Communication
USB
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.
RS-232
The base supports RS-232 communications via the RS-232 Communications Port located on
the back of the device. This port enables the Dolphin terminal to communicate to a workstation,
modem, or any RS-232 device using a standard serial cable and communications software.

Connecting the Communication Cables

2. Plug the USB or the RS-232 communication cable into the back of the base.
3. Connect the communication cable into the back of the workstation.

You may need to reboot your workstation to complete the installation process.
Establishing Communication
USB or RS-232 communication with the terminal is usually auto-detected and configured by ActiveSync
based on the communication cable. If you are using a USB cable to connect to the workstation,
ActiveSync will usually set up a USB connection. If you are using an RS-232 cable, ActiveSync will usually
set up an RS-232 connection.
