Router - Base Driven, Configuration Example - RACOM RipEX User Manual

Remote RipEX 1 transmits the packet. If the Base RipEX successfully receives the packet, it sends an
acknowledgement and then the Remote RipEX1 clears the packet from the queue. A part of the relation
includes a hand over of information about the number of packets waiting in the queue.
Step 4
RTU2 is connected to Remote RipEX2 behind Repeater RipEX1, which manages all communication
between the Base RipEX and Remote RipEX2.

2.3.7. Router - Base driven, Configuration example

As already mentioned, RipEX works as a standard IP router with two independent interfaces: Radio
and ETH. Each interface has its own MAC address, IP address and mask.
When Base driven protocol is used, Radio IP addresses for all RipEX units must share the same IP
subnet.
The Base driven protocol routing table for each Remote RipEX can be simplified to a default gateway
route rule directed to Base RipEX Radio IP. Only one record with respective IP address/mask combin-
ation for each remote station is needed in the Base RipEX routing table.
The repeaters are not considered in routing in Base driven protocol. Each Remote RipEX uses its own
Radio IP address as a gateway in the routing table of the Base RipEX.
See chapter Advanced Configuration/ Settings/ Radio/ Base driven for more.

For those accustomed to using the Flexible Radio protocol:
Settings for radios connected over a repeater differ considerably in Base driven protocol.
