julian 4a02e5fed3 docs(wiki): site device installation — the field runbook for what to know before the booth
Build & push images / images (push) Successful in 2m50s
Per device (Dingtian relay board, DT-008 readers, Hikvision G3H camera, radar,
K200L / Rongta / Cashino printers): factory address and login, the tool needed,
what the wizard configures by itself on assign vs what is done by hand on the
device, how to verify, and the traps already paid for (unauthenticated Dingtian
CGI + session_en brick, duplicate reader IP, reader settings lost on reset, sub
stream mandatory, Alarm Server after assign + Vehicle target filter, close the
camera web UI, radar idle level, "Test" only probes a printer). Bring list, the
10.0.10.x address plan beside each factory address, the on-site order of work,
and the gaps still unrecorded. Linked from appliance-provisioning and the K200L
page; log entries for the day.

julian 552d87d75b feat(devices): K200L printer driver — live cover/paper status from the J-Speed LAN board
The park-buzi printer is a K200L (Xprinter/ICS XP-K200L; its LAN board and USB
descriptor call it "POS-80"). Its board serves the Rongta's five-row status table
under /prt_status.htm — but the reply carries no HTTP status line or headers, which
node:http rejects, so the Rongta driver could never read it and the unit was filed
in July as "no status page → generic driver" (reachability only).

New `k200l` driver (printer-k200l.ts): prints through the generic ESC/POS device
(same bytes, TCP 9100 or usblp) and reads the page over a raw socket, tolerant of
both the headerless and a proper HTTP reply. Mapping mirrors the Rongta: board
unreachable → offline; page not understood → degraded, never ready; any fault →
degraded naming it; USB → reachability floor. The Rongta driver is untouched.
Tests replay the captured headerless page (devices suite 76). Live against the
lab unit: ready; with the cover open the board reports cover open, paper out,
off-line.

Wiki: new k200l-printer entity (names, network setup from factory
192.168.123.100, board quirks, status page, what it means for park-buzi — over
USB the app never saw cover/paper state at all), cross-links on the Rongta,
status-monitoring, USB-transport and WSL-networking pages (parking-net pinned to
eth1 while the LAN NIC is eth0), index.

generic driver"), and the board's reply carries **no HTTP status line or headers** (HTTP/0.9
style), which `node:http` rejects outright and `curl` shows as an empty `000`. The new **`k200l`**
driver (`printer-k200l.ts`) prints through the generic ESC/POS path and reads the page over a raw
TCP socket, tolerant of both reply shapes; mapping is the Rongta one (unreachable → offline; page
not understood → degraded, never ready; any fault → degraded naming it; else ready; USB →
reachability floor). Bench-verified: cover open → amber "cover open, paper out, printer off-line".
Tests replay the captured headerless reply. Full device notes: [[k200l-printer]].

# Site device installation — know it BEFORE you are standing in the booth
A field runbook: for every device we deploy, its **factory address and credentials**, the **tool**
you need, **what the app configures by itself** at assign time versus **what must be done by hand on
the device**, and the **traps already paid for** on park-buzi and the lab. The [[appliance-provisioning]]
runbook covers the booth PC (OS, disk, Docker, Periphery); this page covers everything plugged into
it. Written 2026-09-09 after an evening lost to a printer whose factory address nobody had written
down ([[k200l-printer]]).
Rule of thumb that explains most of this page: **every field device ships on its own private
subnet with DHCP off, and none of them announce themselves.** You bring a laptop that can take a
second static address, you put it on the device's factory subnet, you move the device to the site
plan, and only then does anything else see it.
## Before leaving the office
**Bring**
- A laptop with an Ethernet port and the right to add a **second static IPv4 address** to it
(Windows: adapter → IPv4 → Advanced → add). Under WSL, remember the source-address bug
([[wsl-dev-networking]]): after adding a temporary address, `ping` may work while HTTP times out.
- The Dingtian reader tool **`QRCode_v1_6_5.exe`** (Windows) — the only way to set a DT-008's IP,
server target, prefixes and symbologies. A browser is enough for everything else.
