CAUSE

SOLUTION

Link LED on LEX/
REX units are on,
Host LED on LEX/
REX units are off.

•  The host computer is not 
   powered on.

•  The LEX unit is not 
   connected to the computer 
   (when used with the optional 
   LEX AC adapter).

•  The computer does not 
   support USB hubs.

•  The Ranger 2244 is 
   malfunctioning.

1.  Disconnect all USB devices from the REX unit.

2.  Disconnect the LEX unit from the computer.

3.  Disconnect the REX unit from the AC power 

adapter.

4.  Reconnect the LEX unit to the computer.

5.  Reconnect the REX unit to the AC power 

adapter.

6.  In the Universal Serial Bus controllers section of 
     Device Manager, check that the Ranger 2244 is 
     recognized as a “Generic USB Hub”.

Ranger units were 
working but the 
Host LED on REX 
unit is suddenly                          
blinking.

•  The REX unit is in suspend 
   mode. The operating system 
   may put the Ranger 2244 in    
   suspend mode when the 
   computer is put into a 
   Suspend/Standby state or 
   when no USB devices are 
   attached. 

1.  Recover/Resume the operating system from 
     Suspend/Standby mode (see your operating  
     system’s documentation).

2.  Attach a USB device to the Ranger 2244.

All LEDs on both 
the LEX unit and 
REX unit are on 
but the USB device 
does not operate 
correctly or is 
detected as an 
“Unknown Device” 
in the operating 
system.

•  The USB device is 
   malfunctioning.

•  The computer does not 
   recognize the USB device.

•  The application software for 
   the device is not operating.

•  The Ranger 2244 is 
   malfunctioning.

1.  Disconnect the Ranger 2244 from the computer.

2.  Connect the USB device directly to the USB port 
     on the computer.

3.   If the device does not operate properly, 
      consult the user documentation for the device.

4.  Update your system BIOS, chipset or USB Host 
     controller drivers from your System/Mother
     board manufacturer’s website.

5.  If the device operates properly when directly 
     connected to the computer, connect another 
     device (of a different type) to the Ranger 2244. 
     Connect the Ranger 2244 to the computer.

6.   If the second device does not operate, the 
     Ranger may be malfunctioning.  
     Contact technical support for assistance.

7.  If the second device does operate properly, 
     the first device may not be compatible with
     the Ranger 2244.
