4.1. WI-FI POWER

The mobile computer is capable of Wi-Fi, a wireless networking technology making use of

an access point, also known as “hotspot”, to connect to a wireless local area network.

To use Wi-Fi, the mobile computer has to connect to a hotspot. Some hotspots are open

for connection while others request a key to authenticate access. If this is the case, the

authentication key must be included in the mobile computer’s Wi-Fi settings.

Wi-Fi settings and power are controlled via Summit Client Utility (SCU). Windows Zero

Configuration (Wireless Manager) can only be used to view Wi-Fi power and connection

status.

Turn off Wi-Fi when it isn’t used to extend battery life. Seeʳ

Turn On/Off Wi-Fi Power

Summit Client Utility functions by the use of Wi-Fi profiles. Profiles are a set of radio and

security settings that are stored in the registry. You may create, rename, edit and delete

profiles, as well as alter global settings that apply to every profile or to Summit Client

Utility (SCU) itself. For more details on profile settings, please visit the following websites:

4.1.1. LAUNCH SCU

Wi-Fi settings can be adjusted with Summit Client Utility. Within this application are three

tabbed pages which allow users to select the access point for connection, create profiles

for better management, perform diagnostics on connectivity, and fine-tune property

settings to meet their individual requirements.

To launch SCU:

On Start screen, tap Settings | System | SCU

SCU opens showing three tabbed pages: Status, Configuration, and

Diagnostics.

The following sections explicate in detail the settings on each of these pages.
