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.

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 "SMC95001 USB2.0 FAST Ethernet Drive".

Displaying the Net Base Terminal Well and Dolphin IP Address

Once the Dolphin terminal establishes communication, it uses the unique IP address assigned to the terminal well it is docked in on the Net Base. If four Dolphin terminals are successfully connected, then four different IP addresses are assigned to the adapter associated with the Dolphin terminal.

1.Tap Start > Programs > Power Tools > Network Utilities > IPConfig.

2.Change the Adapter to SMC95001.

3.On the Input tab, tap the Display full configuration button.

4.The Dolphin terminal retrieves and displays the IP configuration for the entire Dolphin terminal and the Net Base terminal well where the Dolphin is docked.

5.Locate the IpAddress field in the IP configuration list.

Mounting the Net Base

Set the Net Base on a dry, stable surface, such as a desktop or workbench near an electrical outlet. Be sure to provide enough workspace with good lighting for the user to view and operate the Dolphin terminal while it is in the Net Base. When choosing a location, bear in mind that the mounting location must allow users easy access to the terminal wells, the Ethernet ports, and the power jack.
