Honeywell DOLPHIN 99EX - Manual (Page 147)

13 - 7
• The Kernel version must be 26.01 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5
Classic.
• In terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional, the kernel version must be 25.01
or later.
Applications on the Dolphin Terminal
Applications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the eBase should be designed spe-
cifically for a partially connected network. For more details, please refer to the
Best Practices for Partially
Connected Networks document available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Establishing Ethernet Communication
Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the eBase
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. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LED is not illuminated, see Connecting Power to the
eBase on page 13-5.
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the back of the eBase.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into the terminal well. The DOCK LED for the well changes from red to green and
the connection icon on the Dolphin’s title bar changes from
to .
Note: Instead of using the default for DHCP assigned IP addresses, the Dolphin terminal can use a statically
assigned IP address. See standard Microsoft Windows Mobile documentation for how to assign a static
IP address to a network adapter. In this case, set a static IP address for the adapter named "SMC95001
USB2.0 FAST Ethernet Drive".
Displaying the eBase and Terminal IP Address
Once the Dolphin terminal has been successfully connected to the eBase, the terminal uses the eBase
IP address. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
1. Tap > Power Tools > Network Utilities > IPConfig.
2. Change the Adapter to SMC95001.
3. On the Input tab, tap the Display full configuration button.
4. The Dolphin terminal retrieves and displays the IP configuration for the entire terminal and eBase.
Locate the
IpAddress field in the IP configuration list.
Establishing USB Communication
Dolphin terminal’s support USB communication out of the box. The eBase also supports USB communi-
cations using the USB port located on the back panel of the eBase. The eBase 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 ebase’s USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a host worksta-
tion.
