The display is a 2.8” transmissive active matrix, 65k color LCD display with a backlight, QVGA
(240 x 320 resolution); see Display Backlight on page 3-3. The touch panel is a 4-wire analog
resistive touch.
Dolphin 6110s ship with a screen protector already installed over the touch screen lens
to help prevent damage to the touch screen. Do NOT remove this screen protector before
initial use. Honeywell recommends using screen protectors, especially for applications
that require high volume interfacing with the touch screen. For more information, see
Using Screen Protectors on page 3-3. You can purchase additional screen protectors by
contacting your Honeywell sales representative.

For touch screen input, use the stylus included with the terminal or your finger. The
ϯͲϮ
 method you choose depends on which one is most appropriate for your application.
While there is a great deal of variation in different applications, you generally achieve
greater accuracy with the stylus for buttons or icons that are close together.

Using Screen Protectors

Honeywell defines proper use of the terminal touch panel display as using a
screen protector and proper stylus. Screen protectors maintain the ongoing
integrity (i.e., prevent scratching) of the touch panel, which is why their use is
recommended for applications that require a high to medium level of interface
with the touch panel.
Honeywell continues to advocate the use of screen protectors on all Dolphin
terminals. We recommend implementing a screen protector replacement program to ensure that screen
protectors are replaced periodically when signs of damage/wear are noticeable. For general use, we
recommend replacing the screen protector every thirty (30) days. However, replacement cycles vary
according to the average level of touch panel use in your application.

Replacement screen protectors can be purchased directly from Honeywell. Contact a Honeywell sales
representative for details.
Honeywell also mandates use of a proper stylus, which is one that has a stylus tip radius of no less than
0.8mm. Use of the Honeywell stylus included with the terminal is recommended at all times.
Honeywell’s warranty policy covers wear on the touch panel for the first 12 months provided that a screen
protector is applied and an approved stylus is used for the 12-month duration covered by the warranty.

Managing Battery Power

Data and files saved on the Dolphin terminal may be stored in RAM memory; therefore, maintain a
continuous power supply to the terminal to help prevent data loss. When you remove a battery pack, insert
another charged battery pack in the Dolphin. If the battery pack is low, insert the terminal into a
charging peripheral to power the terminal and begin recharging the battery.
Note: If the battery is low and the terminal is in Suspend Mode, pressing the Power button does not wake the
Dolphin 6110 terminal; you must first replace the discharged battery with a fully charged battery or apply A/C
power to the terminal.

Checking Battery Power

Power icons appear in the command bar at the bottom of the window. Double tap on the battery icon to
open the Power Properties. The Battery tab opens displaying the charge status of both the main and
backup batteries.

Note: You can also check battery power by tapping Start > Settings > Control Panel > double tap Power.

Storage Guidelines
To maintain optimal battery performance, follow these storage guidelines:
• Avoid storing batteries outside the specified range of -4 to 140° F (-20 to 60°C) or in extremely high
humidity.
• For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the battery be at a 40% - 50% charge level, be removed
from the device, and stored in a controlled temperature environment. Following these
recommendations will maximize battery life.

Guidelines for Battery Pack Use and Disposal

The following are general guidelines for the safe use and disposal of batteries:
• We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may pose a
personal hazard to the user.
• DO NOT attempt to charge damp/wet mobile computers or batteries. All components must be dry
before connecting to an external power source.
• Replace defective batteries immediately; using a defective battery could damage the Dolphin terminal.
• Never throw a used battery in the trash. It contains heavy metals and should be recycled according to
local guidelines.
• Don’t use a battery in any other manner outside its intended use in Dolphin terminals and peripherals.
• Don’t short-circuit a battery or throw it into a fire; it can explode and cause severe personal injury.

ϯͲϭϰ
• Excessive discharge damages a battery. Recharge the battery when your terminal indicates low battery
power.
• If you observe that the Honeywell battery supplied is physically damaged in some way, send it to
Honeywell International Inc. or an authorized service center for inspection. Refer to the Product Service
and Repair (page 12-1) section of this guide.
• Although your battery can be recharged many times, it will eventually be depleted. Replace it after the
battery is unable to hold an adequate charge.
• If you are not sure the battery or charger is working properly, send it to Honeywell International or an
authorized service center for inspection.

