How do you get into the CLI on a raritan dominion kx116, What are the baud settings, What cable to use?

power distribution equipment,
the maker has legacy page, tells you support is ended
clearly here
https://www.raritan.com/support/product/px

first google hit btw.
why not talk to them. or read all the manuals and for sure how to update firmware varies by ever device made in the world.
no 2 the same.

I clicked on your manual for and typed upgrade firmware
and it is there. exactly HERE.
https://help.raritan.com/px/v1.5.5/en/index.htm#3475


the rules for updates are tricky , you never onces said
what version you have now, and MATTERS big TIME
and if done wrong, you brick the device, is page one says clear as day.

Try to reset the device again and connect to a different power source.

you probably need a rollover cable instead however heres a manual http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/fcx/current/FastIronCX_07200_InstallGuide.pdf

They should work, but I would use the PS2 connectors to be sure.

Press and hold the reset button for about 20 seconds, it should reset.

Every POS software has commands that opens the cash drawer and prints the ticket. It also controls how long the receipt ticket is, if it prints in color. Then there are two types of cables that communicate between the cash drawer and the printer to pop the drawer. Then there are dip switches in the printer that change how the printer operates according to the software. When it prints garbage, the driver that comes from the POS software is not synced with the printer. Sorry you asked. Call the POS Software company.

there should be sound button on the side of the device along with the power button.
push the audio plus and power at the same time.
a menu to restore is there. do this with the device off.

Look for a reset button, and press it for 30 seconds. that should restore factory settings, then default log in should work....

If the print test works, then that rules out cables, etc. Definitely sounds like a comm setting issue. The most common problem with swapping serial printers is incorrect baud rate. Is that winpos from quest in Aus? I think they might use 9600 baud. You change the printer baud rate using the dipswitches under the panel on the bottom of the printer.

When connecting Easylabel to a Zebra through the RS232 port, it's very important that the serial settings match between Easylabel and the printer. Easylabel defaults to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, none parity. The Zebra defaults to 9600 baud, 7 data bits, and even parity. This mismatch causes the data light to flash but no print.

Change the printer setting to 8 data bits and none for parity and the baud rate can be whatever but make sure they match from Easylabel to the printer.

Hope that helps !
