Preparing for Installation
Before you can install the Ranger 2312, you need to prepare your site:
1. Determine where the computer is to be located and set up the computer.
2. Determine where you want to locate the USB device(s).
3. If you are using surface cabling, the Ranger 2312 supports a maximum distance of 100m.
OR
If you are using premise cabling, ensure CAT 5e/6/7 cable is installed between the two locations,
with CAT 5e/6/7 information outlets located near both the computer and the USB device(s), and the
total length, including patch cords is no more than 100m.
Installing the LEX
1. Place the LEX near the computer.
2. Install the supplied USB cable between the LEX host port and a 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 the 24V 1A supplied AC power adapter into the desired unit
—
either the LEX unit or REX
unit, based on your installation requirement.
The Ranger 2312 features
flexible power
, allowing the installer to connect the supplied 24V, 1A power adapter to
either the LEX or REX unit for normal extension system operation. Please note, when powering at the LEX, take care
not to plug the remote side of the CAT 5e/6/7 link cable directly into equipment other than the REX to avoid possible
damage as flexible power is different from Power over Ethernet (PoE) and will only properly power the REX.
