  • Page 5: 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 RipEX2 are used in an appropriate manner within a well‐constructed network. RipEX2 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 6: Quick Guide

    RipEX2 default IP is 192.168.169.169/24, so set a static IP 192.168.169.x/24 on your PC, power on the RipEX2 and wait approximately 48 seconds for the RipEX2 OS to boot. Connect your PC to RipEX2s' ETH interface, start your browser and type https://192.168.169.169 in the address line.
  • Page 7 Your PC will get its IP settings from the built-in DHCP server and you have to type http://10.9.8.7 in your browser. Remaining steps are the same and you do not need to worry about other RipEX2'es, since you will be connected to the local unit in all cases.

    Step-by-step guide 3.3. Connecting RipEX2 to a programming PC To configure a RipEX2 you can connect it to your PC in three ways: 1. Using the external Wifi adapter 2. Using the external ETH/USB adapter 3. Directly over the Ethernet interface https://10.9.8.7...
  • Page 34 We recommend using the "W1" - external Wifi adapter (an optional accessory of the RipEX2). Connect your PC or tablet or smart phone to RipEX2 Wifi AP first. Its default SSID is “RipEX2 + 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 42: Antenna Installation

    Use 50 Ω impedance cables only. The shorter the feed line, the better. If RipEX2 is installed close to antenna, the data cable can be re- placed by an Ethernet cable for other protocols utilizing the serial port, see Advanced Configuration, Terminal server.

  • Page 43: Grounding

    The RipEX2 radio modem is generally considered adequately grounded if the supplied flat mounting brackets are used to mount the radio modem to a properly grounded metal surface. If the radio modem is not mounted to a grounded surface, you should attach a safety ground wire to one of the mounting brackets or a screw on the radio modem’s casing.

  • Page 44: Power Supply

    Installation 4.6. Power supply We do not recommend switching on the RipEX2’s power supply before connecting the antenna and other devices. Connecting the RTU and other devices to RipEX2 while powered increases the likelihood of damage due to the discharge of difference in electric potentials.
