[Allstar Digital] HBlink, DMRlink and IPSC Did he say IPSC?

[Steve Zingman]

This is a little early since the code has not yet been checked into the 
repositories.
Mike N4IRR and I have been working on adding the ability to connect HB 
Protocol systems (MMDVM, DVMega and OpenSpot) to connect to IPSC based 
systems (Motorola XPR, SL etc.)
We have it working in beta test now.

As with everything HBlink and DMRlink, there are many ways to configure 
connections. Some of the possible:

1: Setup a MMDVM based system to connect directly to a IPSC Master. 
(Each MMDVM system runs HBlink and DMRlink)
2: Run a HBlink Master for all your MMDVM based systems to connect to. 
Make one or more connections to a IPSC Master
3: Run a HBlink Master for all your MMDVM based systems to connect to. 
Add a IPSC Master for one or more IPSC Peers

We have created a new naming convention that we think better describes 
each application function. They are referred to as Partners.
Analog_bridge (formerly DMRGateway) uses the DV3000 to encode and decode 
AMBE frames to and from analog audio. This could be ASL or a local 
microphone and speaker.
IPSC_bridge (formerly ambe_audio) communicates with a Partner and builds 
IPSC frames to connect to a c-Bridge or Motorola repeater.
HBlink now has a new application. It is called HB_bridge. HB_bridge 
communicates with a Partner and builds HB frames to connect to a BM 
Master or a MMDVMHost based system.

Examples:
ASL <---> Analog_bridge <---> Partner
c-Bridge <---> IPSC_bridge <---> Partner
MMDVMHost <---> HB_bridge <---> Partner

MMDVMHost <---> HB_bridge <---> IPSC_bridge <---> c-Bridge

More to follow. More Partners to follow.
The announcement of DMRGateway from G4KLX will add even more to this matrix

For DVSwitch,
