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.

RS232
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.

Establishing Communication
USB or RS232 communication with the terminal is usually auto-detected and configured by ActiveSync
or Windows Mobile Device Center based on the communication cable connected. If you are using a USB
cable to connect to the workstation, the sync software sets up a USB connection. If you are using an
RS232 cable, the sync software sets up an RS232 connection.
