9200 Mobile Computer Reference Manual

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. See
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:
