Communication
Establishing Ethernet Communication
Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Base
By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically via DHCP server. This means that
in most cases you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Connect power to the Net Base (see Power on page 12-4).
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the back of the Net Base.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into the terminal well. The Dock LED for the well illuminates blue.
Displaying the Net Base and Terminal IP Address
Once the Dolphin terminal has been successfully connected to the network through Net Base, the terminal uses the
Net Base IP address. The IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
In the Apps list, touch DiagnosticInfo to view the assigned IP Address.
Mounting the Net Base
Set the Net Base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench 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 Net Base. When choosing a
location, bear in mind that the mounting location must allow users to see the LEDs and provide easy access to the terminal
wells, the Ethernet ports, and the power jack.
