Communication

Dolphin terminals support USB communications out of the box. The base also supports USB communi-
cations via the USB port located on the back. The base acts as a USB device by interfacing the USB
signals of the Dolphin terminal to the USB of the host workstation. Using a standard USB cable, the
base's USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a workstation.

Requirements

• A base powered by a power cable and power adapter cable
• A standard USB (Type A to B) communication cable
• A work station running Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0
SP6 or higher), Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
• ActiveSync (v4.5 or above) or Widows Mobile Device Center on the workstation

Mounting the HomeBase

users' easy access to the Auxiliary Battery Well and the back panel of the HomeBase where the USB
port and the power jack are located.
