    Ethernet ports The whole radio network build from RipEX2 radio modems behaves as a standard Ethernet bridge. An Ethernet bridge ("Network interface" in RipEX2) automatically learns which devices (MAC addresses) are located in the local LAN and which devices are accessible over the radio channel.
  • Page 36: Functionality Example

    The COM port needs to be Enabled and a Protocol needs to be selected to transfer any data. "Trans- parent" type of COM protocol is dedicated for Bridge mode purposes. This protocol transfers data between the COM port and the RipEX2 network transparently. Any other Protocol can be selected when needed.
  • Page 37 RipEX2 C and RipEX2 A send the received packet to their COM ports. Packet is addressed to RTU C, so only RTU C responds. RipEX2 A is set as a repeater, so it retransmits the packet on Radio channel. Packet is received by all RipEX2 units. Step 4 RipEX2 B sends repeated packet to its COM.
  • Page 38: Configuration Examples

    You can see an example of IP addresses of the SCADA equipment and RipEX2 ETH interfaces in the picture below. In Bridge mode, the IP address of the ETH interface of RipEX2 is not relevant for user data communic- ation. However it is strongly recommended to assign a unique IP address to each RipEX2 Network in- terface, since it allows for easy local as well as remote service access.
  • Page 39: Router Mode

    RipEX2 in detail 5.2. Router mode RipEX2 works as a standard IP router with multiple independent interfaces: Radio and Ethernets. Each interface has its own MAC address, IP address and mask. IP packets are processed according to routing table rules. You can also set the router’s default gateway (applies to both interfaces) in the routing table.
  • Page 40 As already mentioned, RipEX2 works as a standard IP router with multiple independent interfaces: Radio and Ethernets. Each interface has its own MAC address, IP address and mask. When Base driven protocol is used, Radio IP addresses for all RipEX2 units must share the same IP subnet.

    CSMA and TDMA; the Radio channel is deemed to be free when there is no noise, no interfering signals and no frames being transmitted by other RipEX2 stations. In this situation, a random selection of time slots follows and a frame is then transmitted on the Radio channel.
  • Page 43 RipEX2 1 receives this packet, checks data integrity and transmits the acknowledgement. At the same time packet is sent to RTU1 through COM. RipEX2 3 receives this packet too. It doesn’t react, because this packet is directed to RipEX2 1 only. Step 3 RipEX2 2 waits untill previous transaction on Radio channel is finished (anti-collision mechanism).
  • Page 44 Ethernet port. This helps to keep the routing tables clear and simple. Note Even if the IP addresses of all RipEX2 units in a radio channel share a single IP network, they may not be communicating directly as in a common IP network. Only the RipEX2 units that are within the radio range of each other can communicate directly.
  • Page 45 • Based on this record, all packets with addresses in the range from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.254 are routed to 10.10.10.1 • Because RipEX2 50’s radio IP is 10.10.10.50/24, the router can tell that the IP 10.10.10.1 belongs to the radio channel and sends the packet to that address over the radio channel •...

    5.3.1. Detailed Description Generally, a Terminal server (also referred to as Serial server) enables connection of devices with a serial interface to a RipEX2 over the local area network (LAN). It is a virtual substitute for the devices used as serial-to-TCP(UDP) converters.
