Working with GPS
Overview
The Dolphin 99EX terminal contains an integrated GPS module that allows location tracking of workers
and vehicles, providing better utilization of field assets. 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 Support
The 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 Module
The 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 Ports
There 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 Port
1. 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. Tap OK to save.
COM7
COM Port 7 can be set to the following baud rates:
•4800
• 9600 (Default baud rate. Recommended for optimal performance.)
• 19200
• 38400
11 - 2
Other baud rates are not possible. The baud rate selected on COM7 is the actual baud rate with which
the GPS communicates.
GPS Intermediate Driver
When the first user of GPD1 opens the port, the GPS Intermediate Driver opens the COM7 port. The
GPS Intermediate Driver allows multiple applications to open GPD1, and the GPS data is broadcast to
all open ports.
When the GPSID driver is in use, the COM7 port is allocated to GPSID as READ|WRITE (COM7 is still
available for access mode of 0).
For more information about Microsoft’s GPS Intermediate Driver, follow this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms850332.aspx

Communication
USB
Dolphin terminals support USB communications out of the box. The base also supports USB
communications via the USB port located on the back. The base acts as a USB device by
interfacing the USB signals of the Dolphin terminal to the USB of the host workstation. Using
a standard USB cable, the base’s USB interface allows the Dolphin terminal to communicate
with a workstation.
RS232
The base supports RS232 communications via the RS232 Communications Port located on
the back of the device. This port enables the Dolphin terminal to communicate to a workstation,
modem, or any RS232 device using a standard serial cable and communications software.
Requirements
• A base powered by a power cable and power adapter cable
• For RS232 communications, a serial cable
• For USB communications, a USB cable
• A work station running Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0
SP6 or higher), Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
• ActiveSync (v4.5 or above) or Widows Mobile Device Center on the workstation
Connecting the Communication Cables
1. Plug in the power supply and connect it to the back of the base.
2. Plug the USB or the RS232 communication cable into the back of the base.
3. Connect the communication cable into the back of the workstation.
4. At this point, the hardware is installed and operating. You may need to reboot your workstation to
complete the installation process.
Establishing Communication
USB or RS232 communication with the terminal is usually auto-detected and configured by ActiveSync
or Windows Mobile Device Center based on the communication cable connected. If you are using a USB
cable to connect to the workstation, the sync software sets up a USB connection. If you are using an
RS232 cable, the sync software sets up an RS232 connection.
For more information, see Serial Connector on page 12-9.
Communicating with the Dolphin Terminal
To initiate communications between the Dolphin terminal and peripheral, complete these steps:
1. Insert the Dolphin terminal into the terminal well of the base.
• The DOCK LED illuminates green. If the DOCK LED does not illuminate, make sure that the terminal is
properly seated. You may need to remove and re-insert the terminal.
• The Dolphin terminal activates; if the power is off, the terminal automatically powers on. If the terminal does
not power on, verify that the Honeywell power supply is properly connected to the cradle and plugged into a
functioning outlet.
12 - 8
• If the base is connected to the workstation, the Dolphin terminal automatically opens ActiveSync or the
Windows Mobile Device Center to establish a connection.
2. The base can now transfer data between the terminal and the host device. If communication does
not occur, check the port connections to ensure that the cradle is correctly configured.
Verifying Communication
You can verify that the USB driver is functioning by watching the COMM LED on the USB base. When
the COMM LED illuminates solid green, the base is communicating with the host device.
Verifying Data Transfer
The COMM LED flashes when data is being transferred via the base. For an RS232 connection, the
COMM LED flashes red and green. For a USB connection, the COMM LED does not flash during data
transfer.
RS232 Communications Cables
Connect the base to the host workstation or other device by plugging an RS232 serial cable into the
RS232 Communications Port on the rear of the base. The wiring of your cable depends on whether the
other device is set up as a Data Communications Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE)
device.
The Communication Port is configured as a DCE device. To communicate with a DCE device, use either
a null modem adapter in line with a standard RS232 cable, or a null-modem serial cable. To communi-
cate with a DTE device such as a workstation, use a standard (or straight-through) RS232 cable.
You can make your own cables by following the pin configuration in the chart that follows. To do so, you
must determine if your host RS232 device is 9-pin or 25-pin, and whether it is configured as a DCE or
DTE device.

