afterwards.
Start > All Programs > Summit > Summit Client Utility or
SCU Icon on Desktop or
Summit Tray Icon (if present) or
Wi-FI Icon in the Windows Control Panel (if present)
The Main tab provides information, admin login and active profile selection.
Profile specific parameters are found on the Profile tab. The parameters on this tab can
be set to unique values for each profile.
The Status tab contains information on the current connection.
The Diags tab provides utilities to troubleshoot the radio.
Global parameters are found on the Global tab. The values for these parameters apply
to all profiles.
It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM1 and host computers when
using any type of certificate. Certificates are date sensitive and if the date is not correct
authentication will fail.
For Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Embedded Standard 7:
It is necessary to run Laird Connection Manager (LCM) as an administrator because
LCM must be able to access and make changes to the Windows registry.
Rather than selecting to run as an administrator each time, right click on the Laird Con-
nection Manager icon and select Properties. Tap the Compatibility tab and check Run
this program as an administrator. This modification only affects the current user
unless Change settings for all users is tapped before changing the privilege level.
It may be necessary to upgrade radio software in order to use certain Summit Client
Utility (SCU) features. Contact Technical Assistance for details.
Caution: When using the 802.11a radio, the U-NII 1 band is the preferred band for
indoor operation. For regulatory domains in which the U-NII 3 band is
allowed, the following channels are supported: 149, 153, 157 and 161. The
AP must be configured accordingly.
