Bottom Panel Features
This following graphics describe the bottom panel of the Dolphin 9500 Series.
Mechanical Connector
The bottom panel of the Dolphin 9500 Series features a custom, industrial-grade connector with 17 pins. When seated in a
Dolphin 9500 Series peripheral, the terminal is powered, the main battery charged, and communication occurs via this connector.
All Dolphin 9500 Series peripherals are designed to work exclusively with this connector.
The 17-pin connector can communicate with Dolphin 9500 Series peripherals via RS-232 or USB. For RS-232, the maximum
communication speed is 115 Kbps with seven baud rate settings. For USB, the communication speed is up to 12 Mbps. If the
peripheral unit is connected to a PC, this connector also transmits data.
Powering Out
The mechanical connector also provides power out (to peripheral devices) 5V at 500mA. This means that, with the proper Hand
Held Products’ cable, the terminal can power another device. By default, power out is disabled. To enable power out, alter the
registry as follows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Serial4]
Conn5Venable=1
