Using Radiomail + TNC to connect P2P to another station (Android+WOAD+TNC)

I’m trying to do a P2P connection between two stations:

  1. iPhone / RadioMail connected to a ESP32+LoRa (as TNC over BLE)
  2. Android /WOAD connected to a ESP32+LoRa (as TNC over BT Classic)

after many “fights” and changing settings i could make the RadioMail start session connection with the WOAD station… data is sent and also received on both stations, but not complete the connection.

And I just realized that P2P is on the road map for future development, right?

CA2RXU.

RadioMail can initiate outbound connections to another station in a peer-to-peer (P2P) scenario. At present, it does not accept inbound connections; inbound support is what is described on the roadmap.

At the protocol level, P2P connections are not materially different from other connection types. The key distinction lies in how recipients are handled. Messages marked for P2P delivery are transmitted only during an active session with the intended recipient. This is because P2P stations are not assumed to have connectivity to a CMS for onward delivery. For the same reason, internet email recipients are not permitted in P2P messages.

Just to be sure as how to configure this P2P connection, should i set RadioMail:

Station: the other station/addressee
Mode: packet
Dial Fred: 434.500 MHz (should not matter here?)
BaudRate: 1200 (should not matter here?)
Excecute Script: disabled

Settings:
on my account: my callsing
Devices> Packet Kiss TNC Modem > Default TNC (the ESP32S3+LoRa BLE TNC)
all else default

Then the process would be to send a message to the station addressee and connect to it to be sanded?

sorry if this is basic info , but I’m a little confused on this…

Yes that is correct.
