integrated

antennas

(If you are using the SDC-MCF10G miniature compact
flash radio module with antenna connectors, contact
Summit for hardware installation information and
assistance. The software is the same as for other Summit
products.)

When you install and use your Summit radio module or
card in a computing device, that device can communicate to
a computing network using the IEEE 802.11g and IEEE

802.11b protocols. For details on the capabilities of
Summit products, go to:

http://www.summitdatacom.com/products.htm.

The software that Summit provides for its radio modules
runs on the computing device that houses a radio module.
That software includes:

• A device driver

• An integrated IEEE 802.1X supplicant, which supports the highest level of standards-based WLAN

security with a broad range of options

• The Summit Client Utility (SCU), a configuration, monitoring, and management application designed

for Summit radio modules

• On Windows CE/Mobile, a service that displays a Windows System Tray icon that provides a visual

status for the Summit radio and enables the user to launch SCU by tapping the icon

This software runs on the following operating systems:

• Windows CE .NET 4.2 and Windows Mobile (or Pocket PC) 2003

• Windows CE .NET 5.0 and Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0

• Windows XP and Windows XP Embedded (XPe)

Your Summit radio module is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED

®

and certified for Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX):

• Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi Alliance certifies that Summit radio modules support 802.11b and 802.11g with

WPA and WPA2, both Personal and Enterprise. The tested EAP type was PEAP-MSCHAPv2. For
details, visit the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site at

http://www.wi-fi.com, click on the “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED®

Products” link, and search for Summit Data Communications.

• CCX: Summit radio modules are certified to Version 3 of the CCX specification for application-

specific devices (ASDs). For an overview of CCX, go to

Getting Started

Before you can use a Summit radio, you or your device manufacturer must install Summit software and
the radio in your computing device. If you are doing the software and hardware installation, then you will
need the following:

• A mobile computing device:

- With a compact flash (CF) Type I or Type II slot or a PCMCIA (PC Card) Type II slot

- That runs one of the operating systems listed on page 1

• Summit software, which is available from the organization from which you purchased your Summit

radio

• A Summit radio module or radio card

• For a 10G Series radio module, one or two antennas, each with a cable that is fitted with a Hirose

U.FL connector that can be attached to an antenna connector on the radio module

You will perform the following four steps:

1. Install the Summit software on your mobile computing device

2. Install the radio module in your device

3. Configure the manner of obtaining an IP address

4. Configure the radio to connect to your wireless network

It is recommended that you install the software before you install the hardware. 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.

Step 1: Install the Summit Software

Windows CE or Mobile

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”.

Windows XP

On Windows XP, the process for installing
Summit software is managed by a setup
wizard named SummitInstall.msi. When
you run this program, a sequence of
screens guides you through the installation
process.

After you click the Next button on the
initial welcome screen, you advance to a
screen, shown at the right, on which you
specify the folder in which Summit
software will be installed. Once you click
the Next button on this screen, you advance
to a third screen where you click the Install
button to complete the installation process.

You can use the same setup wizard to
uninstall or upgrade Summit software.

Step 2: Install the Radio in the Host Device

Once you have installed the Summit software, you must install the Summit radio module or card into a
CF or PCMCIA slot. Instructions on installing a Summit radio module in an internal slot (within a
device) are available only to device manufacturers.

To install a 20G Series radio card, simply insert the card in an external card slot. To install a 10G Series
radio module in an external slot, you must complete two types of connections:

• Module to device: When you slide the radio module into a CF or PCMCIA external slot, a connector

on the end of the module mates with a connector in the slot.

• Antenna(s) to module: To connect one or two antennas to the radio module, you use an antenna cable

that mates with the antenna on one end and with the radio module’s U.FL connector on the other end.

The standard approach is to install the module in the device first and then connect the antenna(s). If the
antenna connectors on the radio are not visible when the radio is inserted, however, then you will need to
connect the antenna(s) before installing the radio in the external slot.

On Windows XP, when you insert the radio module or card into a CF or PCMCIA external slot on the
device for the first time, the operating system will recognize that a new hardware device is being installed
and display a series of screens so that you can associate a device driver to that device.

On the initial screen, select “No, not this time” for the question on whether or not Windows should
connect to Windows Update to search for the driver. On the next screen, you can choose to install the
software automatically. Windows will locate the driver and begin to install it.

Because the Summit driver has not been signed as a part of Windows Logo (also known as WHQL)
testing, Windows displays a warning message, shown on the next page, when it starts to install the driver.
Tap or click the “Continue Anyway” button so that Windows continues with driver installation.
