Supporting all USB device types such as keyboards, mice, flash drives, interactive whiteboards, audio devices, and any other USB 2.0 or 1.1 devices.
Key features of the Ranger 2311 includes updated firmware, a new ASIC based design, and an internal USB hub change from Microchip to cypress.
Please note that the Ranger 2311 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. 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.