- Patch cables, a USB A–B cable (printers), the site's **address plan** (below) filled in, the
app **admin** password, and a fresh Komodo **onboarding key** if the booth PC is new
([[appliance-provisioning]] §7a).
- The **serials** if already known: DT-008 `cjihao` (on the reader's label / in the tool), camera
MAC/serial, printer model (label on the bottom — the K200L's own web UI calls it "POS-80").
**Address plan** — the device VLAN ([[network-isolation]]) is `10.0.10.0/24` on both sites so far,
**every device static, DHCP off everywhere**. The convention from park-buzi / park-lab:
| Address | Device | Factory address it came from |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10.0.10.1 | VLAN gateway (switch/router) | — |
| 10.0.10.5 | [[dingtian-relay]] board (barriers + inputs) | `192.168.1.100` |
| 10.0.10.7 / .8 | [[dingtian-dt008-reader]] entry / exit (**unique IP each**) | `192.168.1.99` |
| 10.0.10.9 | entry-dispenser printer (park-buzi: Cashino KP-300H) | *not recorded — fill in* |
| 10.0.10.10 | booth-receipt printer (park-buzi: [[rongta-printer]]) | *not recorded — fill in* |
| 10.0.10.11 / .7 (lab) | [[k200l-printer]] | `192.168.123.100` |
| 10.0.10.12 / .13 | [[lpr-camera]] entry / exit (Hikvision DS-2CD1047G3H-LIU) | `192.168.1.64` (Hikvision default; needs activation) |
| 10.0.10.203 | the booth PC on the device VLAN (**the `backendIp` every device pushes to**) | — |
Fill the real numbers into the site record before you drive; the wizard asks for the booth's push
address once and writes it into the Dingtian and the cameras.
## 1. Dingtian relay board (DT-R004 family) — barriers, button, radar
**Factory:** IP `192.168.1.100`, web UI on port 80, login `admin` / `admin`, UDP `60000` (binary) /
`60001` (string), multicast discovery `224.0.2.11:60000`. See [[dingtian-relay]].
**By hand, on the device (browser at its factory address):** set the site IP / mask / gateway in
the Network page and reboot. That is the only thing you *must* do by hand. Optional but recommended:
in the web UI **disable the UDP2 "string" protocol** (a password-less relay-fire path); the app's
harden step tries to disable it and **warns if the device refused** — then do it here.
**Wiring:** button on **I1** (NO contact to GND, idles HIGH, pulls LOW on press); radar dry contact
on **I2**; barrier operator's open input on **relay 1** (entry) and **relay 2** (exit); a spare relay
for the entry button lamp ([[button-light-indicator]]). One board can carry both barriers; two
distant barriers = two boards ([[entry-exit-points]]).
**What the wizard does on assign** ([[first-run-setup]], [[device-input-flow]]): finds the board by
multicast ("Scan for controllers" — laptop/booth must share the L2 segment), checks and clears
`input_link_relay` (factory default auto-fires a relay from its input — the app must decide, not the
board), sets a random **relay password** (UDP binary), disables every other control channel, rotates
the web login, and writes the **input push** URL + per-device Digest credentials so button/radar
edges reach the booth PC. You enter the relay map (which relay is entry/exit/both) and the inputs
(button → its relay; radar → `presence`, `activeLow` if it idles opposite the button —
[[hikvision-radar]]).
**Traps**
- The HTTP CGI API is **unauthenticated** on this firmware; `admin/admin` gates only the web page.
Never enable `session_en` — it bricks the config API and only a **factory reset** recovers. The
VLAN is the boundary, not the login ([[dingtian-relay]] §Hardening).
- A relay password mismatch shows as **"offline despite ping"**: the status query is answered only
with the right password. Re-assign / re-enter the relay password in the device form.
- "Relay test" in Setup pulses real hardware and signs a ledger event — use it to prove wiring,
once per relay.
## 2. Dingtian DT-008 QR + RFID readers
**Factory:** IP `192.168.1.99`; no web UI — everything is set with **`QRCode_v1_6_5.exe`** over the
network. See [[dingtian-dt008-reader]].
