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.
2. Connect the USB device(s) to the device port on the REX.
3. Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operating system.
