6.0. Model Services

6.1. Intercoms

Intercom components relate to internal communication paths within the model. This group

includes the communication panel and local intercom buses. Audio on intercom buses is never

transmitted onto the voice network. These buses are used internally to pass audio around. If an

intercom is put in a radio, for example, the audio can be sent out on the DIS network.

Intercoms provide an intercom audio bus structure to which other components can connect for

distributing audio throughout a model and to simulate intercom bus structures in simulation appli-

cations. A network version allows an extension of intercom busses between systems using simula-

tion industry standard DIS or HLA protocols.
