2. Install the supplied USB cable between the LEX and USB port on the Host Computer.
Installing the REX
1. Place the REX near the USB device(s) in the desired remote location.
Installing Flexible Power
1. Connect 24V 1A supplied AC power adapter to the LEX or REX, based on installation requirement.
Use only the AC adapter supplied with the Ranger 2311. Use of substitute adapters may cause permanent
damage to the system and will void the warrantly.
NEVER plug a power adapter to BOTH LEX and REX extenders, as this may cause permanent damage to the
system and will void the warranty.
Connecting the LEX to the REX
To ensure proper operation, it is recommended that only solid core CAT 5e/6/7, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling be
used to connect the LEX to the REX. The cabling must have a straight-through conductor configuration with no crossovers
and must be terminated with 8 conductor RJ45 connectors at both ends. The combined length of any patch cords using
stranded conductors must not exceed 100m.
With Surface Cabling:
1. Plug one end of the CAT 5e/6/7 cabling (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX.
2. Plug the other end of the CAT 5e/6/7 cabling into the Link port (RJ45) on the REX.
With Premise Cabling:
1. Plug one end of a CAT 5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX.
2. Plug the other end of the patch cord into the CAT 5e/6/7 information outlet near the Host Computer.
3. Plug one end of the second CAT 5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the REX.
4. Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the CAT 5e/6/7 information outlet near the USB
device.
Connecting a USB Device
1. Install any software required to operate the USB device(s). Refer to the documentation for the USB
device(s), as required.
