Hi everyone... a newbie here...
I have a NSM2 and an older WRT-54 with the latest firmware up and running. I have changed the AREDN SSID on the NSM2 to "BroadbandHamnet" and now the two nodes seem to recognize each other as I can see them as "current neighbors" on the mesh status screen (both are using CH1). Presently, these two nodes are just set up across the room from each other. Can I assume that because they "see" each other that I can now pass traffic from one node to the other?
Also, I'd like to demo this for local clubs and gov't agencies, so I need a simple application to run. Something as simple as headset voice comms or simple keyboard to keyboard traffic would do for starters. I found reference to TeamSpeak3 on the BBHN site and have downloaded the software. I am in the process of configuring the server but am lost when it comes to the set up of the NSM2 with regard to port forwarding and how that is accomplished. I am new to this and the language is foreign to me.
If any of you are running TeamSpeak3, could you send me a screenshot of how you have set up the port forwarding on the "Port Forwarding, DHCP, and Services" screen? Also, how you set up the "Advertised Services" for TeamSpeak3?
Is there an easier demo application that maybe I should be looking at?
Any help would certainly be appreciated.

Simple Voice Comm Demo?
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
Maybe the simplest is to find two SIP phones that support direct-IP dialing (see other posts in this forum) and just plug them in.
More complex would be something that requires a server. AREDN has an app called VideoChat that uses browsers on each end. It is pretty much plug and play - I have two of them here Of course it has audio in addition to the video.
Next level of complexity is to run a PBX - typical with mesh is a FreePBX running on a raspberry pi. With that you get lots of telephone functions. And you have the ability to use a soft phone (e.g., Zoiper) running on your PC or a hand-held device; you can make calls without a physical telephone instrument.
I couldn't agree more. Not only does this demonstrate 2 way voice; it also shows individual communication; you could have 12 VoIP phones... running 6 discrete telephone calls.... all over one link Not only that, but this also shows the flexibility of the Mesh architecture; where almost any commercial ethernet device will probably work fine over Mesh. In our local demonstrations,,,, the two "wow" parts of the demo always seem to be the telephone call... and an IP addressable camera.
a suggestion for the VoIP phones:

Advertised Services is purely cosmetic, it doesn't have to be set for programs to work but I believe the current uri handler is ts3server:// (more info is probably in the server manual but I haven't read it or set up a TS server in years so will differ to someone else more experienced)
You may need to make sure the encryption is disabled inside of teamspeak.
