3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into the terminal well. The Dock LED on the base illuminates blue.

Establishing USB Communication

Dolphin terminals support USB communications out of the box. The base also supports USB communications 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.
Note: This base cannot be daisy-chained.
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 XP, Windows Vista, Windows 8 or Windows 7.
