Checking the Installation
1. On the LEX and REX units, check that the Power, Status, Link, USB 2 and USB 3 LEDs are on. If the Link LEDs
are permanently off, then the cabling between the LEX and REX units may not be installed properly or is
defective.
`
For network connect, if the Link LED is blinking, then the network connection between the LEX and REX unit
is not complete and there may be faulty cabling, network components, misconfigured network components,
or the LEX and REX may need to be re-paired together (see the section on pairing a LEX and REX unit).
`
For direct connect, if the Link LEDs are permanently off, then the cabling between the LEX and REX units
may not be installed properly or is defective.
