RipEX-HS is designed to be used on critical sites, where high stress on HW reliability is required – typically master or repeater stations. It is hot standby, 1+1 redundant, fully monitored, hot swappable equipment.
RipEX-HS is assembled with 2 standard RipEX units, each powered by its independent power supply. Controller takes care of the automatic changeover in case of failure. Changeover conditions are widely configurable. Since both units are hot-stand-by and use identical MAC addresses, an exceptional switch-over time of less than 2s is reached.
LED panels, Mode buttons, HW alarm outputs, SNMP traps and standard RipEX units inside make RipEX-HS configuration and control quite easy and maintenance can be done by anyone familiar with RipEX .
Power can be backed-up using RipEX-HSB battery pack, individual 19″ rack 3U box. There are separate batteries for RipEX “A” and “B” power supplies which allows approx. 10 hours of RipEX-HS operation.
