The Serial SAM is a DCE device and only supports VT100 terminal emulation.

other end of the cable to an RJ-45 server port on the back panel of the Octet switch.
3. Attach the power supply to the power connector on the Serial SAM. Up to four Serial
SAMs can be powered from a single power supply.
4. Attach the Serial SAM power supply to an AC wall outlet.
Repeat this procedure for every serial device that will be attached to the Octet switching
system. See Chapter 6 beginning on page 89
