Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net Rack
By default, the Dolphin terminal is configured to obtain IP addresses automatically using a DHCP server.
This means that in most cases, you would simply plug-and-play the unit.
1. Verify the Net Rack has power, see Connecting Power to the Rack on page 18-3.
2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into the RJ45 connector on the side of the Net Rack.
3. Plug the Ethernet cable into the network.
4. Insert the Dolphin into one of the terminal wells. The terminal screen turns off and the right LED
illuminates orange indicating a properly seated terminal.
5. By default, the DHCP server assigns a unique IP address to each of the Dolphin terminals docked in
the Net Rack. This IP address can be used by any application on the Dolphin terminal.
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 "SMSC9500 USB2.0
FAST Ethernet Drive".
Mounting the Rack
Mount the rack on a dry, stable surface, near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace
with good lighting for the user to view Dolphin terminal’s LEDs while it is in the rack. When choosing a
location, bear in mind that the mounting location must allow users easy access to the terminal wells, the
Ethernet port (Net Rack only), and the power jack.
