Chapter 4 - Wireless Network Connections

Network Connections Control Panel

For best results, do not use the Network Connections panel (Start > Control Panel > Network Connections) to disable the
Summit wireless adapter. Due to a limitation of the system architecture, if the Summit wireless adapter is disabled in the
Network Connections panel, it cannot be re-enabled from this control panel. Instead, the Thor VM2 must be rebooted to enable
the Summit wireless adapter.
The Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager) can be used to disable and enable the
Summit wireless adapter without rebooting the Thor VM2.

Important Notes

It is important that all dates are correct on the Thor VM2 and host computers when using any type of certificate.
Certificates are date sensitive and if 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
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.
After making any changes to the wireless configuration, restart the Thor VM2.