Resetting the Terminal

Soft Reset: Using the stylus, press the Reset button. Or press and hold Power button more than 3
seconds until you can see the Power Menu in the LCD. And then, release Power button
and tap the SOFT RESET.

Hard Reset: Press and hold the Power button and then using the stylus, press the Reset button. The
screen turns white and the decode/ scan LED flashes blue for approximately 18
seconds.

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)

A soft reset re-boots the terminal without losing RAM data, terminates all running applications, reloads
the OS, and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the \\Honeywell\AutoInstall
folder.
You would perform a soft reset 1) when the terminal fails to respond, 2) after installing software
applications that require a reboot, 3) after making changes to certain system settings, or 4) to install new
CAB or REG files.
The desktop appears when the Soft Reset is complete.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

A hard reset erases all of the data and applications stored in RAM memory, reloads the OS, resets the Real
Time Clock (RTC), and launches Autoinstall, which installs any CAB or REG files in the
\\Honeywell\AutoInstall folder.

Hard resets automatically launch a soft reset as part of the boot process if there are CAB files present.
You would perform a Hard Reset (instead of a Soft Reset) when you want to ensure the RAM memory is
also cleared. RAM memory stores settings for Internet Explorer, Outlook, and other Microsoft
applications.
Note: Set the time and date after each hard reset to ensure that the system clock is accurate. Double-click the date
on the command bar to open the Clock setting and set the time and date.

Suspend Mode
Suspend Mode suspends terminal operation. The terminal appears to be “off” when in Suspend Mode.
The terminal is programmed to go into Suspend Mode automatically when inactive for a specified period
of time. You can set this time period in the Power setting.
To suspend operation, press the red Power button to put the terminal in Suspend Mode on the Dolphin
6110. To wake the device, press the Power button. You may also press the front or rear scan keys to
wake a suspended device.

ϯͲϭϱ
Troubleshooting Suspend/Resume
If the terminal does not wake when you press the Power button on the Dolphin 6110, the battery might
be too low to resume operation. To check, remove the battery and install a fully charged battery or
connect the terminal to a Dolphin charging peripheral.

Changing the Memory Allocation

You can adjust file storage vs. program memory in System Properties.

1. Tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Memory tab.

Activating the Engine
When a scanning application is open, press the Scan key to activate the image engine.

Using Demos
Dolphin Demos are software utilities loaded on all Dolphin terminals that demonstrate the advanced
features of the terminal. There are two Demos that feature the image engine: Image Demo and Scan
Demo.
To access these demos, tap Start > Programs > Demos.
• Select Scan Demo to verify decoding, or
• Select Imaging Demo to verify imaging
• For more information about Demos, refer to the Dolphin Demos User’s Guide, which is available for
download from www.honeywellaidc.com.

Decoding
The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear
Decoding (ALD).

Full-area Imaging
Full-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal supports omni-directional aiming, meaning
that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni-Directional
Scanning Positions on page 5-4.
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (PDF417). For the best
read, the aiming pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is
enabled, the reader does not read matrix or postal codes.

To Decode a Bar Code

1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Scan Demo.
2. Position the Dolphin terminal over one of the Sample Bar Codes on page 5-4.
A range of 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) from the bar code is recommended.
3. Project the aiming brackets by pressing and holding the Scan key. The Scan LED lights red.
4. Center the aimer crosshair over the bar code. The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the
bar code to achieve optimal decoding; Omni-Directional Scanning Positions, page 5-4.
5. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the decode LED lights green and the terminal beeps.

ϱͲϯ
Sample Bar Codes
You can use the following bar codes to verify decoding:
Sample 128 Sample PDF417

Code 128 PDF417 Test Message

Omni-Directional Scanning Positions

The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance.

Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is
held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to
the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

ϱͲϰ
Capturing Images
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following
basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly
learn to adapt to different application environments.

Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This
is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing and has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal; the captured image has a higher
resolution.

File Formats
The Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats
(BMP, JPG and PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale BMP.
File Size
Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256
grayscale image definition. The image quality and related file size are determined by the data
compression method used by the software application used to take the image. The average
size of the image file is approximately 4-8K. However, the size of the image depends on image
content; the more complex the content, the larger the file size.

Taking an Image
1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Imaging Demo.
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the object.
3. Press the Scan key to activate the engine. The touch screen displays a preview of the object.
4. Adjust the terminal’s position until the preview on the screen is as you want it to appear in the image.
5. Hold the terminal still and release the Scan key.
The touch screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.
6. By default, the image is saved to the My Documents folder in My Device.
To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As.

High-Vis Aiming Pattern

If your Dolphin terminal is configured with the N5603SR imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for
imaging in the Image Demo application.
1. Tap Start > Programs > Demos > Imaging Demo > Setup menu > Aimer.
2. The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.

Uploading Images
Image files can be transmitted to a host workstation via
• Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral
• Wireless radio: 802.11a/b/g/n and/or Bluetooth

ϱͲϱ
CHAPTER

6 System Settings

Communication Options
Dolphin terminals offer several communication options including Microsoft ActiveSync and wireless
radios.

I/O Connector (Wired Communication)

The mechanical connector on the bottom panel (see I/O Connector on page 3-11) connects
the terminal to various Dolphin communication peripherals that connect to a host workstation
via USB 2.0, thus enabling ActiveSync communication.
For more information, see ActiveSync Communication on page 6-3.

Wireless Radios (Wireless Communication)

Dolphin 6110s can be equipped with 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth radios or just a Bluetooth
radio. For more information, see Wireless Radios on page 6-7.

Installing Additional Software

Dolphin terminals ship with the operating system, radio drivers, and custom Honeywell software already
installed. These are the default programs that install when your terminal first boots up. You can install
additional software programs on the terminal provided that the following parameters are met:
• the software program was created for a Windows CE device.
• the terminal has enough memory to store and run the program.
• the program has an EXE, CAB, or DLL extension.
When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the
Windows CE 6.0 and the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings
> Control Panel > System > General tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
To install additional software, you can use the communication options described in this chapter.
• Adding Programs via ActiveSync, page 6-6.

Not only can you communicate between the terminal and the host using the Dolphin Charging/
Communication cable, but you can also trickle charge the terminal. To charge the battery using the USB
cable, select Start > Settings > Control Panel >Battery > USB charging.

ActiveSync Communication
To synchronize, ActiveSync 4.1 or higher must be installed and configured for the appropriate
communication type on the host workstation and the Dolphin terminal. Dolphin terminals ship with
ActiveSync already installed. Therefore, if ActiveSync is already installed on the host workstation, you just
need to connect the Dolphin terminal to the host workstation (via Dolphin peripheral) to initiate
communication.
Note: You can download the most current version of ActiveSync from www.microsoft.com.

When communicating via ActiveSync, your terminal is designed to be connected to the host workstation with a
Honeywell communication peripheral. 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.

Communication Type
The Dolphin 6110 supports the following type of communication via ActiveSync through its I/O Connector
(see page 3-11) on the bottom panel:
USB The USB cable and hardware peripherals allow the Dolphin terminal to communicate with a
workstation through a USB port or to a network through a USB hub. The Dolphin terminal
supports high-speed USB communication (USB 2.0); maximum data transfer rate is 480
Mbps. The Dolphin terminal defaults to USB communication out of the box.

Hardware Requirements for Setup

• Dolphin communication peripheral
• Dolphin power cable
• USB Cable (for USB communication)
• ActiveSync v4.1 or higher installed on the host workstation
• Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT (4.0 SP6 or higher),
Windows XP, Windows 7, or Windows 10 computer

ϲͲϯ
Software Requirements for Communication
To sync successfully, ActiveSync must be configured for the same communication type on both the host
workstation and the Dolphin terminal. ActiveSync must be setup on your workstation before you initiate
synchronization from the terminal for the first time.

