7 Communication Communication Options Dolphin terminals offer a number of communication options including Microsoft ActiveSync, infrared, and wireless radios. I/O Connector The industrial-grade, 17-pin, mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-9) connects the terminal to a series of Dolphin peripherals that connect to a host workstation via USB (1.1 or higher). When the terminal is connected to a host workstation in this way, you can use ActiveSync to communicate between the host and the terminal. For more information about communicating with ActiveSync, see Using ActiveSync on page 7-3. IrDA Port The IrDA port enables the Dolphin terminal to transmit data via pulses of infrared light to and from other IrDA-compliant devices, such as printers, PCs, and even other Dolphin terminals. For more information about communicating via the IrDA port, see Using Infrared Communication on page 7-8. Wireless Radios Dolphin 7850 terminals can be equipped with a WLAN and/or Bluetooth radio. When the terminal's radios are enabled, you can connect the terminal to a wireless network for communication. For more information about enabling the radios, see Radio Manager on page 7-13. Software Communication Programs Dolphin terminals are shipped with the following communication software programs installed. Microsoft ActiveSync v4.5 or Higher Microsoft ActiveSync is a tool that enables mobile computing devices to exchange and synchronize application data with a desktop computer. For more information, see Using ActiveSync on page 7-3. Remote Access Services (RAS) RAS is a feature built into Windows NT that enables users to log into an NT-based LAN using a modem, X.25 connection or WAN link. RAS is fully supported and allows the use of Point-toPoint Protocol (PPP) or Serial Line IP (SLIP) connections for network connectivity. To establish a RAS connection, enable the terminal's radio(s) in the Radio Manager (see page 7-13), set the terminal up on a wireless network, then activate the RASMan Power Tool by tapping Start > Power Tools > RASMan. For more information about Power Tools, refer to the Dolphin Power Tools User's Guide, which is available for download from www.honeywell.com/aidc. 7 - 1
