Please refer to the MX7 Tecton Reference Guide for
information when using the MX7 Tecton with Bluetooth.
ActiveSync
Installing ActiveSync on Desktop/Laptop
ActiveSync (version 4.5 or higher for Windows XP
desktop/laptop computers) must be resident on the
host (desktop/laptop) computer. Windows Mobile
Device Center is required for a Windows
Vista/Windows 7 desktop/laptop computer. ActiveSync
and Windows Mobile Device Center for the PC are
available from the Microsoft website. Follow Microsoft's
instructions to locate, download and install ActiveSync
or Windows Mobile Device Center on your
desktop/laptop.

ActiveSync using USB-Client Connection
The only connection type is USB Client.
1. Connect the MX7 Tecton end of the USB cable
to the I/O port on the bottom of the MX7 Tecton.
2. Connect the USB type A connector on the I/O
cable to a USB port on a PC or laptop.
ActiveSync starts automatically when the USB cable is
connected.
When the MX7 Tecton loses connection (e.g., enters
Suspend Mode), the connection to ActiveSync will be
temporarily lost. When the MX7 Tecton resumes, the
ActiveSync session will automatically re-connect.
Please refer to the MX7 Tecton Reference Guide for
ActiveSync information.

Setting Up the Radio
If the access point uses an authentication protocol
(WEP, LEAP, etc.), your radio must use the same
authentication. Please contact your IT department for
WEP keys or LEAP credentials. Please refer to the
MX7 Tecton Reference Guide for information on using
WPA.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Summit > SCU OR
tap the Summit Client Utility icon on the
desktop.
2. Tap the Admin Login button and enter the
password (default = SUMMIT).
3. Tap the Profile tab and make sure the Default
profile is selected.
4. Select SSID and enter your SSID value.
5. If the access point is using WEP, select WEP
from the Encryption pull down list.
6. Tap the WEP keys/PSKs button and enter the
WEP Key(s) and tap OK. Skip to step 12.
7. If the access point is using LEAP, select LEAP
from the EAP Type pull down list.
8. Select WEP EAP from the Encryption pull down
list.
9. If the Cisco/CCS certified AP is configured for
open authentication, set the Auth Type radio
parameter to Open.
10. If the AP is configured for network EAP only, set
the Auth Type radio parameter to LEAP.

11. Tap the Credentials button and enter the User
Name and Password.
12. Tap the Commit button to save the radio
configuration.
13. Tap the Main tab. Wait for a radio connected

Tecton Reference Guide. It is important that this
parameter setting corresponds to the Access Point to
which the MX7 Tecton connects.

Connecting Using RFTerm
Before you make a host connection, you will, at a
minimum, need to know:
lthe alias name or IP address (Host Address)
and
lthe port number (Telnet Port) of the host system
to properly set up your host session.
1. Make sure the mobile client network settings
are properly configured. If you are connecting
via WLAN (802.11x), make sure your MX7
Tecton is connected to the network.
2. Launch RFTerm by tapping the RFTerm icon
on the desktop.
3. Select Session > Configure from the
application menu and select the host type. This
is dependent on the host system to which you
are connecting; i.e., 3270 mainframe, AS/400
5250 server or VT host.
4. Enter the Host Address of the system. This
may either be a DNS name or an IP address of
the host system.
5. Update the telnet port number if your host
application is configured to listen on a specific
port. If not, use the default telnet port.
6. Select OK.
7. Select Session > Connect from the application
menu or tap the Connect button on the Tool
Bar.

8. Upon a successful connection, the host
application screen is displayed.