Setting Up the Host Workstation

Verify that ActiveSync is configured to use the appropriate communication type by clicking File >

Communicating with the Dolphin Terminal
After setting up both the workstation and the terminal, ActiveSync connection should be automatic.
1. Connect the Dolphin terminal to a communication peripheral, such as the Dolphin HomeBase.
2. The Dolphin terminal automatically opens ActiveSync to establish a connection.

Synchronizing with the Host Workstation

After setup, synchronization begins automatically whenever the terminal’s mechanical connector
connects to a Dolphin peripheral that is connected to a host workstation with ActiveSync installed.

ϲͲϱ
Exploring the Terminal from the Workstation
When the terminal and desktop computer are connected, open the main ActiveSync window (on the
desktop), and click Explore.

The Mobile Device folder opens in Windows Explorer.

The Dolphin terminal is now treated as a mass storage device, and transferring files is as simple as
dragging and dropping or copying and pasting as you would for moving files between folders on your hard
drive.

Adding Programs via ActiveSync

When selecting programs, verify that the program and version of the program are designed for the Windows CE 6.0 and
the terminal’s processor. You can verify your processor by tapping Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > General
tab. Make a note of the information in the Processor field.
Generally, software for Windows CE devices must be installed to the host workstation first, then
transferred to the Dolphin terminal.
1. Download the program to the workstation from either the Internet or the install CD. You may see a
single *.exe or setup.exe file, a *.cab file, or *.dll. (There may also be several versions of files for dif-
ferent device types and processors.)
2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program.
Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect the terminal to the workstation via a Dolphin communication peripheral.

ϲͲϲ
If the File is an Installer
An installer program is one that installs to the workstation and the terminal simultaneously; one process
installs to both devices.
1. On the workstation, double-click the *.exe or *.setup.exe file. The installation wizard begins.
2. Follow the directions on the workstation screen.
The installation process includes transferring the software to the terminal via ActiveSync.
If the File is Not an Installer
Some programs cannot be installed on workstations because they are designed exclusively for Windows
CE devices. In these cases, the appropriate files must be stored on the host workstation and transferred
to the terminal via ActiveSync Explore.
Note: You know that the program is not an installer because an error message stating that the program is valid but
designed for a different type of computer appears when you try to install the program on the workstation.

1. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation,
open ActiveSync on the workstation and click Explore.
2. On the workstation, navigate to the workstation folder containing the program file(s) and copy them
to the Program Files folder on the terminal.
If you want the program to persist through hard resets, paste the program to the Autoinstall folder
(\Honeywell\AutoInstall).
3. On the terminal Desktop, tap My Device and, in Windows Explorer, navigate to the folder where the
program is located.
4. Double tap on the program file to install it.
If you copied the file to the Autoinstall folder, you can choose to install the program by performing a
hard reset. The program installs as part of initialization.
5. After installation is complete, access the program by tapping Start > Programs, and the program
appears on the Programs screen. Tap the icon to open the program.

Wireless Radios
There are four radio options: 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth.
1. 802.11a/b/g/n (WPAN/WLAN configuration): see WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n Radio), below.
2. Bluetooth (WPAN configuration): see Bluetooth Handler on page 7-1.

Connecting the Terminal to a Wireless Network

You connect the terminal to a wireless network through the on-board radio (802.11a/b/g/n and/or
Bluetooth). Each radio has its own configuration program and requires specific information about the
wireless network to connect. Successful connection depends on your network infrastructure about
which you will need specific information from your network administrator.

WLAN (802.11a/b/g/n Radio)

8 Dolphin HomeBase/eBase Device

Overview
Note: The information in this chapter applies to both the Dolphin HomeBase and Dolphin eBase devices unless
otherwise indicated.

As the hub of your Dolphin 6110 system, the Dolphin HomeBase charging and communication cradle
supports high-speed USB 2.0 and RS-232 communication with a workstation. The Dolphin eBase is
identical to the Dolphin HomeBase except it supports Ethernet communication as well as USB 2.0, and
RS-232.

