Actually, I was more interested in how he gets as RS-232 serial protocol on this serial terminal (2392A) to talk to a network protocol on a network device using 10BaseT?

I believe he means it runs over unshielded twisted pair Category 5 (which is
what most 10baseT networks use) or Category 3 which is what most phone
cabling is.
