Icron USB Extender Mounting Kit for Ranger 2301 and 2312 (Silver) - Manual (Page 11)

Checking the Installation
1. On the LEX and REX, check that the Power, Activity, Link and Host LEDs are on.
•
For direct connect , if the Host or Link LEDs are permanently off, then the cabling between the
LEX and REX may not be installed properly or is defective.
•
For network connect (2301GE-LAN model only) , if the Link LED is blinking, then the network
connection between the LEX and REX 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).
2. For Windows users (XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10), open Device Manager to confirm that the Ranger 2301 Series
extender system has been installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers by
clicking the “+” sign. If the extender system has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a
“Generic USB Hub”.

3. For OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the Ranger 2301 Series extender system has