Communication
The base can communicate via USB or serial RS-232 (or Ethernet for the eBase). Data transmission for
USB is up to 480 Mbps. Data transmission for serial RS-232 is up to 115 Kbps.
These bases cannot be physically connected to each other–sometimes referred to as “daisy-chaining”–
but can be networked together via serial or USB hubs.

Battery Charging
The base completes a full charge of a fully depleted battery pack in an average of 5 1/2 hours. It takes
less time if the battery has some charge.
In addition to charging, the base powers the terminal’s intelligent battery charging system, which protects
the battery from being damaged by overcharging. The terminal senses when a battery pack is fully
charged and automatically turns off the charger. If the battery voltage drops below the charge threshold,
the charger turns on again to maintain the battery at full capacity. As a result, Dolphin terminals may be
stored in the base indefinitely without damage to the terminals, battery packs, or peripherals. For
prolonged storage, see Storage Guidelines on page 3-14. The base can also charge a second battery
while the terminal is positioned in the base. See Charging a Spare Battery on page 8-6.

Power Supply
The power cable that ships with each terminal also powers the base.

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.

We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in
damage not covered by the warranty.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet
 components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

USB Port
The USB port is High-speed (v2.0). 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).
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 (eBase only)
Using an 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.

ϴͲϯ
Powering the Dolphin HomeBase Device
The terminal requires 5 volts DC input for communication and battery charging; the power adapter on the
power cable converts the voltage from the power source to 5 volts DC. Only power adapter cables from
Honeywell convert the voltage appropriately.
The same power cable that ships with each terminal can be used to power the base. This cable contains
a plug adapter for each geography (US, UK, EU, etc.).

Plug Adapter
Power Adapter

Power Cable

1. Attach the appropriate plug adapter to the power adapter.

2. Plug the power cable into the power source.
3. Plug the connector into the DC power jack on the back panel. The base is now powered.
When a terminal is properly seated, the base powers the terminal, charges the terminal’s battery pack,
and launches ActiveSync.
Honeywell recommends that you leave the base connected to its power source at all times, so that it is
always ready to use.

eBase Clamp-on Ferrite Core Installation

We recommend that you install the clamp-on ferrite core included with your Dolphin® eBase on your
Ethernet cable. Installation of the ferrite is required to meet the declared FCC emission levels.

ϴͲϰ
The following illustration shows how to install the ferrite on the cable. It should be placed approximately
1.57 inches (40mm) from the RJ45 plug. The cable should be looped around the core, as shown.

Charging the Battery

The base powers the terminal and fully charges its battery
pack in an average of 7 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery.
It takes less time if the battery has some charge.
As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the
two- step charging process (CC-CV) that is recommended for
Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in
temperature, current, and voltage.

Inserting a Terminal
1. Install the battery pack in the terminal; see Install the Bat-
tery on page 2-1.
2. Power the base; see Powering the Dolphin HomeBase
Device on page 8-4.
3. Slide the terminal into the terminal well making certain
that the terminal is seated properly.
4. The battery pack begins charging.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating terminals/

batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

ϴͲϱ
Charging a Spare Battery
The base can also charge a second battery while the terminal is positioned in the base. The second
battery can be inserted in the battery charging well in back of the terminal connection. Place the battery
in the well with the label facing up and toward the back of the unit. Angle the battery as shown. Once the
connectors engage, the LED lights. If the LED is red, the unit is charging; if it is green, the charge is

Doing so may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in dam-
age not covered by the warranty.

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 Start > Programs > Power Tools > SysInfo.
• The Kernel version must be 42.03C1 or later in terminals running Windows Embedded Handheld
6.5 Classic.
• In terminals running Windows CE 6.0, the kernel version must be 77.01 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.

1. Verify the base has power. If the Power/Dock LEDs are not illuminated, see Connecting Power to
the Net Base on page 10-4.
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.

ϭϬͲϱ
 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 Start > Programs > Power Tools > Network Utilities > IPConfig.
2. Change the Adapter to SMSC95001.
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.
