SVXLink

Note for owners of SVXLink nodes running TetraLogic

  • Please use latest version of SVXLink software.

  • Please use the same CALLSIGN in [ReflectorLogic] and [TetraLogic] to make our bridges pass talker ISSI correctly.

Note for owners of SVXReflector servers for TETRA

  • Please use latest version of SVXReflector (at least 16082023) software.

  • Reflector to Reflector links does not pass originating ISSI.

Administrating SVXLink bridges

Disclaimer about information bellow

  • DockStation is only available on the same host as TetraPack Core, so the target of following information in this article is a server administrator.

  • DockLogic is an external Logic module is supplied outside SVXLInk.

Modules

  • DockLogic.so - SVXLink Logic module that implements our own Dock IPC protocol, uses our own library CodecPack.so
  • DockLogic.tcl - Supplementary script, required by SVXLink
