Transferring Files to or from Dolphin

Transferring files between your Dolphin terminal and a desktop PC is easy with the

YX.EXE utility or the Dolphin File Transfer program.

Using the YX.EXE Utility

The YX.EXE utility, installed in the directory c:\dolphin\utils, performs RS-232

file transfers using Ymodem batch protocol. In addition, YX.EXE is preloaded on the

Dolphin’s A drive. This program can be run by entering commands at the DOS

prompt or by accessing a menu.

YX.EXE supports the following options:

Usage :

yx [/b#] [/m] [filename] [com port]

Where:

filename: refers to file name to send, if not specified YX will receive a file

/b#:

Specifies new BAUD rate, 300-57600

/m:

Run YX in menu driven mode

/c#:

Specifies COM ports 1-9

Examples:

yx /b57600 autoexec.bat

yx

yx

/m

yx/c2

The default baud rate for the YX.EXE utility is 57600. For your convenience, batch

files are included on the Dolphin terminal to make sending data at a higher baud rate

easier.

To send at 38400, enter <YF> instead of YX /b38400.

To send at 57600, enter <YFF> instead of YX /b57600.

Using the Dolphin File Transfer Program

Open the Dolphin program group in Windows Explorer and copy the Dolphin File

Transfer shortcut to your PC’s desktop. Putting the shortcut on your desktop will

simplify the file transfer process.

N O T E

When using YX on the

Dolphin 7200

terminal, only COM1

is available
