When a Windows Mobile Device is synced to a computer via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, the WiFi will be non-functional with a status of "Externally Disabled".
To resolve this issue:
- In Windows Mobile Device Center or in ActiveSync, select Connect without setting up your device.
- Select Mobile Device Settings > Connection Settings.
- Check the Allow data connection on device when connected to PC option.
- Click OK. The device should now be able to access the WiFi while physically connected to the PC.
- Even after checking the box, and disconnecting the device from the PC, Summit's Status will usually stay Externally Disabled. There are two ways to switch this:
- Perform a Warm Boot: With the stylus, press the reset button, which is below the yellow scan button, to the right side. This does not erase data or programs.
- On the device: Start, Settings, System, Device Setting, IO tab. Tap Wireless. Tap Disable. When the spinning Wait icon is gone, tap Enable.
- Summit's Status should no longer say Externally Disabled.
