R The sample config file was getting pretty messy
R with the Windows and Linux differences.
R It would be a maintenance burden to keep most of
R two different versions in sync.
R This common source is now used to generate the
R two different variations while having only a single
R copy of the common parts.
R
R The first column contains one of the following:

R L Linux version only.
R M Macintosh version and possibly others (portaudio used).
R
C#
C# Consult the User Guide for more details on configuration options.
C#
C#
C# These are the most likely settings you might change:
C#
C# (1) MYCALL - call sign and SSID for your station.
C#
C# Look for lines starting with MYCALL and
C# change NOCALL to your own.
C#
C# (2) PBEACON - enable position beaconing.
C#
C# Look for lines starting with PBEACON and
C# modify for your call, location, etc.
C#
C# (3) DIGIPEATER - configure digipeating rules.
C#
C# Look for lines starting with DIGIPEATER.
C# Most people will probably use the given example.
C# Just remove the "#" from the start of the line
C# to enable it.
C#
C# (4) IGSERVER, IGLOGIN - IGate server and login
C#
C# Configure an IGate client to relay messages between
C# radio and internet servers.
C#
C#
C# The default location is "direwolf.conf" in the current working directory.
L# On Linux, the user's home directory will also be searched.
C# An alternate configuration file location can be specified with the "-c" command line option.
C#
C# As you probably guessed by now, # indicates a comment line.
C#
C# Remove the # at the beginning of a line if you want to use a sample
C# configuration that is currently commented out.
C#
C# Commands are a keyword followed by parameters.
C#
C# Command key words are case insensitive. i.e. upper and lower case are equivalent.

C#
C# Many people will simply use the default sound device.
C# Some might want to use an alternative device by chosing it here.
C#
W# When the Windows version starts up, it displays something like
W# this with the available sound devices and capabilities:
W#
W# Available audio input devices for receive (*=selected):
W# * 0: Microphone (C-Media USB Headpho (channel 2)
W# 1: Microphone (Bluetooth SCO Audio
W# 2: Microphone (Bluetooth AV Audio)
W# * 3: Microphone (Realtek High Defini (channels 0 & 1)
W# Available audio output devices for transmit (*=selected):
W# * 0: Speakers (C-Media USB Headphone (channel 2)
W# 1: Speakers (Bluetooth SCO Audio)
W# 2: Realtek Digital Output(Optical)
W# 3: Speakers (Bluetooth AV Audio)
W# * 4: Speakers (Realtek High Definiti (channels 0 & 1)
W# 5: Realtek Digital Output (Realtek
W#
W# Example: To use the microphone and speaker connections on the
W# system board, either of these forms can be used:
W
W#ADEVICE High
W#ADEVICE 3 4
W
W
W# Example: To use the USB Audio, use a command like this with
W# the input and output device numbers. (Remove the # comment character.)
W#ADEVICE USB
W
W# The position in the list can change when devices (e.g. USB) are added and removed.
W# You can also specify devices by using part of the name.
W# Here is an example of specifying the USB Audio device.
W# This is case-sensitive. Upper and lower case are not treated the same.
W
W#ADEVICE USB
W

L# Linux ALSA is complicated. See User Guide for discussion.
L# To use something other than the default, generally use plughw
L# and a card number reported by "arecord -l" command. Example:
L
L# ADEVICE plughw:1,0
L
L# Starting with version 1.0, you can also use "-" or "stdin" to
L# pipe stdout from some other application such as a software defined
L# radio. You can also specify "UDP:" and an optional port for input.
L# Something different must be specified for output.
L
M# Macintosh Operating System uses portaudio driver for audio
M# input/output. Default device selection not available. User/OP
M# must configure the sound input/output option. Note that
M# the device names can contain spaces. In this case, the names
M# must be enclosed by quotes.
M#
M# Examples:
M#
M# ADEVICE "USB Audio Codec:6" "USB Audio Codec:5"
M#
M#
W# ADEVICE - 0

C# On HF SSB, you might want to use multiple demodulators on slightly different
C# frequencies to compensate for stations off frequency. Here we have 7 different
C# demodulators at 30 Hz intervals. This takes a lot of CPU power so you will
C# probably need to reduce the audio sampling rate with the /n option.

C# For the PTT command, specify the device and either RTS or DTR.
C# RTS or DTR may be preceded by "-" to invert the signal.

C# VIRTUAL TNC SERVER PROPERTIES #
C# #
C#############################################################
C
C#
C# Dire Wolf acts as a virtual TNC and can communicate with
C# client applications by different protocols:
C#
C# - the "AGW TCPIP Socket Interface" - default port 8000
C# - KISS protocol over TCP socket - default port 8001
W# - KISS TNC via serial port
L# - KISS TNC via pseudo terminal (-p command line option)
C#
C
CAGWPORT 8000
CKISSPORT 8001
C
W#
W# Some applications are designed to operate with only a physical
W# TNC attached to a serial port. For these, we provide a virtual serial
W# port that appears to be connected to a TNC.
W#
W# Take a look at the User Guide for instructions to set up
W# two virtual serial ports named COM3 and COM4 connected by
W# a null modem.
W#
W# Using the configuration described, Dire Wolf will connect to
W# COM3 and the client application will use COM4.
W#
W# Uncomment following line to use this feature.

C# BEACONING PROPERTIES #
C# #
C#############################################################
C
C
C#
C# Beaconing is configured with these two commands:
C#
C# PBEACON - for a position report (usually yourself)
C# OBEACON - for an object report (usually some other entity)
C#
C# Each has a series of keywords and values for options.
C# See User Guide for details.
C#
C# Example:
C#
C# This results in a broadcast once every 10 minutes.
C# Every half hour, it can travel via two digipeater hops.
C# The others are kept local.
C#
C
C#PBEACON delay=1 every=30 overlay=S symbol="digi" lat=42^37.14N long=071^20.83W power=50 height=20 gain=4 comment="Chelmsford MA" via=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1
C#PBEACON delay=11 every=30 overlay=S symbol="digi" lat=42^37.14N long=071^20.83W power=50 height=20 gain=4 comment="Chelmsford MA"
C#PBEACON delay=21 every=30 overlay=S symbol="digi" lat=42^37.14N long=071^20.83W power=50 height=20 gain=4 comment="Chelmsford MA"
C
C
C# With UTM coordinates instead of latitude and longitude.
C
C#PBEACON delay=1 every=10 overlay=S symbol="digi" zone=19T easting=307477 northing=4720178
C
C
C#
C# When the destination field is set to "SPEECH" the information part is
C# converted to speech rather than transmitted as a data frame.
C#
C
C#CBEACON dest="SPEECH" info="Club meeting tonight at 7 pm."
C
C# Similar for Morse code. If SSID is specified, it is multiplied
C# by 2 to get speed in words per minute (WPM).
C
C#CBEACON dest="MORSE-6" info="de MYCALL"
C
C
C#
C# Modify for your particular situation before removing
C# the # comment character from the beginning of appropriate lines above.

C# DIGIPEATER PROPERTIES #
C# #
C#############################################################
C
C#
C# For most common situations, use something like this by removing
C# the "#" from the beginning of the line below.
C#
C
C#DIGIPEAT 0 0 ^WIDE[3-7]-[1-7]$|^TEST$ ^WIDE[12]-[12]$ TRACE
C
C# See User Guide for more explanation of what this means and how
C# it can be customized for your particular needs.
C
C# Filtering can be used to limit was is digipeated.
C# For example, only weather weather reports, received on channel 0,
C# will be retransmitted on channel 1.

C# #
C# INTERNET GATEWAY #
C# #
C#############################################################
C
C# First you need to specify the name of a Tier 2 server.
C# The current preferred way is to use one of these regional rotate addresses:
C
C# noam.aprs2.net - for North America
C# soam.aprs2.net - for South America
C# euro.aprs2.net - for Europe and Africa
C# asia.aprs2.net - for Asia
C# aunz.aprs2.net - for Oceania
C
C#IGSERVER noam.aprs2.net
C
C# You also need to specify your login name and passcode.
C# Contact the author if you can't figure out how to generate the passcode.
C
C#IGLOGIN WB2OSZ-5 123456
C
C# That's all you need for a receive only IGate which relays
C# messages from the local radio channel to the global servers.
C
C# Some might want to send an IGate client position directly to a server
C# without sending it over the air and relying on someone else to
C# forward it to an IGate server. This is done by using sendto=IG rather
C# than a radio channel number. Overlay R for receive only, T for two way.
C
C#PBEACON sendto=IG delay=0:30 every=60:00 symbol="igate" overlay=R lat=42^37.14N long=071^20.83W
C#PBEACON sendto=IG delay=0:30 every=60:00 symbol="igate" overlay=T lat=42^37.14N long=071^20.83W
C
C
C# To relay messages from the Internet to radio, you need to add
C# one more option with the transmit channel number and a VIA path.
C
C#IGTXVIA 0 WIDE1-1
C
C# You might want to apply a filter for what packets will be obtained from the server.
C# Read about filters here: http://www.aprs-is.net/javaprsfilter.aspx
C# Example, positions and objects within 50 km of my location:
C
C#IGFILTER m/50
C
C# That is known as a server-side filter. It is processed by the IGate server.
C# You can also apply local filtering to limit what will be transmitted on the
C# RF side. For example, transmit only "messages" on channel 0 and weather
C# reports on channel 1.
C
C#FILTER IG 0 t/m
