A hard link refers to another program
that broadcasts the same content. A

unnoticed for the listener.
 SOFT LINK
A soft link refers to a similar program
e.g. of the same channel group.

sets can be created. However, only
one linkage set can be active at a
time.
 Linkage sets can be dynamically
enabled/disabled via HTTP API or
FTP (Linkage Actuator).
