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.
The HW switch (mode selector) has to be set to AUTO position for switching between units, otherwise
the selected unit remains active even if an error occurs on the selected one.
AUTO regime allows switching to the standby unit when an error status occur in active unit – if both
units are without alarms, the A unit will be active.