**By hand, in the tool, per reader:**
1. **Unique device IP** (`.7` entry, `.8` exit). Two readers on one IP was the 2026-06-18
"wrong barrier" incident — scans land on the wrong device row.
2. **Server IP** = the booth PC (`10.0.10.203`), **server port** = the booth's HTTP port (80 behind
the prod proxy); "server language" can stay whatever it is (php/jsp/asp/aspx/cgi are all
served — the reader GETs `/qa/mcardsea.<ext>`).
3. **Output prefixes:** `QRCode Output Prefix` = `Q:`, `Card Output Prefix` = `K:` (channel
tagging — a printed clone of a card cannot pass as the card).
4. **Card Input format = `6H`** (defines the UID shape enrolled; changing it later orphans every
card).
5. **Symbologies: QR + Code128 only**, minimum decode length ≥ 10, checksums on — otherwise low
sun through the striped arm produces phantom 6-digit reads (park-buzi, July).
6. Note the **serial (`cjihao`)** — the wizard binds the reader by serial, not by IP.
**In the wizard:** add the reader with its serial, bind it to the controller relay it sits at
(direction is inherited from the relay). **Verify:** scan a card — the server log shows
`READ serial=… → device=… verdict=… dir=…`; the reader beeps **twice** on accept, once on refuse,
and only after the server's reply (no reply = no beep, the scan still happened).
**Trap:** a factory reset or a swapped unit silently loses items 3–5. Re-apply all of them.
## 3. Hikvision camera (DS-2CD1047G3H-LIU, AcuSense) — ANPR + snapshots
**Factory:** `192.168.1.64`, **inactive** until a password is set on first boot (browser at that
address or the SADP tool); after activation the login is `admin` / the password you chose. Site
convention so far: `admin` / `admin123` on the first units (change per site and record it). See
[[lpr-camera]].
**By hand, on the camera:**
1. Activate, set the site IP, disable DHCP. Time: NTP off-site is unavailable — the app re-syncs
the camera clock from the booth at every offline→ready edge ([[clock-integrity]]).
2. **Streams:** the snapshot the app pulls MUST come from the **sub stream** (`102`) — the main
stream's ISAPI snapshot returns **503 instantly, always, on this model**. Set the sub stream to
the highest resolution the camera allows.
3. **Event push:** Event → Motion Detection with the AcuSense **Detection Target = Vehicle** filter
ON, "Notify Surveillance Center" on, then Alarm Settings → **Alarm Server** →
`http://10.0.10.203/api/devices/hikvision/<deviceId>/event`. The `deviceId` exists only after
the wizard assign, so: **assign first, then come back to the camera**. Digest user/password if
the firmware allows it (the wizard shows them).
4. "Enable Hikvision-CGI" is a different legacy surface — **not** needed for ISAPI.
5. **Close the web UI / live view when done.** The camera has few connection slots; a browser left
open makes every snapshot pull 503 "Device Busy" ([[lpr-camera]] §503).
**In the wizard:** driver `hikvision`, host, `admin` password, channel 1, **stream = Sub**, ANPR on,
bind to the relay at that barrier, `alarmPushEnabled` on.
**Verify, do not assume:** drive a car through and look at `GET /api/events` (or the log) for an
alarm with `targetType=vehicle`. A camera configured for push that has sent **zero** alarms is
broken on its side: pull its *Diagnose Information*; `Main Db is broken` means a corrupt config
database → **factory reset**, then redo 1–3 (the Vehicle target filter defaults OFF after a reset).
Point the Alarm Server at a dumb HTTP sink on the laptop if you need to see the verbatim body
([[lpr-camera]] §"auto-enter but not auto-exit").
## 4. Radar (vehicle presence at the entry barrier)
A dry-contact sensor into a Dingtian input, nothing on the network. Check with the board's input
status (`00` query → `relays:inputs`) whether it **idles HIGH or LOW**; if it idles opposite the
button, set `activeLow` on that input in the wizard, or the gate inverts (tickets only when the
lane is empty). It is advisory: it gates the button, it never opens anything ([[hikvision-radar]],
[[entry-double-press]]).
