OVERVIEW:
AGWPE is a Packet Engine program to interface TNC's and
Sound card to other software programs like Paclink and Telpac programs under
Winlink 2000.
DOWNLOAD:
EXTRACT:
The AGWPE setup file comes in "zip" format. So,
first create a new folder on your C: drive, and
then extract the zipped files into this folder.
INSTALL:
1. Use Windows File Explorer to go to the C:/AGWPE
folder. The main AGWPE program is named AGW Packet
Engine.exe. You should probably create a shortcut
Icon on your desktop for. Simply Right Click,
and select SEND TO >>
DESKTOP.
2. Now, go to your Desktop and Double Click the AGWPE
Icon. It should bring up the license agreement, and you should click Accept.
3. The program does not open into full screen mode,
but rather places a Tower Icon in the lower right
Task Bar.
Left or Right
Click the Tower Icon to bring up AGWPE's pop-up
menu. Select Properties, and on the
next pop-up select New Port.
4. You will then see the main TNC screen shown
below:
| A. Select your COM
Port.
B. Select Speed (Baud Rate)
for the PC to communicate to the TNC (suggest leave at 9600)
C. Select your TNC
type.
D. The program should default the Kiss
Mode and the IniKiss
Commands.
Note that if you are
using a KPC-3 the Defaults shown under the TNC Commands are not
correct. For a KPC-3 Delete
the IniKiss1,
and change IniKiss2
to INTFACE KISS |
 |
The options under the Tnc Commands tab should normally be
left at their defaults, so click the OK button.
You will then see a small pop-up telling you that AGWPE must be restarted.
To do so, go to the lower right Task
Bar and click the Tower Icon. Select EXIT.
Once the Tower Icon is gone, go back to the main Desktop
screen and Double Click the AGWPE Icon.
This time when the program opens you will see both a Tower Icon and a Modem
Icon -- and it will have blinking Red and Green LED's when sending and
Receiving.
At this point the AGWPE Packet Engine should be working,
and ready for use by the other programs. Setup for a sound card is very
similar, where "Sound Card" becomes the TNC Type.
