Optional mapping and navigation software pro-vides turn-by-turn driving directions and location information.Note: Dolphin 99GX models are not currently offered with GPS capabilities.Assisted GPS SupportThe operating system software does not inhibit nor explicitly support assisted GPS modes, which usually requires installing a vendor-specific client on the terminal that communicates with the GPS module. This client would then provide the almanac and/or ephemeris data for warm or hot start modes of operation, allowing a lower time to first fix (TTFS). The Client must be configured on the terminal, active, and pro-vide the data to the GPS module through the standard COM port. Powering the GPS ModuleThe GPS module powers on automatically when accessed by a software application and powers off automatically when that software application closes. You cannot manually power on and off the GPS module.Communication PortsThere are two ways to access the GPS module: through the actual COM port (COM7) or the GPS Inter-mediate Driver. The method you use depends on the software application you are using. If the software application requires the actual COM Port, set the operating system to use COM7. If the software applica-tion requires the GPS Intermediate Driver, set the operating system to use the GPS Intermediate Driver.Selecting the Port1. Tap > Settings > System > External GPS.2. In the GPS program port: drop-down list, select COM7 or GPD1 (the GPS Intermediate Driver) as required by the application.Note: The GPS program port and hardware port cannot be the same value.3.

Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.CommunicationSoftware RequirementsBefore you connect the Dolphin terminal to the Net Base, make sure you have the most current software installed. To check the terminal’s system information, tap > Power Tools > SysInfo. • The Kernel version must be 26.01 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Classic. • In terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5 Professional, the kernel version must be 25.01 or later.Applications on the Dolphin TerminalApplications running on the Dolphin terminal when it is connected to the Net Base should be designed specifically for a partially connected network. For more details, please refer to the Best Practices for Par-tially Connected Networks document available at www.honeywellaidc.com.Connecting the Dolphin Terminal to the Net BaseBy 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 base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to the Net Base on page 16-4.2. Plug the CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the RJ45 connectors on the back of the Net Base.!!
16 - 63. 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 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 AddressOnce the Dolphin terminal establishes communication, it uses the unique IP address assigned to the ter-minal 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 > 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 termi-nal while it is in the Net Base.
