In addition to VHF and HF connections, there is a Telnet option that connects using the internet, providing an opportunity to learn the program prior to integrating it with your radio. Winlink operates much as an E-mail program and has many standardized forms such as used by the Red Cross and Incident Command System (ICS) forms used by FEMA and local EMAs. This gives a valuable capability when internet is down in a local area, allowing stations to connect to HF gateways outside of the impacted area. There are also Hybrid gateways that will relay messages when the internet is down. When a receiving station connects to the system, the CMS sends the message to the RMS that the receiving station is logged in to. The RMS gateway forwards that message to one of two redundant Common Message Servers (CMS) via internet. A station connects via RF to a VHF or HF node known as a Radio Message Server (RMS) Gateway. Winlink is a digital mode used primarily as a store and forward messaging system.
