Page 7: Important Notice
Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors), or be totally lost. Significant delays or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the RipEX are used in an appropriate manner within a well‐constructed network. RipEX should not be used in situations where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party, including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property.
Page 8: Getting Started
RipEX default IP is 192.168.169.169/24, so set a static IP 192.168.169.x/24 on your PC, power on the RipEX and wait approximately 48 seconds for the RipEX OS to boot. Connect your PC to RipEXs' ETH interface, start your browser and type https://192.168.169.169 in the address line.
Page 9 Calculate and estimate the network throughput and response times when loaded by your application. Perform a bench-test with 3-5 sets of RipEX's and SCADA equipment (Chapter 5, Bench test). Design the addressing and routing scheme of the network (Chapter 2, RipEX in detail and RipEX App notes, Address planing Preconfigure all RipEX's (Section 5.4, “Basic setup”).
Page 10: Ripex - Radio Router
Any unit can serve as the central master, repeater, remote terminal, or all of these simultaneously, with a configuration interface easily accessible from a web browser. Anybody with even basic knowledge of IP networking can set up a RipEX within a matter of minutes and maintain the network quite easily.

2. RipEX in detail 2.1. Modes of operation Radio modem RipEX is best suited for transmission of a large number of short messages where a guaranteed delivery time is required, i.e. for mission critical applications. RipEX has the following basic uses: •...
Page 15 RF spectrum from extra load which would be otherwise generated by local traffic in the LAN (the LAN to which the respective ETH interface is connected). One has to be very careful when RipEX in Bridge mode is connected to LAN, because all LAN traffic is then broadcast to the Radio channel.
Page 16 Packet is received by RipEX1 and FEP’s RipEX. Step 6 FEP’s RipEX sends the packet (the reply from RTU3) to FEP through COM1. RipEX1 sends this packet to RTU1. RTU1 doesn’t react, because the packet is addressed to FEP.
Page 17: Bridge Mode Example
You can see an example of IP addresses of the SCADA equipment and RipEX's ETH interfaces in the picture below. In Bridge mode, the IP address of the ETH interface of RipEX is not relevant for user data communic- ation. However it is strongly recommended to assign a unique IP address to each RipEXs' ETH interface, since it allows for easy local as well as remote service access.
Page 18 RPT1 is out of the range of the remote radio modem. This can be achieved for CEN RPT1 RPT2 REM example by reducing the output power or using a unidirectional antenna. Coverage area RipEX Radio modem & Router – © RACOM s.r.o.
Page 19: Router Mode
2.3. Router mode RipEX works as a standard IP router with two interfaces (radio and ethernet) and two COM port devices. There is a sophisticated anti-collision protocol on the radio channel, which checks and verifies every single packet. Being an IP router, each unit can simultaneously work as a store-and-forward repeater and deliver packets to the connected equipment.
Page 20 CRC checks to guarantee data delivery and integrity even under harsh interference conditions on the radio channel. RipEX works as a standard IP router with 2 independent interfaces: radio and ETH. Each interface has its own MAC address, IP address and mask.
Page 21 Radio IP addresses of the RipEX’s required to communicate over the radio channel must share the same IP network. We recommend planning your IP network so that every RipEX is connected to a separate sub-network over the ethernet port. This helps to keep the routing tables clear and simple.
Page 22: Addressing
The “Addressing” image shows a routing table next to every RipEX. The routing table defines the next gateway for each IP destination. In radio transmission, the radio IP of the next radio-connected RipEX serves as the gateway.
Page 23: Optimised Addressing
More specifically, every group of IP addresses of devices (both RipEX's and SCADA), which is accessed via a repeater, should fall in a range which can be defined by a mask and no address defined by that mask exists in different part of the network.
Page 24: Serial Scada Protocols
When a UDP datagram reaches its final IP destination, it should be in a RipEX router again (either its ETH or radio interface). It is processed further according its UDP port. Either it is delivered to COM1(2)
Page 25: Combination Of Ip And Serial Communication
RipEX, user data extracted from the TCP messages and processed as if it came from a COM port. When the data reaches the destination RipEX, it can be transferred to the RTU either via the serial interface or via TCP (UDP), using the terminal server again.
Page 26: Diagnostics & Network Management
2.6.1. Logs There are ‘Neighbours’ and Statistic logs in RipEX. For both logs there is a history of 20 log files available, so the total history of saved values is 20 days (assuming the default value of 1440 min. is used as the Log save period).
Page 27: Firmware Update And Upgrade
COM1, COM2), some internal interfaces between software modules (e.g. Terminal servers, Modus TCP server etc.) can be monitored when such advanced diagnostics is needed. Monitoring output can be viewed on-line or saved to a file in the RipEX (e.g. a remote RipEX) and downloaded later.
Page 28: Software Feature Keys
• For evaluation and testing, Time-limited keys can be supplied. These keys activate the coded feature for a limited operational (power on) time only. Free Master-key trial for 30 days is in every RipEX. • Software keys are always tied to a specific RipEX production code.

