Establishing Usb Communication; Mounting The Ebase - Honeywell Dolphin 75e User Manual

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.

Explorer or Windows Explorer.

Mounting the eBase

Set the base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough
workspace with good lighting for the user 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 eBase where the USB port, Ethernet port, and 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.
