USB 2.0 is capable of consuming up to 480Mbps. The minimum requirement for using the RG2304N/2304S/2304GE-LAN is a
Gigabit (1000Base-T) network.The performance of the USB network extension will be limited to the slowest link between the
local and the remote extender.
Some networks may be configured to block devices with unfamiliar MAC addresses. If this is the case, you will need to provide
your network administrator the MAC addresses of the local and remote extender units.These can be found on the label on the
bottom of each unit.
Some networks may be configured to block devices that consume a consistently high level of bandwidth.
The RG2304N/2304S/2304GE-LAN may exhibit this behaviour when high bandwidth devices are connected.
Consult with your network administrator to resolve this issue.
Units will be pre-paired with each other if they were sold together in the same box as a system. If local and remote
extender modules are puchased separately, in bulk or are not paired, follow the instructions provided in the section
for pairing a local and remote extender.
Increasing the number of switches between the local and remote extender may reduce the available bandwidth
and as a result prevent some devices from functioning properly.

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 remote extender.
3. Check that the device is detected and installed properly in the operating system.
Pairing the Local and Remote Extender
When bought as a complete system that consists of both a local extender and a remote extender, the
RG2304N/2304S/2304GE-LAN extenders will be paired with each other out of the box, so no pairing action
should be required. However, if extenders are bought individually, individual extenders have been installed,
or you simply wish to change the local and remote extender pairings across a network, then the following
steps must be taken:
The following steps apply to both direct connect and network connect configurations for the RG2304N/2304S/2304GE-LAN.
1. Ensure the local and remote extenders are either directly connected to each other, or are connected
to the same subnet on your network.
2. Press and hold the Mode button on the back of the local extender. Release the button within
10 seconds. The Link LED will start flashing. Pairing mode has been activated on the local extender.
3. Within 10 minutes of activating the pairing mode on the local extender, press and hold the Mode
button on the back of the remote extender. Release this button within 10 seconds. The Link LED
will start flashing. Pairing mode has been activated on the remote extender.
4. The Link LED on both units may start flashing more slowly before finally turning on. Once the Link
LEDs are solid, the link is established between both extenders.
If more than 10 minutes passes before the units are paired, then the extenders will switch back to regular mode and
reestablish the previous links they had, if any.
To cancel pairing mode, press and hold the ‘Mode’ button a second time. Release it within 10 seconds.
Unpairing an Extender
If for any reason an extender needs to have its pairing removed, this can be done by pressing and holding
the Mode button for longer than 10 seconds. Once this is completed the unit will not be paired to any other
extender.
Compatibility
The USB 2.0 RG2304 Series complies with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications governing the design of USB
devices. However, there is no guarantee that all USB devices or hosts will be compatible, as there are a
number of different characteristics that may impact the operation of USB devices over extended distances.

Technical Glossary
Category 5e/6/7 (CAT 5e/6/7) Network Cabling
Category 5e/6/7 cable is commonly also referred to as CAT 5e or CAT 6 or CAT 7.This cabling is available
in either solid or stranded twisted pair copper wire variants and as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or STP
(Shielded Twisted Pair). UTP cables are not surrounded by any shielding making them more susceptible to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). STP cables include shielding around the conductors and provide better
protection against EMI.
USB 2.0 Cables
USB 2.0 cables have two distinct full-sized connectors.The Type A connector is used to connect the cable
from a USB device to the Type A port on a computer or hub.The Type B connector is used to attach the USB
cable to a USB device.
RJ45
The Registered Jack (RJ) physical interface is what connects the network cabling (CAT 5e/6/7) to the Local
Extender unit and Remote Extender unit.You may use either the T568A scheme (Table 1) or the T568B
scheme (Table 2) for cable termination as the USB 2.0 RG2304N/2304GE-LAN requires all four pairs of the
cable. RJ45 connectors are sometimes also referred to as 8P8C connectors. Note that any given cable must
be terminated using the same T568 scheme on both ends to operate correctly.