## 5. Printers — three models, one byte stream, different status
All print the same ESC/POS bytes over **raw TCP 9100** or **USB (`/dev/usb/lpN`)**; what differs
is whether the app can see paper/cover state ([[printer-status-monitoring]],
[[printer-usb-transport]]). Roles: **entry-dispenser** outside at the lane, **booth-receipt**
inside (receipts, subscription cards, Z-reports, and the backup for entry tickets), **wash-desk**
if the site has a Car Wash ([[printer-roles-failover]]). Higher `failoverRank` = tried first.
| Model | Factory network | Config UI | App driver | Live status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [[k200l-printer]] (Xprinter/ICS K200L, "POS-80" board; **the park-buzi unit**) | `192.168.123.100/24`, DHCP off | browser, port 80, no login: Configuration → fixed IP → Save → Restart | **`k200l`** | over LAN: cover / paper / cutter / off-line from `/prt_status.htm`; over USB: reachability only |
| [[rongta-printer]] (RP-series) | *not recorded — fill in* | status page `/prn_stat.htm` on port 80 | `rongta` | over LAN: full; USB: reachability |
| Cashino KP-300H | *not recorded — fill in* | *not recorded* | `escpos` (generic) | reachability only, by design — no trustworthy status source |
**Prefer LAN over USB** wherever a cable can reach: the booth sees a real amber "cover open, paper
out" while a roll is changed, and the `usblp` path (udev rule, node renumbering, the park-buzi
"offline after reload" mystery) drops out of the picture. USB needs the appliance's `usblp` +
udev rule ([[printer-usb-transport]] §Provisioning) and the printer shows up as `/dev/usb/lpN`,
numbered by plug order.
**Verify:** the wizard's "Test" only *probes* (opens the port / the device node) — it prints
nothing. Print something real: a subscription with a QR credential auto-prints its card and has a
**Reprint card** button; a payment prints a receipt; a wash till prints slips. Check the Cashino's
barcode with a real ticket (the KP-300H garbled overflowing barcodes until the geometry fix).
## 6. Order of work on site
1. Address plan on paper; VLAN ports patched; booth PC up with its device-VLAN address.
2. Dingtian: factory address → site address (browser) → wire button, radar, barriers.
3. Wizard: **controllers first** (the relay map + inputs); "Relay test" each barrier.
4. Readers: tool (IP, server, prefixes, format, symbologies) → wizard (serial, bind) → scan test.
5. Cameras: activate → IP → sub stream → wizard assign → Alarm Server + Vehicle target → drive-through
test → close the browser.
6. Printers: site address → wizard (role, rank) → print a card.
7. Walk-through: button + radar → ticket; QR entry then exit; RFID; a subscriber's plate at the
camera; pay at the booth → receipt → exit; paper reload on each printer while watching the
footer.
8. Record in the site record: every IP, serial, camera password, printer model, which relay is
which, photos of the labels. Remove the temporary laptop addresses. Log out of every device UI.
## Gaps to fill next time you hold the hardware
- Factory address and configuration tool of the **Cashino KP-300H** and the **Rongta RP** units
(both still unknown here).
- The exact screens in `QRCode_v1_6_5.exe` for the reader's IP and server target (a screenshot).
- Whether the camera activation was done with SADP or the browser at park-buzi, and the per-site
camera password location.
- Where the **site record** lives (a page per site under `wiki/entities/`? — park-buzi and park-2
have none yet; the Komodo stack env is the closest thing).

# K200L thermal printer (Xprinter / ICS "XP-K200L") — the park-buzi unit
An 80 mm ESC/POS receipt printer, **USB + LAN**, sold under several names. Bottom label:
*"THERMAL RECEIPT PRINTER — Model: K200L — Paper Width: 80mm — Print Speed: 200mm/s — Power
Input: 24V 2.5A — Cash Drawer: 24V 1A — Interface: USB+LAN — Command Support: ESC/POS"*, serial
`BLU2107080238`. Identified on the dev bench 2026-09-09; **it is the printer that "goes offline
after a paper reload" at park-buzi** ([[printer-usb-transport]] §Field bug). The lab's older
"ICS XP-K200L" (10.0.10.11, the 2026-07 USB truncation work) is the same family.
