Winlink via Radio

What we are going to cover tonight: - Winlink 2000 System - RMS Express

Winlink 2000: What is it? At a high level: - Winlink is a system that supports over radio. - It is used in the amateur radio service, government and non-government DHS Tiered services. - Winlink is free of charge.

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer Your computer is equipped with WL2K client software. A typical WL2K user’s station is composed of familiar components.

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer A typical WL2K user’s station is composed of familiar components. Data interfaces come in several types and radio protocols (modes) - Multimode controller - Terminal node controller (TNC) - Radio modem

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer Packet radio is a mode used mainly On UHF and VHF with FM. PACTOR is a mode used on HF for long-distance with SSB. A typical WL2K user’s station is composed of familiar components. Data interfaces come in several types and radio protocols (modes)

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer Computer sound cards can also be used as a low-cost data interface for a mode called WINMOR, on HF. A typical WL2K user’s station is composed of familiar components. Data interfaces come in several types and radio protocols (modes)

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer Of course, a transceiver and a good antenna are required for connecting with distant gateway stations over the airwaves. A typical WL2K user’s station is composed of familiar components.

Winlink 2000: What is it? The WL2K system has redundant, mirror-image servers connected together on the internet. We call them CMS or Common Message Servers. They are located well-apart around the world and any one of them can easily support the whole WL2K system if one or more should go offline. CMS Vienna Halifax Brentwood Perth San Diego CMS

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer The most simple way your station can connect to send and receive is by a direct connection on the internet. No data interface, radio or antenna is needed, but an internet connection and client software is needed. It makes no difference which CMS site is accessed. If one is offline, another answers. Internet

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Data Interface Computer The largest part of the WL2K system is made up of many, many, volunteer RMS or Radio Mail Server gateway stations. RMS gateway stations provide a pathway for your station to a CMS using radio connections. The RMS gateway is connected to the internet and CMS so you don’t have to! RMS Internet

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna VHF Radio Packet TNC Computer Over short range up to 30 miles, you use packet radio on UHF or VHF FM. The RMS gateway station you connect with is an RMS Packet gateway station. If you have a packet TNC and a nearby RMS Packet station you can use this method. RMS RMS Packet gateway VHF/UHF FM Internet

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna HF Radio Modem Computer You can use HF radio over both short and long distances. The RMS gateway station you connect with is an HF RMS gateway station. If you have an HF transceiver and a modem or sound card you can use this method. RMS RMS HF gateway HF frequencies Internet

Winlink 2000: What is it? Antenna Radio Modem Computer Your correspondents can be anywhere, and anyone with an address… …including fixed and mobile users of radio stations like yours. RMS Internet

Winlink 2000: What is it? Okay. What if the internet is out?

Winlink 2000: What is it? Key assumptions/facts: Failures occur locally, regionally, even across continents. Failures have not occurred globally. Internet technology was designed to make it survive nuclear war. If the Internet totally fails, there are Winlink options

Winlink 2000: What is it? It is the path across an area where conventional communications have been disrupted or overloaded by an incident.

Winlink 2000: What is it? Regional

Winlink 2000: What is it? International

Winlink 2000: What is it? Radio

Winlink 2000: What is it?

Over 65 MARS RMS HF Stations

Winlink 2000: What is it?

To summarize: Winlink 2000 is a robust Worldwide over radio network system - Redundant, globally distributed, Common Message Servers (CMS) - Support local communications with RMS Packet servers - Support distant communications with RMS PACTOR/WINMOR Servers

Winlink 2000: What is it? To summarize: Winlink 2000 is a robust World-wide over radio system Redundant, globally distributed, Central Message Servers (CMS) - Support local communications with RMS Packet servers - Support distant communications with RMS PACTOR Servers Please now let’s shift gears and focus on Winlink 2000 user software

Winlink 2000: User Software There are currently three principal programs users can use to access the Winlink 2000 system: Airmail Paclink RMS Express

Winlink 2000: User Software RMS Express: Newest member of WL2K user software family Supports HF PACTOR, HF WINMOR, VHF/UHF Packet and Telnet Supports RMS Gateways and peer-to-peer connects. Wide variety of TNC types supported, including a generic “KISS” mode. Contains template for over over 700 WX and related products. Contains interface for real-time GPS reporting. Setup is simple with automatic program and frequency list updates. Available at:
