System module
This is the main module of Summit which provides the user access to create RO’s and make any changes or additions to the RO’s needed. These can include, ordering and returning parts, assigning labor to technicians, printing invoices, moving vehicles through your shops production path, and so much more.

Administration module
This is the module of Summit that allows users with permissions to adjust settings in Summit and configure accounting and media setup. This is also where the settings for the other modules of Summit (TechCentral, Accounting) can be found. This is also the module of Summit where Summit login information and employee profiles are created.

TechCentral
This module can be used by technicians for multiple purposes. This module can be used as a time clock for technicians allowing them to clock hours directly to ROs they are working on. This allows a record to be kept of hours worked on an RO and which technician logged those hours. This module also provides technicians the ability to view media on ROs, as well as assign themselves labor for specific line items on ROs. Technicians are also able to move vehicles through the production path and flag labor to themselves.

Accounting module
This module is used to transfer accounting information from Summit to supported accounting systems such as Quickbooks or Business Works. This module also provides your accounting department with information on which invoices have be exported and which have not, preventing duplicate exports into accounting software.

Second, you will need the remote connection IP address for the location you are attempting to connect to. You can find this by accessing various websites such as IPChicken.com or by doing a Google search for “What is my IP” from any computer at the location you are attempting to connect to. These websites will display the remote connection IP address for that location. Finally, for Summit version 8, port 3306 will need to be forwarded for remote traffic to the server. Typically, shop IT professionals can address this issue.
