What are those green ports on the back? They look like power supply connectors. Does this require an external PS? I clicked around on the page you referenced and didn't see anything that explained it.

We have like 5 of these in the office. They have like 20 ports on them. I have no idea what the majority of them do. I assume most of them are some specialized binary data transport that I've never used or seen, though I have some weird half memory of similar ports on an early 90s IBM PC.
