The PXE can emulate a USB-to-serial converter over a USB connection. A USB-to-serial driver named "Dominion PX2 Serial Console" is required for Microsoft® Windows® operating systems. Download the USB Driver file, which contains dominion-serial.inf, dominion-serial.cat and dominion-serial-setup-<n>.exe files, from Raritan website's PX2 Support Files page.
Note: <n> in the filename of "dominion-serial-setup-<n>.exe" represents the file's version number.
There are two ways to install this driver: automatic and manual installation. Automatic driver installation is highly recommended.
Note: If any Windows security warning appears, accept it to continue the installation.

Note: If the PXE enters the disaster recovery mode when the USB serial driver is not installed yet, it may be shown as a 'GPS camera' in the Device Manager on the computer connected to it.
No additional drivers are required, but you must provide the name of the tty device, which can be found in the output of the "dmesg" after connecting the PXE to the computer. Usually the tty device is "/dev/ttyACM#" or "/dev/ttyUSB#," where # is an integer number.
For example, if you are using the kermit terminal program, and the tty device is "/dev/ttyACM0," perform the following commands:
> set line /dev/ttyACM0
> connect
