The MX7 mobile device uses the LXE 802.11b/g radio and either the Funk® Odyssey Client
software on the mobile device or the Summit Client software. Both client software utilities
support WEP, WPA, no authentication and all authentications listed below.
The Odyssey Client radio is an 802.11b/g radio, capable of both 802.11b and 802.11g data rates.
The Summit Client radio is an 802.11g radio, capable of both 802.11b and 802.11g data rates.
