RipEX2-HS serves as a redundant station equipped with two standard RipEX2 radio modems using a
hot standby functionality. All you have to do to put it into operation is to connect properly all connectors
and configure internal RipEX2 units using a PC and a web browser.

Fig. 1: RipEX2-HS

RipEX2 access defaults: IP 192.168.169.169/24, username: admin, password:

admin or

IP 10.9.8.7

when accessing over the optional 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.

When accessing over Ethernet, set a static IP 192.168.169.x/24 on your PC first, connect your PC to
RipEX2 ETH interface, start your browser and type https://192.168.169.169 in the address line. When
accessing RipEX2 for the first time and using https, you have to accept the https security certificate
issued by RACOM.

Note

Both RipEX2 units are in factory default settings.
