COMM LED
The COMM LED indicates the status of connection and data transfer between the Dolphin
terminal and the Net Base. Each terminal well has its own dedicated COMM LED.
Note: The COMM LED does not necessarily indicate the Net Base and terminal are connected to a valid Ethernet
link. For more information, see RJ45 Ethernet Ports on page 16-3.

DC Power Jack
Use the power cable from Honeywell that comes with the Net Base to supply power to this
power jack. For more information, see Power on page 16-4.
RJ45 Ethernet Ports
The Net Base contains two RJ45 Ethernet ports. You can connect the Net Base to an Ethernet-
compliant device to facilitate Ethernet communication to and from the terminal by plugging a
standard CAT-5 Ethernet cable into one of the two Ethernet ports provided. The second RJ45
Ethernet port can be used for connection to an additional device such as a printer, workstation,
eBase, or another Net Base.
Note: The Net Base does not use a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). When both RJ45 Ethernet ports
are used, do not connect both Net Base interfaces to the same layer 2 LAN.
Note: Ethernet Port 2 only supports 100Mbps Ethernet connections. Plugging in a 10Mbps connection
into Port 2 may cause other ports to stop working. For 10Mbps connections use Ethernet Port 1.
When the Dolphin terminal is docked:
This color and status means…
Green Solid A connection has been established between the Dolphin terminal
and the Net Base.
Green Flashing Data transfer in progress.
