Connecting a USB Device

Install any software required to operate the USB device(s). Refer to the documentation for the USB

device(s), as required.

Connect the USB device to the device port on the REX unit.

Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operating system.

Pairing the LEX and REX

When bought as a complete system, that consists of both a LEX and a REX, the units will be paired with each
other out of the box, so no pairing action should be required. However, if units are bought individually,
individual units have been placed, or you simply wish to change the LEX and REX pairings across a network,
then the following steps must be taken:

The following steps apply to both direct connect and network connect configurations for the Ranger 2304-LAN.

Ensure the LEX and REX units are either directly connected to each other, or are connected to the

same subnet on your network.

Press and hold the Pairing button on the back of the LEX. Release the button within 10 seconds. The

Link LED will start flashing.

Within 10 minutes of activating the pairing mode on the LEX, press and hold the Pairing button on

the back of the REX. Release the button within 10 seconds. The Link LED will start flashing.

The Link LED on both units may start flashing more slowly before finally turning on. Once the Link

LEDs are solid, the link is established between both units.

If more than 10 minutes passes before the units are paired, then the units will switch back to regular mode and

reestablish the previous links they had, if any.

To cancel pairing mode, press and hold the Pairing button a second time. Release it within 10 seconds.

Unpairing a Unit

If for any reason a unit needs to have it’s pairing removed, this can be done by pressing and holding the Pair
button for longer than 10 seconds. Once this is completed the unit will not be paired to any other unit.

Compatibility

The USB 2.0 Ranger 2304-LAN complies with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications governing the design of USB
devices. However, Icron Technologies Corporation does not guarantee that all USB devices or hosts will be
compatible with the Ranger 2304-LAN, as there are a number of different characteristics that may impact the
operation of USB devices over extended distances.

The USB 2.0 Ranger 2304-LAN does not support isochronous devices. These are typically audio or video based devices. It is
strongly recommended to not plug these devices into the extender system.
