RipEX2 is a widely configurable compact radio modem, more precisely a radio IP router. All you have
to do to put it into operation is to connect it to an antenna and a power supply and configure it using a
PC (tablet, smartphone) and a web browser.

to a network.
To configure RipEX2 you can connect it to your PC in three ways:
PC (tablet, smartphone) connected via WiFi adapter
External WiFi adapter Part No. OTH-USB/WIFI-W2 (an optional accessory of the RipEX2 see

) needs to be used. Any other adapter will not work correctly when connected to
RipEX2 unit. Connect your PC, tablet or smartphone to RipEX2 WiFi AP first. Its default SSID is
RipEX2 S/N. By default, the WPA2 PSK is disabled, so no password is required. The WiFi adapter
contains a built-in DHCP server, so if you have a DHCP client in your PC (as most users do), you
do not need to set anything up. The default IP address of RipEX2 unit, for access over the ETH/USB
adapter, is 10.9.8.7.
