I've been using DW for some time now configured with a single channel and a single radio.? If I want to switch between APRS and WINLINK, I have to quit that application and change my radio frequency.

I would like to build/configure DW to have multiple channels with multiple radios attached, but operate independently.? I don't want APRS beacons to go out all channels and the same for WINLINK sessions.

How do I configure DW for such operation?

More importantly, how do I tell the client applications to use certain ports?

(I'm using DW 1.7b on a RPi 4 with a 7" LCD touch display.? Device 1 is an Alinco RIM-9600 and Device 2 is an Audio Injector Zero)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Robert,

? Thanks for the assistance.? When I configure my DW as described, I get this result:
(Note:? This is only a test setup. Not on the air yet.)

? Looks like AGWPORT can only listen to and respond to one port/radio.

So, you have 2 physical sound cards you are using and 3 radios?
Device 0 (ADevice) appears to be plug1,0 and is connected to settings of AChannel 0.
Device 1 (ADevice1) appears to be stereo and connected to 2 radios for AChannel2 2 & 3?

I wasn't really using AGW, so can't be sure, but I thought I had separate ports for each ADevice.??
My setup had a single channel on each device (neither device was stereo).
That particular setup has been reconfigured and at home.? I'll have to set it back up and try it this evening.

Well, I found a Pi here at work and had a uSD with the needed configuration.
I tried this and it worked as discussed.

NOTE:??/g/direwolf/message/4925?
? ?This message says that AGW is only 1 port, but TCP/IP can be split between devices.

Well...? Looks like that did the trick.? I got WINLINK and YAAC to operate independently on the same RPi DW (server) using KISS TCP.? Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Hello I am new to this group.? I tried this in the beta release 1.7 and when I run Direolf I only see my channel 2 ports?

In short :
ADEVICE? plughw:1,0
ACHANNELS 1

The question is what are you seeing your CHANNEL 2 port with?
Since you have defined different KISS and AGW ports for each interface, you need to connect to both 8001 and 8003 (or 8100 and 8101) at the same time, in order to see both channel's data.

I suggest testing with only a single AGW and KISS port.? Make sure it is working.? Then (if needed) split the ports.

Separate ports (as you have it):
KISSPORT 8101 2

Comment both out, and add (note the channel is missing, so both will be on the same port)

Thank you.??

I have tried various things.? It appears that it will only recognize the 2nd set of listed ports,? the first set gets ignored.? It doesn't matter what number they are assigned.? ? ?

My ultimate goal is to add an HF radio to my current VHF linBPQ node using 1 RPI and 2 signalinks (or Signalink and digirig).??

Hello Greg,

When you say you only see your "channel 2 ports", what do you mean?? Is it because you don't see the specific AGW and KISSTCP ports that correlate to your "channel 2" actually applied to channel 2?

I see two things going on here:

?? #1 - You didn't show your entire configuration but your AGWPORT and KISSTCP lines seem to be configured under the ADEVICE1:CHANNEL2 area.? Try moving the first set of AGWPORT and KISSTCP lines to be under ADEVICE0:CHANNEL0

?? #2 - While maybe it's not a hard bug, I would argue that Direwolf is applying your CHANNEL 2 port numbers to CHANNEL 0 based on how you configured things.? I think this could be handled better.

?? #3 - It's not clear what applications you're trying to interface via KISSTCP or AGW but both protocols support the concept of which "radio port" to use.? This should be supported by your application.? For example, for Outpost Packet Manager for Windows - page 2 ( ), there is the "TNC radio port" field.? The same goes for KISSTCP.? See the source code comments below.

?? #4 - GAP: Looking at the source code, Direwolf AGW doesn't support fixed "channel" assignments like you're trying to configuring things but I don't think it's required.? The Direwolf User Guide should be more clear about this.?
All that said, I think Direwolf will do what you want but you just shouldn't try to hardcode the "channels" in the AGW or KISSTCP stanzas of the direwolf.conf file:

src/config.c
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*
?* AGWPORT????????????? - Port number for "AGW TCPIP Socket Interface"
?*
?* In version 1.2 we allow 0 to disable listening.
?*/
// FIXME:? complain if extra parameter e.g. port as in KISSPORT? <-------------------------------------------------------------


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*
?* KISSPORT port [ chan ]?????????????? - Port number for KISS over IP? <-----------------------------------------------
?*/

??????? // Previously we allowed only a single TCP port for KISS.
??????? // An increasing number of people want to run multiple radios.
??????? // Unfortunately, most applications don't know how to deal with multi-radio TNCs.
??????? // They ignore the channel on receive and always transmit to channel 0.
??????? // Running multiple instances of direwolf is a work-around but this leads to
??????? // more complex configuration and we lose the cross-channel digipeating capability.
??????? // In release 1.7 we add a new feature to assign a single radio channel to a TCP port.
??????? // e.g.
??????? //????? KISSPORT 8001?????????? # default, all channels.? Radio channel = KISS channel.
??????? //
??????? //????? KISSPORT 7000 0???????? # Only radio channel 0 for receive.
??????? //????????????????????????????? # Transmit to radio channel 0, ignoring KISS channel.
??????? //
??????? //????? KISSPORT 7001 1???????? # Only radio channel 1 for receive.? KISS channel set to 0.
??????? //????????????????????????????? # Transmit to radio channel 1, ignoring KISS channel.

Thank you all.? I did get it to work with direwolf 1.7 and help from the code's author John.
I commented out the AWGports because I am not using them.??

my conf file is:

I'm a little late to the info party, but I was told a while ago that you can only have one AGWPORT and it's only assigned to channel 0.

But you can have multiple KISSPORTS and have them assigned to their respective channels.
