2) ATC Cabinet Emulator: Connects to SDLC Port C12S (SB#1) of an ATC 5301 standard controller unit. The Virtual Cabinet emulates the remaining cabinet components.

3) TS2 Controller Emulator: Connects to SDLC Port 1 of a BIU type device. The Virtual Cabinet emulates the controller.

4) ATC Controller Emulator: Connects to SDLC SB#1 of an SIU type device. The Virtual Cabinet emulates the controller.
