New network, adding Aloha Terminal 1

[Savatini]

I own a small sports bar, with 2 Radiant P1220's running Aloha, one set up as a waitress station, the other set up to run 2 cash drawers for 2 bartenders. So 2 bartenders have to share a terminal with their own cash drawer. So we just switched ISP's to Uverse, installed a new router with gigabit lan, and I'm recabling the whole network with Cat6, as we tend to stream video from time to time for ESPN3 games. My question is, does anyone have a cabling diagram for the Aloha system? There used to be one in this forum on a 4shared page, but the link seems to be broken. I need to know which and what type of cables go to the kitchen printer, the receipt printers, the cash drawers, etc. The hardware I'm using follows:

3 Radiant P1220's
2 Epson T88III's
2 cash drawers

I'd like it laid out as follows:

1 waitress station, printer, no drawer
1 bartender station with its own drawer
1 bartender station with its own drawer

Any help you guys can give, especially a wiring diagram, would be fantastic.

Are the cash drawers printer fired or hooked directly to the terminals
Are the printers serial or ethernet? How are these devices currently wired?

There are 2 serial dongles connected to the bar terminal, one appears to run the receipt printer, one appears to run the kitchen printer. The drawers appear to run off the bartender station printer, it looks like a serial dongle is split with the drawers marked 1 and 2 from the printer. Would it be simpler to add a printer and just run each terminal with its own printer and cash drawer? I could take a picture, but you seriously wouldn't be able to tell ANYTHING from that. Thanks.

Running the cash drawers from the receipt printers from each terminal would probably be your best bet depending on the success of making or obtaining cables for the cash drawer to the printers. Is the equipment hooked to the RJ11 ports on the terminal using an adapter to ethernet, or do you have like a USB to Serial adapter?

They're connected to the RJ11 ports with a serial to ethernet adapter. But the cables are red and there are keystone jacks everywhere, I assume to switch the pins on the ethernet cables.