Three names for one device, all seen on the bench:
| Where | What it calls itself |
| --- | --- |
| bottom label | K200L |
| USB descriptor (`lsusb`) | `1fc9:2016 NXP Semiconductors Printer-80` / "Printer POS-80" (0x1fc9 = the NXP controller chip; no brand) |
| LAN board web UI | "J-Speed Ethernet Interface Module", "Ethernet WebConfig Version 1.02", copyright "POS" |
The app driver is **`k200l`** ("K200L 80mm thermal printer (Xprinter / ICS, USB+LAN)",
`packages/devices/src/drivers/printer-k200l.ts`). It prints through the shared generic ESC/POS
path (identical bytes, TCP 9100 or `usblp`) and **adds live status from the LAN board** — see
below. Before 2026-09-09 this unit ran on the generic `escpos` driver (reachability only), which is
why the app could never show its cover/paper state.
## Network setup (the evening that was never written down)
- **Factory address `192.168.123.100/24`, DHCP OFF.** Nothing announces it; the printer just sits
there on a subnet nobody uses. To reach it, give the workstation a second address in
`192.168.123.0/24` (Windows: adapter → IPv4 → Advanced → add `192.168.123.101`), then open
`http://192.168.123.100/`.
- The web configurator (port 80, **no authentication**) is a three-frame page: *Information*
(`ip_info.htm`: MAC, IP, mask, gateway, DHCP on/off, DHCP timeout), *Configuration*
(`ip_config.htm`: DHCP client on/off + timeout, fixed IP / mask / gateway as four octet fields,
**Save**, Restore Default, cancel), *Printer Status* (`prt_status.htm`), *Printer Test*
(`prt_test.htm`), and a **Restart** button in the menu.
- **Set a fixed address on the device VLAN** (park-lab: `10.0.10.7/24`, gateway `10.0.10.1`) →
Save → Restart; then remove the temporary `192.168.123.x` address from the workstation. Keep
DHCP off — the app addresses printers by IP ([[rongta-printer]] §Deployment).
- The self-test page (`prt_test.htm` / the "Print Test Page" button on the status page) prints
the current network settings, so a unit with a forgotten address can be read back that way.
- The board's HTTP server is **tiny**: the frameset reloads its frames every 1–3 s and the status
page every 5 s, and it holds very few connections. **Close the browser tab while the app is
polling**, or connections intermittently time out (seen on the bench: `ping` fine, port open,
every second HTTP connect hanging while the page was open in a browser).
> **WSL gotcha while doing this (2026-09-09):** the dev box then carried BOTH `192.168.123.101`
> and `10.0.10.203` on `eth0`, and WSL sourced 10.0.10.x traffic from the 192.168.123 address —
> the exact [[wsl-dev-networking]] source-address bug, except `parking-net.service` pins `eth1`
> and the mirrored LAN NIC is `eth0` now. Symptom: `ping` works, `curl` times out. Run the fix for
> `eth0`, or drop the temporary address once the printer is moved.
## Live status — the `/prt_status.htm` page
The LAN board serves a five-row table the printer has already decoded from its own sensors:
```
Cover Is Open Yes/No
Cutter Error Yes/No
Paper End Yes/No
Paper Near End Yes/No
Printer Off-Line Yes/No
```
**Same rows, same `<TD>label</TD><TD>Yes|No</TD>` shape as the Rongta board's `/prn_stat.htm`**
([[printer-status-monitoring]]) — only the path differs, which is why nobody found it in July
(the Rongta driver looked for `/prn_stat.htm`, got nothing, and the unit was filed as "serves no
status page → generic driver"). Verified on the bench: cover open → `Cover Is Open Yes`, `Paper End
Yes`, `Printer Off-Line Yes` within a refresh; cover closed → all `No`.
