Step 1 – Connect REX to Your PC
If you plan to share data between REX and your PC’s PIM (personal
information manager program such as Microsoft Outlook), you should
connect REX to your PC before installing the REX software. If you do not
have a PIM, the installation will offer to install one for you.
Before connecting REX, write down the product ID number that appears
on the back of REX. You will need it during the registration process.

If your PC has a PCMCIA slot: Plug REX into the slot face up with
the end opposite the buttons inserted first. You will see a series of
dialog boxes for adding a new driver for a PCMCIA modem. Accept
the default settings and select the Next button at each screen. When
you see a Finish button, select it.

If you have the optional USB docking station: Insert the REX
installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. Plug the docking station into
your PC's USB port. Insert REX 6000 into the docking station face up
with the end opposite the buttons inserted first. Windows displays a
new hardware wizard screen. At the first two screens, select Next. At
the next screen, be sure only the Specify location button is
selected. You will be prompted for a file location. Windows 98 users,
type x:\WIN98, and Windows 2000 users type x:\WIN2K (be sure to
substitute your CD-ROM drive letter for the x). At the remaining
screens, select Next, OK, or Finish. You will go through this process
with the hardware wizard three times, once for each driver to be
installed. At the end of the procedure you will see the New Serial Port
screen, listing Xircom REX Cradle. A green light will illuminate on the
docking station. This completes the process. If you see a red light,
re-insert the REX card and try again.

If you have the optional serial-port docking station: Install the
batteries in the docking station. Power your PC off. Then plug the
docking station into your PC's serial port and power your PC back on.
Insert the REX 6000 into the docking station face up with the end
opposite the buttons inserted first.
