The Status (page 11-11) contains information on the current connection.
The Diags (page 11-12) provides utilities to troubleshoot the radio.
Global parameters are found on theGlobal (page 11-13). The values for these parameters apply to all profiles.
Help
Help is available by tapping the ? icon in the title bar on most Summit Client Utility (SCU) screens.
Help may also be accessed by selecting Start > Help and tapping the Summit Client Utility link. The SCU does not have to
be open to view the help information using this option.
It is important that all dates are correct on the MX7 Tecton and host computers when using any type of certificate. Cer-
tificates are date sensitive and when the date is not correct authentication will fail.
It may be necessary to upgrade radio software in order to use certain Summit Client Utility (SCU) features. Contact
Technical Assistance (page 16-1) for details.
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 con-
figured accordingly.