The following paragraphs are not a guide to network planning – that is a topic far beyond the scope of a product manual. What is provided is the essential RipEX data needed plus some comments on common problems which should be addressed during the planning process.
Page 30: Frequency
This band requires planning the network in “microwave” style. Hops longer than about 1 km have to have “almost” clear LOS (Line-of-sight). Of course a 2–5 km link can handle one high building or a RipEX Radio modem & Router – © RACOM s.r.o.

Page 32 A field test may help again, provided it is run for longer period of time (hours-days). RipEX diagnostic tools (ping) report the mean deviation of the RSS, which is a good indication of the signal stability. A multiple of the mean deviation should be added to the fade margin.

“it” does not work. That is why RipEX reports the, somewhat mystic, figure of DQ (Data Quality) alongside the RSS. The software demodulator uses its own metrics to assess the level of distortion of the incoming signal and produces a single number in one-byte range (0–255), which is proportionate to the “quality”...

We have to remember our hop has two ends, i.e. the solution may be to change antenna or its placement at the opposite end. If everything fails, it is better to use another site as a repeater. Even if such prob- RipEX Radio modem & Router – © RACOM s.r.o.
Page 35: Network Layout
Unfortunately for RF network designers, the real world is seldom that simple. The conditions desireable for every single radio hop were discussed in previous paragraphs. If we are lucky, assuming different layouts meeting those conditions are possible, we should exploit those layouts © RACOM s.r.o. – RipEX Radio modem & Router...
Page 36: Dominant Repeater - Straightforward Layout
So, make sure you give your RiPEX repeaters the chance to communicate in a reasonable RF environment. Sometimes a different layout can significantly reduce the vulnerability of a radio network.
Page 37: Hybrid Networks
If an extensive area needs to be covered and multiple retranslation would be uneconomical or unsuitable, RipEX’s can be interconnected via any IP network (WLAN, Internet, 3G, etc.). This is quite simple be- cause RipEX is a standard IP router with an ethernet interface. Consequently interconnecting two or more RipEX's over a nested IP network is a standard routing issue and the concrete solution depends on that network.

RipEX’s serial ports should be DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and a straight-through cable should be used. If a DCE device is connected to the RipEX‘s serial ports, a null modem adapter or cross cable has to be used.

Any other file system will be simply ignored by the RipEX. When in doubt, consult your IT expert. Once the RipEX recognizes a flash disc inserted into the USB interface, the status LED starts blinking slowly, alternating red and green colors. That indicates the start of the upload/download of files. The LED flashing may change during the process, the successful completion of the recording is indicated by fast alternating green and red flashes (about 3 times per second).
Page 48: Reset Button
Note To reset the RipEX only use the RESET button as described above or use the button in RipEX’s web configuration, see Adv. Conf., Maintenance. Never use a power cycling (dis- connecting and reconnecting power supply) to reset it. While power cycle resets, or rather reboots the RipEX, its software will not terminate correctly resulting in logs, statistics and graphs not being saved properly.

We recommend using the "W1" - external Wifi adapter (an optional accessory of the RipEX). Connect your PC or tablet or smart phone to RipEX Wifi AP first. Its default SSID is “RipEX + Unit name + S/N”. The W1 contains a built-in DHCP server, so if you have a DHCP client in your PC (as most users do), you don’t need to set anything up.
Page 76: Pc Address Setting
Fig. 5.3: PC address setting Important When you change the RipEX ETH address from the default value later on and the new IP network does not include the default one, you will have to change your PC's static IP again to be able to continue configuring the RipEX.

To test radio communication between the RipEX’s you can use the Ping test, under Diagnostic/Ping menu. Setting up and the output of this test are described in chapter Adv. Conf., Tools. If the radio communication between RipEX’s is functional, you can proceed with a test of communication between the connected devices.

Note: Note: Max. RF power for RipEX-470 is 8 W. (Even if there was 10W in list box for fw ver. 1.3.x.x and older)
Page 103 E.g. when there are many remotes behind a single repeater, packets on the most loaded hop between the repeater and the central unit get very efficiently compressed. Note: when there is only one direction traffic, there should be also routing for ETH IP addresses set in RipEX routing tables to make stream compression effective.

Page 107 Terminal servers 1-5 (TS1-TS5) or Modbus TCP (TCPM1) can be used or UDP port can be set manually. If the destination IP address belongs to a RipEX and the UDP port is not assigned to COM1(2) or to a Terminal server or to any special daemon running in the destin- ation RipEX, the packet is discarded.
Page 108 If On, up to 5 independent Terminal servers can be set up. Each one can be either of TCP or UDP Type, Inactivity is the timeout in sec for which the TCP socket in RipEX is kept active after the last data reception or transmission, My IP address of a Terminal server has to be always the same as the IP address of the RipEX ETH interface, My Port can be set as required.
Page 109 • TCP Inactivity [s] Default = 120 Timeout in sec for which the TCP socket in RipEX is kept active after the last data reception or transmission. • IP address or interval of IP addresses (e.g.: 192.168.20.20 – 192.168.20.26) for which the TCP/UDP conversion is done.
Page 110 (i.e. the default gateway cannot be configured), the narrowest possible subnet should be configured on the respective Eth interface of the RipEX connected to it and the ARP proxy switched on. The RipEX then answers ARP requests for all IP addresses routed to its radio interface. Corresponding settings can be used in the RipEX connected to the central application device, thus enabling the routed RipEX network to act as a direct (V)LAN connection for such devices.
Page 111 ○ Priority List box: possible values Default = 0 Fixed priority can be assigned to a VLAN frame which is created in outgoing RipEX. Note: Priority Code Point (PCP): a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority. It indicates the frame priority level.

