Creating a Dolphin 7200 HomeBase Network 

This information applies only to the Dolphin 7200 HomeBase. The Dolphin 7200 

Compact HomeBase is not networkable. Each HomeBase must have its own AC 

power adapter connected to a standard AC electrical socket.  The group can be placed 

on a table or desk, or rail-mounted using the mounting holes on the two outside 

Dolphin HomeBase units. 

How to Daisy Chain the Dolphin HomeBases 

To form a HomeBase network, daisy chain the HomeBases together using one of the 

following methods: 

• 

Align adjacent units so that the MULTI-HOMEBASE PORT of one unit 

will mate with the MAIN COMM PORT of the next unit until all 

HomeBases in the network are connected. 

• 

Use a RS-232 cable to connect the Multi-HomeBase Port on one terminal 

to the MAIN COMM PORT on the next terminal. Repeat this step to 

include each additional terminal in the chain. Connect the last terminal to 

the host computer and leave the last MULTI-HOMEBASE PORT open 

if it is not needed.  

Programming Commands 

To configure a Dolphin HomeBase network, these attributes must be programmed:  

Address Assignment, Baud Rate Selection and Device Selection. 

Address Assignment 

Use the Address Assignment command to establish unit IDs for each Dolphin 

HomeBase in your network.  This must be done before a unit can be selected for 

communications.  To establish an Address Assignment: 

1. 

Type or send the escape and command strings to set-up the configuration mode 

and establish the beginning unit ID number:
