SETTING UP WINLINK EXPRESS FOR MESH NETWORK

RMS Relay is installed as a stand-alone Post Office.  It has no connection to the internet, as is the nature of the Mesh Network.  As a result, any message sent via Mesh will be stored on RMS Relay (on the Mesh Network) until the addressee is on the Mesh, and starts up Winlink Express and has a Telnet Post Office Session Open with the following settings:

Session Type:  Telnet Post Office

Server Name:  POST OFFICE-MESH-AA3JC

IP Address:  10.198.223.83

Port:  8772

Polling Time:  (Optional) Disabled for manual Post Office Mail Check or via automatic based on time.  Recommended:  2 minutes

To setup Telnet Post Office follow the below instructions:

1.      Open Winlink Express

2.     In the Drop-Down box to the right of “Open Session” click the down arrow, and select “Telnet Post Office”.

3.     Click “Open Session” near the top right of Winlink Window.

4.     In the new window, click “Add Server”.

5.     Populate with info from above.

6.     For field “Polling Time” This is the time between Winlink automatically checks RMS Relay Server for messages.  It is your option. If left to default “Disabled” Winlink Express will not automatically check for new messages, and require you to click on “Open Session” and click “Start”. 

7.     Click “Save”.

8.     Now you are ready to send/receive mail thru RMS Relay on the Mesh.