**Quirk that needs its own fetch code:** the board's HTTP reply has **no status line and no
headers** — the body starts at byte 0 (HTTP/0.9 style). Browsers render it; `curl` reports
`000` with an empty body; Node's `http` client rejects it with *"Parse Error: Expected HTTP/, RTSP/
or ICE/"*. So the `k200l` driver reads the page over a **raw TCP socket** (`GET … HTTP/1.0`, read
until the board closes) and accepts both the headerless reply and a proper one. This is the second
reason the K200L has its own driver rather than a path option on the Rongta one.
Status mapping (mirrors the Rongta driver, [[printer-status-monitoring]]): board unreachable /
timeout → **offline**; page reachable but not the table (non-200, the index page) → **degraded
"unexpected status page"**, never ready off a page we didn't read; any Yes → **degraded** naming
the faults ("cover open, paper out, printer off-line"); all No → **ready**. Over **USB** there is
no page: reachability floor only (ready/offline), same as a USB Rongta.
## What this means for the park-buzi bug
At park-buzi this unit ran **over USB** on the generic driver, i.e. monitored by "does
`/dev/usb/lpN` open". A cover-open / paper-out condition **never showed in the app at all** — the
badge stayed green. So the operators' "printer goes offline after reloading paper" was not the
cover state being reported; it was a genuine probe failure whose errno is still unread (site shut
down — [[printer-usb-transport]] §Field bug has the commands to pull first). Running the unit on
**LAN with the `k200l` driver** would give the booth a real amber "cover open / paper out" while
the roll is changed, and removes the `usblp` path from the equation altogether — a strong reason to
cable it to the device VLAN when the site reopens.

## [2026-09-09] ingest | Printer cover-open bug — lab did NOT reproduce; park-buzi closed, evidence pending
Same printer unit on `park-lab` (real Linux host, booth image stage-2d9bb15, prod compose, dev DB
snapshot with the USB printer as booth-receipt, cards via subscription reprint): paper out → cover
→ reload → reprint — no error. Printer, USB transport and compose wiring cleared in isolation;
what remains is park-buzi's environment (kernel/USB path/power) or the container's history.
park-buzi is shut down (staff shortage). Recorded on [[printer-usb-transport]]: the three
commands to run FIRST when the box next powers on (container log transitions, kernel journal,
`lsusb -t`), how to read each answer, and two proposed no-booth follow-ups (close the
`withTimeout` handle leak; make the monitor self-document consecutive USB offline polls).
Dev-DB snapshot procedure for a lab (online backup → reset-db --financial --diagnostics → clear
backup fields → VACUUM → copy into the volume with chown) used today; not yet on a wiki page.
## [2026-09-09] build | K200L printer identified + `k200l` driver with live status; network setup recorded
The bottom label says **Model K200L** (Xprinter/ICS XP-K200L family, USB+LAN, ESC/POS); the LAN
board ("J-Speed Ethernet WebConfig 1.02") calls it "POS-80", as does the USB descriptor. User
configured it from factory 192.168.123.100 (DHCP off, web UI on :80, no auth) to 10.0.10.7 on the
lab; added as booth printer on `park-lab` on the generic driver → badge stayed green with the cover
open, because the generic driver is reachability-only by design. Found the board's status page:
**`/prt_status.htm`**, the Rongta's five rows exactly, but the reply has NO status line/headers
(node:http: "Parse Error: Expected HTTP/"; curl: 000/empty) — so a Rongta-path option would not
have worked. Per the user ("this is not rongta", "create a new printer"): the Rongta driver is
untouched; new **`printer-k200l.ts`** (`k200l`) delegates printing to the generic ESC/POS device
and reads the page over a raw socket, tolerant of both reply shapes; mapping mirrors the Rongta
(unreachable → offline, page not understood → degraded never ready, faults → degraded named, USB →
floor). Tests replay the captured headerless page (10 new, devices suite 76 green); live probe
against 10.0.10.7 → ready; bench with cover open showed "cover open, paper out, printer off-line".
Consequence for park-buzi: over USB the app never saw cover/paper state at all — the reported
"offline" is a probe failure (errno still to be pulled). Pages: new [[k200l-printer]] (names,
network setup runbook, board quirks, status page, park-buzi implication), [[rongta-printer]],
[[printer-status-monitoring]], [[printer-usb-transport]], [[wsl-dev-networking]] (parking-net
