8.1 The ROCs
Each computer/ server is directly connected to the Smart 216 via the appropriate
RoC using CAT5 cable in a star configuration. No external power is needed at the
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.
