USB Port
The USB port is full-speed (v1.1). Using the USB cable, you can connect the base to a USB-
compliant device to facilitate USB communication to and from the terminal. USB
communication occurs through Microsoft ActiveSync (v.4.1 or higher). For more information
about ActiveSync setup, see ActiveSync Communication on page 7-1.
Serial Port
The serial port supports serial communication between the terminal and another device. Note
that the connector is a DB9 Male connector, requiring a female connector on the serial cable.
The following four signals are supported:
• Transmitted Data
• Received Data
• Request to Send
• Clear to Send
Note: ActiveSync is not supported over the serial port.
Ethernet Port
Using a standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable, you can connect the eBase to an Ethernet-compliant device to
facilitate Ethernet communication to and from the terminal. This equipment is for indoor use only. The
communication wiring is limited to the inside of a building.
