AGWPE

AGW Packet Engine protocol interface for legacy software

The AGWPE (AGW Packet Engine) interface provides compatibility with Windows packet radio software that speaks the AGW protocol. This is a single-instance TCP server that supports multiple simultaneous clients and up to four radio ports.

Port Mapping

AGWPE supports up to four radio ports (numbered 0–3). Each port is mapped to a callsign specified in the callsigns field. The order determines the port number:

callsigns: "N0CALL,N0CALL-5,N0CALL-10"
# Port 0 → N0CALL
# Port 1 → N0CALL-5
# Port 2 → N0CALL-10

Supported Frame Types

Graywolf implements the AGWPE protocol subset needed for packet radio operations:

• Monitor frames — receive decoded AX.25 packets
• Unproto frames — transmit UI (unnumbered information) packets
• Raw frames — send and receive raw AX.25 data
• Connected-mode sessions — call out to a remote station, with or without digipeaters, and exchange data over the link. Clients such as Paracon, AGWTerm and EasyTerm can use graywolf as their TNC for BBS and node access.

Connected Mode

Connected mode is outbound only. Your AGWPE client can raise a link to a remote station, but an incoming call from the air is not handed to AGWPE clients.
