7.1.1. Generally
RipEX can be easily managed from your computer using any web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft
Internet Explorer, etc.). If there is an IP connection between the computer and the respective RipEX,
you can simply enter the IP address of any RipEX in the network directly in the browser address line
and log in. However it is not recommended to manage an over-the-air connected RipEX in this way,
because high amounts of data would have to be transferred over the Radio channel, resulting in quite
long response times.
When you need to manage an over-the-air connected RipEX, log-in to a RipEX, which your computer
is connected to using either a cable (via LAN) or a high speed WAN (e.g. Internet). The RipEX which
you are logged-in to in this way is called Local. Then you can manage any remote RipEX in the network
over-the-air in a throughput-saving way: all the static data (e.g. Web page graphic objects) is downloaded
from the Local RipEX and only information specific to the remote unit is transferred over the Radio
channel. RipEX connected in this way is called Remote.
When in Router mode, the IP address of either the Radio or Ethernet interface in the remote unit can
be used for such remote management. IP routing between source (IP of ETH interface in Local RipEX)
and destination IP (either Radio or ETH interface in Remote RipEX) has to exist.
When in Bridge mode, IP addresses of Ethernet interfaces are used for both the Local and Remote
units. Be careful, each RipEX MUST have its unique IP address and all these IP addresses have to
be within the same IP network (defined by the IP Mask) when remote management is required in Bridge
mode.
