Communication
Communication Options
Dolphin terminals offer several communication options including Microsoft ActiveSync, infrared, and wireless radios.
Mechanical Connector
The mechanical connector on the bottom panel (for the exact location, see Mechanical Connector on page 3-8)
connects the terminal to a series of Dolphin peripherals, which 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 7850 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 an 802.11g 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 v4.1 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-to-Point 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
