8 Dolphin® 7900 Series Net Base Quick Start Guide
Charging
In addition to Ethernet communication, the Net Base charges the main battery
pack of each terminal in less than four hours. The intelligent battery charging
system in all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging. This means that Dolphin
terminals may be stored in the Net Base indefinitely without damage to the
terminals, battery packs, or the Net Base.
Use only the Li-ion battery packs provided by Hand Held Products. The
use of any battery pack not sold/manufactured by Hand Held Products
in the Dolphin 7900 terminal will void your warranty and may result in
damage to the Dolphin terminal or battery.
1. Install the Li-ion battery pack into the back panel of the terminal.
2. Slide the Dolphin terminal into one of the terminal slots until the Dock LED
lights solid green. Charging begins immediately.
Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Base
After the Net Base is installed, configured, and connected to the host computer,
you must connect the Dolphin terminal to the Net Base.
1. Insert a Dolphin terminal into a terminal well.
2. On the Dolphin terminal, tap Start > Utils > RASMan.
3. When the connection is established between the Dolphin terminal and the
Net Base, the terminal plays a sound and the communication icon appears in
the Navigation bar.
4. Upon connection, the Dolphin terminal is assigned an IP address from the
Net Base. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin
terminal.
5. When you exit RASMan or remove the terminal from the Net Base, the
terminal plays a sound and the disconnected icon appears in the Navigation
bar.
Applications on the Dolphin Terminal
Applications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the Net
Base should be designed specifically for a partially connected network. For more
information, please refer to the Best Practices for Partially Connected Networks
document available at www.handheld.com.
