Wireless Operation

The LEX unit and REX unit wirelessly communicate over the IEEE 802.11g radio protocol at a distance up to 30 meters. The actual communications distance will vary greatly depending on the amount and type of physical obstacles and radio interference in your area. In general, the WiRanger should have similar range to that of a normal 802.11g router or access point.

The LEX unit and REX unit of this WiRanger are “Paired” at the factory so that they will only communicate with each other, even if other WiRanger’s are installed near by.

NOTE: Under normal operating conditions, you should never need to “Pair” the units. However, if absolutely required, the units can be “Paired” using the procedure listed on Page 12, Advanced Setup – Pairing a LEX unit and a REX unit.

The IEEE 802.11g standard allows for different wireless devices to operate on different Radio Channels. This means that your 802.11g wireless router or access point can co-exist with the WiRanger, if they are configured to operate on different channels.
