Cut and paste from a document I had on hand.

MOTOTRBO Network Interface Service (MNIS)
The MOTOTRBO Network Interface Service (MNIS) is a Windows service application which
supports data applications such as Text Messaging, Location, Telemetry, and others, without
requiring control stations. It connects with the repeater system over an IP network and utilizes the
repeaters to transmit and receive data messages between data applications and MOTOTRBO
radios.

Multi-Channel Device Driver (MCDD)
For larger systems, an Application Server can be connected to a maximum of 16 control stations.
Each control station is configured to communicate on the specified channel, and acts as the data
gateway for that channel. The MCDD keeps track of which interface each radio is currently using.
Each control station is handled like a different network interface to the Application Server. When
the MCDD sees a registration or other data traffic from a radio, it updates the routing table of the
Application server. In this manner, any data traffic targeted towards that radio is routed through the
correct network interface, therefore through the correct control station and channel. This allows
data applications to simply transmit a data message to the radio, and the MCDD routes the data to
the correct channel. The MCDD is typically installed on the same server that runs the Presence
Notifier application


MOTOTRBO Device Discovery and Mobility Service (DDMS)
The radio’s presence and mobility management is handled separately by the MOTOTRBO Device
Discovery and Mobility Service (DDMS) application. The DDMS can be deployed with either the
MNIS or control station.

It acts as the app layer between third party products to interface directly with the repeater(s).
