Installation & Configuration of the AGW Packet Engine

 

1. Installation

Unzip agwpe.zip and agwpe_drivers.zip in a folder in you Harddisk.

 

2. Starting the AGW Packet Engine

Click on the Icon AGW Packet Engine.

Then you will see a Icon in the Taskbar.

 

3. Configure the AGW Packet Engine

In the following section the configuration of AGWPE for a 1k2 BayCom (PC-COM) Modem is explained. Be aware that BayCom (PC-COM) Modems do NOT work under WinNT, Win2000 and WinXP.

Click on the Icon in the taskbar. In the menu select properties.

In the RadioPort selection click on "New Port"

In the following Dialogbox press OK, then a new Window will open it self:



Here you must select the COM Port, 1200 BaudRate, Tnc Type " BayCom serial" and Tnc Sub Type "KISS Simple". "Tnc Commands" (at the very top) can be left by the default.
Then click OK. A Info Box tells you that you have to restart the AGWPE. Please do so.

After AGWPE has startet again you should see a small TNC very near the AGWPE-Icon in the task bar. This TNC displays the Modem. If you look at the TNC you can see that the LEDs are flashing when data is received and when data is transmitted.



This was the configuration of the AGW Packet Engine. The configuration for Soundcard or other Modems/TNCs is very similar to this. Just have a try!

4. Connect the AGW Packet-Engine to UI-View

UI-View can use every modem/TNC which is running with AGWPE. To connect the AGW Packet Engine to UI-View, do this:

- Start the AGW Packet Engine
- Start UI-View
- in UI-View: go "Setup" -> "Comms Setup"




- Select: "Hostmode" -> "AGW"



Then click "OK". Now UI-View runs together with AGWPE and can use it's modems/TNCs.

If you start up, please start the APW Packet Engine FIRST and then start UI-View.

 

An instruction on how to configure the rest of UI-View can be found here.