Dolphin 99EX Net Base Device (Model 99EX-NB)
Overview
The Net Base enables up to four Dolphin 99EX or 99GX mobile computers to communicate with a host
device over an Ethernet network. In addition, the Net Base provides a second RJ45 Ethernet port for
connection to an additional device such as a printer, workstation, eBase, or another Net Base.
The 99EX-NB charger is designed for use with battery pack models 99EX-BTSC (standard Li-poly 3.7 V,
11.3 watt hour) and 99EX-BTEC (extended Li-ion 3.7 V, 18.5 watt hour) manufactured by Honeywell
International Inc. and with Dolphin 99EX and 99GX model terminals.
The Net Base is not designed for use in hazardous locations.
We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell
peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Unpacking the Net Base
Open the shipping box and inspect the package to see that the following standard items are included:
• One Dolphin Net Base Ethernet cradle, model 99EX-NB
• One power supply (see Power on page 16-4)

You will also need to provide a standard CAT-5 Ethernet network cable. These items are needed to set
up and operate the Net Base. If any items are missing or anything appears to be damaged, contact your
Customer Account Representative.
Keep the original packaging in case you need to return the Net Base for service or to store the Net Base
while not in use.
Charge Time
The base supplies power to the intelligent battery charging system in all Dolphin terminals, which senses
when a full charge has been achieved and switches to a trickle charge to maintain the full charge.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CC-CV) that is
recommended for Li-ion or Li-poly batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and
voltage. The main battery of each terminal charges in 4 hours for the standard 3.7V battery or 6 hours for
the extended 3.7V battery.
Convenient Storage
Intelligent battery charging makes this base a safe and convenient storage receptacle for your Dolphin
terminal.
Capacity
The base can hold up to 4 Dolphin terminals. Each charging well charges each terminal independently of
the other wells.

Communication
Software Requirements
Before 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 Terminal
Applications 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 Base
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 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.

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 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 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. 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.

Inserting and Charging Batteries
For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before recharging them; temperature has
a marked effect on charging. The recommended temperature range is 50°F to 95° F (10°C to 35° C).
1. Set up the charger, see Supplying Power above.
2. Power the charger. The Power LED illuminates green.
3. Insert the battery at an angle so the battery pack contacts
and the QuadCharger contacts align.
4. Snap the battery into place with a hinging motion.
5. The Status LED for that particular slot illuminates orange to
indicate the battery is seated properly and the charging cycle has begun.
6. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging.

Mounting the QuadCharger
The charger should be on a dry, stable surface and can be mounted on a flat, horizontal surface such as
a desktop or workbench. When choosing a location, always bear in mind that:
• the mounting location must allow users easy access to the power connector.
• the charger should be oriented so that users can easily insert and remove battery packs and see the
LEDs.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems with your QuadCharger device, refer to chart below for possible solutions.
If problems persist, please contact Honeywell Technical Support.
Problem Issue
The Status LED does not come on when I
insert a battery pack. Check the power connections; make sure the Power cable is
inserted into the Power supply connector and the battery pack
is properly seated.
The Status LED lights red during charging. Try to charge the battery in one of the other charging slots. If
the red Status LED comes on again, then the problem is
associated with the battery pack. If the red status stays with the
charging slot, the problem is associated with the charging
circuitry.
The Status LED flashes red without a
battery in the charging slot. If a battery is in failure mode (flashing red LED), and that
battery is removed from the charging slot, the slot does not
reset and will continue to flash red. To reset the slot and stop
the flashing red LED, insert a known good battery into the slot
or recycle the power to the QuadCharger.
