In this network topology, all the MP01 is an extension and act as mesh node also.
And VT Server is installed Afrimesh and act as a visualization server. We use
IP08 as Asterisk server, and all the MP01 are registered to IP08.
The feature of this system is:
Every MP01 has a WiFi IP and a phone number, the phone number is the
same as the last digit of the WiFi IP, for example, the Mesh node A has a WiFi
IP 10.130.1.50 and a phone number 50.
Every MP01 can be a reply for other MP01. It means even MP01 B can‟t
reach MP01 C directly, it can be still possible to reach MP01 C via MP01 A.
MP01 can not only make internal calls, but international calls through IP08.
It is very convenient to manage the mesh network on the VT Server.
Any computer on the network should be able to talk to any other computer
on the network. For example a computer connected to mesh node A should
be able to download content from a web server connected to mesh node C.
Computers connected to the MP01 by Ethernet port can access the Internet.
The following steps will show you the configurations.
