Need help interfacing VARA hf modem with Pinpoint


 

I have been using my licensed VARA hf modem with VarAC for some time. ?I have not been able to get the VARA modem to talk to Pinpoint. ?I have followed the set up instructions. ?Pinpoint works fine for showing stations via internet. ?However, no luck with radio positions. ?Both pinpoint and VARA kiss ports are set to 8100. ?When I click on ¡°Connect TNC¡±, I get an error message saying unable to connect. ?I suspect I am using the wrong up address. ?I used the default ip
127.0.0.1 and get the no connect message. ?I tried the ip of the PC that both VARA and Pinpoint are running on and still no connection. ?
I would appreciate any assistance.

That is the correct address to use. Make sure you are matching the KISS port of VARA with PinPoint. Make sure you have PinPoint set to "network KISS mode" and not something else. That's basically it.?


 

I finally found the problem. I was one digit off on the port number.? 127.0.0.1 port 8100 works fine .? Thanks for your patience.
