Icron Mounting Kit for Ranger 2304, 2324, 2344, 2304GE-LAN, and Spectra 3022 - Manual (Page 12)

Connecting a USB Device
1. Install any software required to operate the USB device(s). Refer to the documentation for the USB
device(s), as required.
2. Connect the USB device to the device port on the REX.
3. Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operating system.
Pairing the LEX and REX Units
When bought as a complete system, that consists of both a LEX and a REX, the extenders will be paired
with each other out of the box, so no pairing action should be required. However, if extenders are bought
individually, individual extenders have been installed, 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 2304GE-LAN.
1. Ensure the LEX and REX units are either directly connected to each other, or are connected
to the same subnet on your network.
2. Press and hold the Mode button on the back of the LEX unit. Release the button within 10 seconds.
The Link LED will start flashing and this indicates that Pairing Mode has been activated on the LEX.
3. Within 10 minutes of activating the pairing mode on the LEX unit, press and hold the Mode button
on the back of the REX unit. Release the button within 10 seconds. The Link LED will start flashing
and this indicates that Pairing mode has been activated on the REX unit.
4. 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 extenders.
If more than 10 minutes passes before the units are paired, then the extenders will switch back to regular mode and
reestablish the previous links they had, if any.
To cancel pairing mode, press and hold the ‘Mode’ button a second time. Release it within 10 seconds.
Unpairing an Extender
If for any reason an extender needs to have its pairing removed, this can be done by pressing and holding
the Mode button for longer than 10 seconds. Once this is completed, the unit will not be paired to any other
extender.
Compatibility
The USB 2.0 Ranger 2304GE-LAN complies with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications governing the design of
USB devices. However, there is no guarantee that all USB devices or hosts will be compatible with the Ranger
2304GE-LAN, as there are a number of different characteristics that may impact the operation of USB devices
over extended distances.
