Side Panels, Multi-HomeBase Port | Hand Held Products Dolphin 7200

Side Panels

There is a main communications port on one side and a multi-HomeBase-port on the other side:

Main Communications Port

Use a standard serial cable to connect this port to a host RS-232 device if the Dolphin HomeBase is the first unit of HomeBase network. Otherwise, the main communications port connects to another Dolphin HomeBase Multi-HomeBase Port to form a daisy-chained network; see Configuration Switch Settings for a HomeBase Network on page 8-10.

Multi-HomeBase Port

Use this port to form a Dolphin HomeBase Network. This port mates with the next HomeBase's main communications port to form an addressable network.

Note: The Multi-HomeBase Port cannot be used for communications to standard serial devices.