Page 115 Router mode), however they are not acknowledged on Ethernet. When the UDP datagram reaches its final IP destination, it should be in a RipEX router again (either its ETH or Radio interface). It is processed further according its UDP port. It can be delivered to COM1(2) port daemon, where the datagram is decapsulated and the data received on the serial interface of the source unit are forwarded to COM1(2).
Page 116 Some Master SCADA units sends broadcast messages to all Slave units. SCADA application typically uses a specific address for such messages. RipEX (Protocol utility) converts such message to a customized IP broadcast and broadcasts it to all RipEX units resp. to all SCADA units within the network.
Page 117 Messages from serial interface are processed in similar way as at Master site, i.e. they are encap- sulated in UDP datagrams, processed by router inside the RipEX and forwarded to the respective interface, typically to Radio channel.
Page 118 C24 is a serial polling-type communication protocol used in Master-Slave applications. When a RipEX radio network runs in the Router mode, multiple C24 Masters can be used within one Radio network and one Slave can be polled by more than one Master.
Page 119 Comli Comli is a serial polling-type communication protocol used by Master-Slave application. When RipEX radio network run in Router mode, more Comli Masters can be used within one Radio network and one Slave can be polled by more Masters. Broadcasts packets are not used, so the configuration is using only some parameters described Common parameters.
Page 120 Each frame in the DNP3 protocol contains the source and destination addresses in its header, so there is no difference between Master and Slave in terms of the RipEX configuration. The DNP3 allows both Master-Slave polling as well as spontaneous communication from remote units.
Page 121 Advanced Configuration ○ Address mode Even if IEC 870-5-101 is the standard, there are some users which customized this standard according their needs. When addressed byte has been moved, RipEX has to read it on the correct location. ■ IEC101 Address byte location according to IEC 870-5-101 standard.
Page 122 Modbus Modbus RTU is a serial polling-type communication protocol used by Master-Slave application. When RipEX radio network run in Router mode, more Modbus Masters can be used within one Radio network and one Slave can be polled by more Masters.
Page 123 When the RB response from the slave to this RB packet is not received over the Radio channel within the set RB timeout, i.e. the respective slave is out of order, the central RipEX stops local answering to RB packets from the master for the respective slave.
Page 124 RB Response timeout [ms] Default = 500 (maximum=8190) The RipEX expects a response to the RB packet within the set timeout. If it is not received, the RipEX does not respond to RB packets from the Master received over the Radio channel.
Page 125 RipEX checks (calculates itself) this byte while receiving a packet on COM. RipEX transmits DLE (accepts the frame) only when the check result is OK. BCC byte is not transferred over the RipEX network, it is calculated locally in the end RipEX and appended to the received data.
Page 126 UNI is the "Universal" protocol utility designed by RACOM. It is supposed to be used when the applic- ation protocol is not in the RipEX list and the addressed mode of communication is preferable in the network (which is a typical scenario). The key condition is that messages generated by the Master application device always contain the respective Slave address and that address (or its relevant part) position, relative to the beginning of the message (packet, frame), is always the same (Address position).

Page 128: Routing
Routing table is active only when Router mode (Settings/Device/Operating mode) is set. In such a case RipEX works as a standard IP router with 2 independent interfaces: Radio and ETH. Each interface has its own MAC address, IP address and Mask. IP packets are then processed according the Routing table.
Page 129 Routes Destination, Mask, Gateway Each IP packet, received by RipEX through any interface (Radio, ETH, COM1 or COM2), has got a destination IP address. RipEX (router) forwards the received packet either directly to the destination IP address or to the respective Gateway, according to the Routing table. Any Gateway has to be within the network defined by IP and Mask of one of the interfaces (Radio, ETH), otherwise the packet is discarded.
Page 130 Advanced Configuration Backup RipEX is capable to test path between two RipEX IP addresses (even behind a repeater or LAN). When the connection fails, RipEX automatically uses alternative gateway(s) defined in the Alternative paths column with the priority according to the line sequence. The system always tries to use the route with the highest priority, e.g.
Page 131 Note 2: When Optimization (Settings/Radio/Optimization) is “On”, UDP packets with both source and destination port 8886 are not transferred over the network, they are discarded in end RipEX. UDP packets with source port 8903 are not optimized, even if Optimization is “On”.
