Dolphin 6000 terminals support USB communications.
The HomeBase also supports USB communications via the USB port located on the back of HomeBase. The base acts as
a USB device by interfacing the USB signals of the Dolphin 6000 terminal to the USB of the host workstation. Using a stan-
dard USB Communication Cable, the HomeBase's USB interface allows the Dolphin 6000 terminal to communicate with a
workstation.

The HomeBase supports RS232 communications via the RS232 Communications Port located on back of HomeBase. This
port enables the Dolphin 6000 terminal to communicate to a workstation, modem, or any RS232 device using a standard
serial cable and communications software.
