3.4 Checking the Installation

1.On the LEX and REX units, check that the Power, Host, and Link LEDs are on and that the Activity LED is blinking. If the Link LED is permanently off, then the cabling between the LEX and REX unit is not installed properly or is defective.

2.For Windows users (2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7), open Device Manager to confirm that the extender has installed correctly. Expand the entry for Universal Serial Bus controllers by clicking the + sign. If the extender has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a “Generic USB Hub.”

3.For Mac OS X users, open the System Profiler to confirm that the extender has installed correctly. In the left hand column under Hardware, select “USB” and inspect the right hand panel. If the extender has been installed correctly, you should find it listed as a “Hub” under the USB High-Speed Bus/USB Bus.

4.If the extender is not detected correctly or fails to detect, consult Section 4, Troubleshooting.

NOTE: To open System Profiler in OS X: Open the Finder, select Applications, then open the Utilities folder and double click on the System Profiler icon.

To open Device Manager in Windows 2000 or XP: Right-click “My

Computer,” then select: Properties >> Hardware tab >> Device Manager.

To open Device Manager in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
