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-HS are used in an appropriate manner within a well‐constructed network. RipEX2-HS 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. -

USB/ETH adapter or Wifi adapter. Power on the RipEX2-HS and wait approx. for 25 seconds for the RipEX2 OS to boot. When accessing over the optional USB/ETH adapter or Wifi adapter, your PC will get its IP settings from the built-in DHCP server and you have to type https://10.9.8.7 in your browser. -
Page 7: Ripex2 Hot Standby
1. RipEX2 Hot Standby 1.1. Introduction RipEX2-HS is designed to be used on critical sites, where high stress on HW reliability is required – typically master or repeater stations. It is hot standby, 1+1 redundant, fully monitored, hot swappable equipment. -
Page 8: Ripex2-Hs In Detail
(MAC cloning), there is a minimal drop-out while switching, less than 2 s. When RipEX2 units inside RipEX2-HS are in Bridge mode, the first switch-over takes approx. 30 s. It is because hot standby RipEX2 ARP table is clear and has to be filled with first packets (forward delay). -

- it will be switched back to Primary unit immediately (the protective timeout of 30 s will be held for shorter HW alarm output changes) 2.5. HW alarms In order to achieve maximum reliability, the controller is software free. Switch-over is based only on HW alarm outputs of RipEX2 units and their power supplies. © RACOM s.r.o. – RipEX2-HS... -

Page 21: Power
There are also two independent power supplies with 36 to 60 V DC input voltage, one for each RipEX2 unit; input conductors are isolated from the rest of the RipEX2-HS and thus allows positive or negative grounding. The electric strength is 4 kV AC / 1 min. -
Page 22: Grounding
The grounding screw on the rear panel has to be properly connected to the grounding point of the rack. The minimal required copper conductor cross-section is 4 mm Fig. 4.5: RipEX2-HS grounding in a cabinet 4.4.

Settings 5. Settings Only the controller version of the RipEX2-HS is supported, where the controller manages the active and passive/standby RipEX2 units and their accessing to the shared channels (e.g. radio). The communication between individual RipEX2 units and HS controller use DI/DO interfaces, so other use of this interface is not possible. - Page 24 ETH (usually ETH1) interface. Note ETH1 addresses of both A and B units should be different, but in the same range as the virtual shared address (= together three different addresses in the same range). RipEX2-HS – © RACOM s.r.o.

- Check if MAC addresses are really identical for both active and inactive units 2. Automatic switch-over does not take place: - Make sure that A or B mode is not used, AUTO mode has to be used. © RACOM s.r.o. – RipEX2-HS... -
