TCP/IP Over Radio - PE Pro Settings
First, be sure you have installed
the TCP/IP Over
Radio (TOR) driver to create a "virtual" network adapter.
If you don't first install the driver and try to enable TOR in PE Pro,
you will get an error message.
Then, use PE Pro's left margin menu
(or the top menu under
OTHER)
to select TCP/IP Over Radio to bring up a
screen that looks like this:

Configure the screen as follows:
- Click on Enable TCPIP over Radio
- remember that if the
TOR driver are not successfully installed, you will get
an error message when you close this window.
- Setup Routes: Only used if you want exchange information with
other TOR stations using a radioport different from the
default radio port (see below). Even so, it would
be better to use the
Windows ARP table to specify a different radio port
for a different callsign.
Registration Number: Not needed if you run PE
Pro for 45 minutes or less using the TOR feature. To use
TOR for more than 45 minutes at a time,
contact the program author to
request a free "TCP/IP Over Radio Registration Number". Please give
your name, callsign, and mention that you are a
registered PE Pro user. (Users of the AGWPE program must
pay a fee for this number.)
Radio: Select the default PE Pro radioport (TNC and radio
combination) to be used for the TCP/IP Over Radio link
to other stations. To avoid possible problems, do not select "use
all ports".
My Call: enter your callsign; add a SSID number if you
wish, e.g. SV2AGW-4.
Via Path: enter the
callsigns of any digipeaters you will need to
relay your packet to your destination. If more than one
is needed, use a comma to separate the callsigns.
PacLen: Try 300 for 1200 baud
packet and 576 for 9600 baud packet. PE Pro will
parse all TCP/IP data into AX.25 packets of this size.
If your signal path is good and there is little traffic,
you can try increasing the PacLen. Alternatively,
decrease PacLen if your path or traffic is creating
difficulties (slow downs). (Note: Windows may ignore
your settings and pick its own.)
Pass all IP traffic to MS TCPIP stack:
generally this should be left unchecked. If you
check it, PE Pro will forward all received TCP/IP packets
to Windows, including supervisory packets and
packets not addressed to you. This is
usually not necessary and may slow down your connection. You
should only
enable it if you understand the
implications and have a good reason to use it, e.g.
you are routing / digitpeating packets.
Allow Broadcast Messages:
generally this should be left unchecked. Broadcast messages
are network management TCP/IP packets that Windows sends over
a network. They will result in very long packet
transmissions. These are not necessary
for TCP/IP Over Radio, unless you intend to allow others to
access a shared folder on your hard drive.

button to save your settings.
