Radio modem RipEX-HS

for boats

RipEX-HS is a hot standby master station, 1+1 redundant, fully monitored, hot swappable equipment. It is assembled with two standard RipEX units, each powered by its own independent power supply. A controller takes care of automatic changeover in case of failure. Changeover conditions are widely configurable. Since both units are booted and use identical MAC addresses, exceptional switch-over time of less than 2s is achieved. Fully redundant option (RipEX2-RD) without any controller and switching is available for RipEX2. Redundant connection of connected technology and redundant antennas are mandatory whereas they are optional for RipEX2-HS. LED panels, HW alarm outputs, SNMP traps and standard RipEX units inside makes RipEX-HS configuration and control quite easy and maintenance can be done by anyone familiar with RipEX. Features Functionality There are two standard RipEX units with identical configurations inside RipEX-HS. Both units are booted, however only one is active. The interfaces – Ethernet, COM, (SFP), Antenna of the second unit are disconnected. When the active unit status changes to “down” (when a controlled value exceeds the respective threshold), the controller automatically switches all interfaces to the second unit and it takes over all functions. Since both units are using the same MAC addresses (MAC cloning), there is a minimal drop-out while switching, less than 2s. Possible controlled values are: RSS, DQ, TXLost[ – lost packets on Radio channel, Ucc – power voltage, Temp – inside temperature, PWR – RF power, VSWR – reflected RF power, ETH[Rx/Tx], COM1[Rx/Tx], COM2[Rx/Tx] – No of received/transmitted packets on respective interfaces
