 == D-Bus connection ==
 
+Per default the daemon creates a connection "'''openbm.ibus.BMW'''" on the D-Bus. In the current version there is only support for simple raw message passing with slightly format change. So on every received message over the IBus the daemon send a signal message to the D-Bus:
+{{{
+signal sender=xxx -> dest=(null destination) serial=xxx path=/openbm/ibus/BMW; interface=openbm.ibus; member=RawMessage
+   byte 192
+   byte 104
+   uint32 2
+   array [
+      byte 50
+      byte 16
+   ]
+}}}
+Here the first byte of the signal indicates the '''source''' node of the IBus, here 192=0xC0, and the second byte indicates the '''destination''' node, here 104=0x68. The third component of the message is always an unsigned integer indicating the amount of '''data''' passed with the message, in this example 2 bytes. And lastly an array containing the data bytes is submitted, in this case {50=0x32, 16=0x10}. 
+
+Signals in this form received over the D-Bus are accepted by OpenBM-Gateway and translated into IBus message frames and sent over the wire.
