Quick Start Guide
NOTE: The DIGI-USB2 features Flexible Power, allowing the installer to connect the supplied 24V, 1A
power adapter to either the LEX or REX for normal extension system operation. Please note,
when powering at the LEX, take care not to plug the remote side of the CAT 5e/6/7 link cable
directly into equipment other than the REX to avoid possible damage as flexible power is
different from Power over Ethernet (PoE) and will only properly power the REX.
