9.1 The ROCs
Each computer/ server is directly connected to the Smart 216 / 232 IP via the
appropriate RoC using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is
needed at the remote ROCs. The ROCs draw their power from the computer’s
keyboard port (ROC PS/2) or from the USB port (ROC USB). The figures below
illustrate the ROC PS/2 and ROC USB.
