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, or Windows 7.

Mounting the HomeBase

Set the base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. The user should be able to view
and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the base. When choosing a mounting location, bear in mind that the location must
allow 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.

Optional DIN Rail Mount

A DIN rail (7.5 X 35 mm) may be installed on the bottom of the base to provide the optional security of mounting the base to
a flat horizontal surface with hardware.
