The HomeBase/IntelliBase supports RS-232 communications through the RS-232
Communications Port located on the back of the device. The HomeBase/
IntelliBase translates the RS-232 signals from the host computer into infrared
signals to communicate with the Dolphin Terminal.

HomeBase
The HomeBase is for users needing a half duplex serial communications
connection. Any device capable of using half duplex RS-232 communications can
be connected to the HomeBase for communications. To use this mode, set the
baud rate switches to the desired communications speed and the Ir-enable switch
to on (See Table 2).

IntelliBase
The IrDA 1.0 software stack is integrated into the IntelliBase to allow
communication between the cradle and devices such as modems or printers that
are not IrDA ready or do not communicate with a half duplex serial protocol. This
allows any full or half duplex RS-232 device to communicate through the
IntelliBase with no IrDA protocol software. See Table 2 for the baud rate switch
settings.

To use the HomeBase/IntelliBase, you need the following equipment:
•
HomeBase/IntelliBase
•
Serial cable
•
Power supply
Set the Dolphin HomeBase/IntelliBase on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop
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 HomeBase/
IntelliBase.

IntelliBase.
Connecting the Cables
Connect the HomeBase/IntelliBase to the host computer or other device by
plugging an RS-232 serial cable into the RS-232 Communications Port on the rear
of the HomeBase. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the other device
is set up as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) or DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) device.

is set up as a DCE (Data Communications Equipment) or DTE (Data Terminal

The HomeBase/IntelliBase Communication Port is configured as a DCE device.
To communicate with a DTE device such as a computer, use a standard (or
straight-through) RS-232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use either a
null modem adapter in line with a standard RS-232 cable, or a null-modem serial
cable.
To communicate with a DTE device such as a computer, use a standard (or
straight-through) RS-232 cable. To communicate with a DCE device, use either a
null modem adapter in line with a standard RS-232 cable, or a null-modem serial
cable.
