Installing The Lex - Intelix DIGI-USB2 User Manual

Installing the LEX

(1) Place the LEX near the computer.
(2) Install the supplied USB cable between the LEX and USB port on the host computer.
Installing the REX
(1) Place the REX near the USB device(s) in the desired remote location.
Installing Flexible Power
(1) Connect 24V 1A supplied AC power adapter to the LEX or REX, based on installation
requirement.
NOTE: The DIGI-USB2 features flexible power, allowing the installer to connect the supplied 24V, 1A
power adapter to either the LEX or REX unit 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.
Connecting the LEX to the REX
To ensure proper operation, it is recommended that only solid core CAT 5e/6/7, Unshielded Twisted Pair
(UTP) cabling be used to connect the LEX to the REX. The cabling must have a straight-through
conductor configuration with no crossovers and must be terminated with 8 conductor RJ45 connectors
at both ends. The combined length of any patch cords using stranded conductors must not exceed
100m.
With Surface Cabling:
(1) Plug one end of the CAT 5e/6/7 cabling (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX.
(2) Plug the other end of the CAT 5e/6/7 cabling into the Link port (RJ45) on the REX.
With Premise Cabling:
(1) Plug one end of a CAT 5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the LEX.
(2) Plug the other end of the patch cord into the CAT 5e/6/7 information outlet near the host
computer.
(3) Plug one end of the second CAT 5e/6/7 patch cord (not included) into the Link port (RJ45) on the
REX.
(4) Plug the other end of the second patch cord into the CAT 5e/6/7 information outlet near the
USB device.
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.
