Serval over SECN/Wildernets

[ICS Regina]

Hello,

 

Has anyone had any success getting Serval to call MP2.0 telephones, and vice versa?

 

Cheers.

Hello,

I don't think that anyone has attempted this.  Recent versions of Serval use VoMP as the calling protocol instead of SIP.  There is a VoMP to SIP gateway, but you would need to compile that into the MPs for it to work so that there is a bridge between the Mesh Potato world and the Serval protocol world.

Thanks Paul,

So would that be VOMP on all the VT devices, or just the "SIP master"?

That probably depends a bit on your deployment.  You will need at least one VoMP gateway somewhere, obviously.

If you have a number of MPs and you want the Serval phones to hang off those as Wi-Fi clients, then you probably need servald running on all of those MPs, so that they can route the VoMP traffic to the VoMP:SIP gateway. This shouldn't be too hard to setup.  It also isn't much harder to have the servald integrated with Asterix on the MP so that each MP that will have serval phones hanging off it is a VoMP:SIP gateway.  This approach would also mean that you could try it on one MP, and then roll it out to others as you have need.  

A side benefit of doing this via any of these means is that you get the SMS-like functionality of Serval, so that you aren't restricted to just phone calls.  Your use-case will dictate whether that is important or not.

Hello,

 

And with Serval running on all the MPs, the MP hard line phones could basically be used as Serval phones themselves.  No? 

 

Thanks.

Yes, you could set it up that way.

Paul.

 

Thanks.
