E-EQ-RX2RG-B RX2 Reference Guide
Chapter 1 Introduction
Overview
The LXE RX2 is a rugged, vehicle mounted, Microsoft
®
Windows
®
CE .NET equipped mobile
computer capable of wireless data communications and RFID tag reading and writing. The RX2
transmits information using a 2.4 GHz radio. The RX2 is a headless design (meaning no keyboard
or monitor is attached to the RX2). A USB connector and ActiveSync utility provide for the
configuration of the RX2.
The mounting bracket is designed for easy installation onto a Cascade
®
E or F series forklift
assembly.

Getting Started 5
E-EQ-RX2RG-B RX2 Reference Guide
Getting Started
Use this guide as you would any other source book – reading portions to learn about the device,
and then referring to it when you need more information about a particular subject. This guide
takes you through an introduction to and operation of the RX2.
Note: The RX2 is assembled with an optional internal battery pack (if ordered) and radio card
installed before shipment.
This section’s instructions are based on the assumption that your new system is pre-configured
and requires only a power source.
In general, the sequence of events is:
1. Mount the RX2 on the forklift truck.
2. Provide a power source for the RX2:
• Connect an external power source to the unit (if required).
-or-
• Use the optional internal battery pack (the internal battery pack, if ordered, must be
fully charged before use).
3. Flip the power switch to On (battery powered units only).
4. Observe the power LED. The power LED is On solid during the boot process. When booted,
the LED is flashing. The LED is green when battery power is good, red when battery power
is low.
5. Make any desired configuration changes.
Note: Do not connect a tethered scanner cable to a USB-C labeled port. This port cannot
power a tethered scanner.
Power Switch
The Power Switch is present only on RX2’s with an internal battery. All other RX2’s are always
On when DC power is connected.
Figure 1-3 Power Switch
The power switch is located on the side of the RX2. When the RX2 has a charged internal battery
or is connected to DC power, flipping the power switch to On turns on the RX2.
If a battery charger is connected to the RX2, the RX2 remains Off until the charger is disconnected
regardless of the position of the power switch.
6 Getting Started
RX2 Reference Guide E-EQ-RX2RG-B
Quick Configuration
1. Establish a USB ActiveSync connection and start ActiveSync Remote Display. See section
below or refer to “ActiveSync and the RX2” in Chapter 3, System Configuration for more
details.
2. Configure the RX2 Software Update Manager, if desired. See “Software Update Manager” in
Chapter 3, “System Configuration” for more details.
3. Make any desired changes in the Windows CE .NET Control Panel. Please refer to Chapter 3,
“System Configuration” for more information.
4. Configure the 802.11 radio. At a minimum the following items are required:
• Network SSID or ESSID number of the Access Point
• WEP or WPA Authentication Protocol Keys as necessary
Also see Chapter 5, “Wireless Network Configuration” for information on configuring the
802.11 radio.
ActiveSync – Initial Setup
The following instructions relate to initial setup of ActiveSync.
USB Connection
By default, the RX2 is configured for a USB connection. Once the RX2 has finished booting,
connect the ActiveSync cable to the RX2 and the PC.
** Cable for initial ActiveSync Configuration:
USB Client to PC/Laptop USB-Client cable MX3XA069CBLD9USBCLNT
ActiveSync starts automatically and establishes the connection between the RX2 and the PC.
The ActiveSync connection can be used to configure the RX2 using ActiveSync Remote Display
or to synchronize data between the RX2 and PC.
Configuration
It is necessary to use the ActiveSync connection and ActiveSync Remote Display to configure the
RX2.
Please refer to Chapter 3, “System Configuration” for information on ActiveSync Remote Display
and configuration options for the RX2.
Please refer to Chapter 5, “Wireless Network Configuration” for information on configuring the
RX2’s 802.11 radio.
Disconnect
Disconnect the cable from either the mobile device or the PC to end the ActiveSync session.
