16 Dolphin 99EX Net Base Device Overview The Net Base enables up to four Dolphin 99EX mobile computers to communicate with a host device over an Ethernet network. In addition, the Net Base provides a second RJ45 Ethernet port for connection to an additional device such as a printer, workstation, eBase, or another Net Base. ! We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters.
Parts and Functions Front Panel Terminal Wells Power/Dock LED COMM LED Terminal Wells The Net Base contains four terminal wells. Each well has its own dedicated Power/Dock LED and COMM LED indicator. Place the Dolphin terminal in any one of the four wells to communicate with a host device, power the terminal, and charge the installed battery pack. The Net Base completely charges the main battery in a Dolphin terminal in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7 battery.
Back Panel Green LED Yellow LED DC Power Jack Two RJ45 Ethernet Ports DC Power Jack Use the power cable from Honeywell that comes with the Net Base to supply power to this power jack. For more information, see Power on page 16-4. RJ45 Ethernet Ports The Net Base contains two RJ45 Ethernet ports. You can connect the Net Base to an Ethernetcompliant device to facilitate Ethernet communication to and from the terminal by plugging a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the two Ethernet ports provided.
Bottom Panel For details on how to mount the Net Base, see Mounting the Net Base on page 16-6. MAC Address Label Compliance Label Serial Number Label Power The terminal requires 12 Volts DC input for communications and battery charging; the power adapter on the power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 12 volts DC. Only the Honeywell 12V/ 8.5A power supply provided with the Net Base converts the voltage appropriately. The operating temperature range is -10° to 50°C (14° to 122°F).
Charging the Main Battery The base provides power to the Dolphin terminals and allows the charging of the main batteries in the terminals. The main battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for the extended 3.7V battery. The intelligent battery charging system incorporated into all Dolphin terminals prevents overcharging, which means that Dolphin terminals may be stored in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or the base.
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the RJ45 connectors on the back of the Net Base. 3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network. 4. Insert the Dolphin into one of the terminal wells. The DOCK LED for the well changes from red to green and the connection icon on the Dolphin’s title bar changes from x to . 5. By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in the Net Base. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
