Communication; Requirements; Setting Up And Connecting The Dolphin Terminal To The Homebase; Mounting The Homebase - Honeywell Dolphin 75e User Manual

Preliminary Draft, Not for Release - Please Review 2-3-2015

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.

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.

Setting Up and Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the HomeBase

1. Connect power to the HomeBase (see
2. Plug the USB communication cable into the USB port on the back of the base.
Note: The Dolphin terminal should always be removed from the HomeBase when connecting or disconnecting the USB
cable.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the host workstation.
4. Insert the Dolphin terminal into the terminal well of the base. The Dock LED illuminates blue.
5. Touch Turn on USB storage when the USB Mass Storage screen opens.
6. The computer views the terminal as an external USB storage drive. You can copy, delete and/or move files or folders
between the computer and the installed microSD card as you would with any other storage drive (e.g., cut and paste or
drag and drop).
7. When you are finished transferring files, touch Turn off USB storage.
Note: This base cannot be daisy-chained.

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.
