Configuring a Single Dolphin 7200 HomeBase
To prepare a single Dolphin HomeBase for communications, you must enter the
Command Mode to configure the version number and select the baud rate.
Version Number
To configure the version number for the Dolphin HomeBase:
1. Enter or send the escape and command strings:
<ESC>HHPV
This command will return the version number but is not needed for communications.
Baud Rate Selection
The Dolphin HomeBase baud rate is set to 57600 at the factory. Use the configuration
switches on the HomeBase’s back panel to select the network and communications
modes for your Dolphin. The following table outlines the configuration switch
settings:
Switch Setting Function
1 SINGLE (UP) Single HomeBase only
2 FIXED BPS
(DOWN)
Baud rate fixed at 57600
2 PROGRAM (UP) Baud rate can be programmed
Figure 17 Configuration Switch Settings on HomeBase for Single HomeBase
To ensure communications, leave Switch 2 in the ‘FIXED BPS’ position and configure
your communications software for 57600 baud. When Switch 2 is in the
‘PROGRAM’ position, the baud rate can be changed using the following procedure or
you may use the HomeBase Configuration Utility program.
1. Enter or send the escape and command strings:
<ESC>HHPB n
where n is the ASCII number corresponding to the baud rate shown in
the table below. For example, the string <ESC>HHPB6 (which consists
of the escape string and the command B6) would set the baud rate for the
network to 19200. No response will be transmitted back to the host after
executing this function.

The baud rate is stored
in Non-Volatile Memory
and is retained even if
the power is removed
from the network.

The configuration
switches are checked at
power up. Changes in the
switch settings will not be
recognized until power is
turned off and
then back on.
