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.

The base supports RS232 communications via the RS232 Communications Port located on 
the back of the device. This port enables the Dolphin terminal to communicate to a workstation, 
modem, or any RS232 device using a standard serial cable and communications software.

USB or RS232 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 RS232 cable, ActiveSync will usually 
set up an RS232 connection.
