Communication Types
The 7800 terminal supports Hi-Speed USB communication (USB 2.0) via ActiveSync through the
Connector (see page 3-10) on the bottom panel of the terminal. The maximum data transfer rate is 480
Mbps. A USB cable and a Honeywell hardware peripheral (e.g., HomeBase) allow the terminal to com-
municate with a workstation or to networked through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB
communication out of the box.
