Connecting the LEX unit to the REX unit 

   

To ensure proper operation, it is recommend that only Category 5e or better, Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling 

 

be used to connect the LEX unit to the REX unit. The UTP 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 10m. 

With Surface Cabling

1. 

Plug one end of the Category 5e UTP cabling (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX unit.

2. 

Plug the other end of the Category 5e UTP cabling into the Link port (RJ45) on the REX unit.

With Premise Cabling

1. 

Plug one end of a Category 5e patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX unit.

2. 

Plug the other end of the patch cord into the Category 5e information outlet near the Host computer.

3. 

Plug one end of the 2

nd

 Category 5e patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the   

 

 

REX unit.

4. 

Plug the other end of the 2

nd

 patch cord into the Category 5e information outlet near the USB device.

      
 

The maximum length of the Category 5e UTP cable, including patch cords, must not exceed 100 meters. The combined 

 

length of any patch cords using stranded conductors must not exceed 10m. 

Checking the Installation

1. 

Check that the Power, Host and Link LED’s are on and that the Activity LED is blinking. If the Link LED 

 

and Activity LED are permanently off then the cabling between the LEX and REX unit is not installed 

 

properly or is defective.

2.  

For Windows users (2000, XP, or Vista) open Device Manager to confirm that the Ranger has installed 

 

correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers by clicking the + sign. If the Ranger has 

 

been installed correctly you should find it listed as a Generic USB Hub.

 

To open Device Manager in Windows 2000 or XP: 

 

Right click “My Computer” then select:  Properties >> Hardware tab >>  Device Manager button

  

To open Device Manager in Windows Vista: 

 

Open the Start menu, right click on “Computer” then select:  Manage >> Device Manager

3. 

For Mac OS X users open the System Profiler to confirm that the Ranger has installed correctly.  In  

 

 

the left hand column under Hardware, select “USB” and inspect the right hand panel. If the Ranger has  

 

been installed correctly you should find it listed as a Hub under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.

4. 

If the Ranger is not detected correctly or fails to detect please consult the Troubleshooting Guide.

 

To open System Profiler in OS X: Open the Finder, select Applications, then open the Utilities folder and double 

 

click on the System Profiler icon.
