MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) players needs to communicate while doing raids (missions).
World of Warcraft guilde master are used to run voice servers such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo to talk with team members.
Ventrilo is well suited for small and medium size teams (up to 8 persons max.) to handle the voice exchanges.

Configuration

• Enter your nickname and setup how to pronounce it. It need some tunning to get non-english names to be correctly pronounced. Use phonemes to approach the right pronunciation. Capitals may be used to decompose syllables.

• Choose a name this server ptofile
• Enter your IP or domain name (local IP or DNS for distant users)
• Setup a password to protect

• IMPORTANT: for remote access, you must forward the 3784 port TCP & UDP on your router to your NAS.

• List of members is available on the server

• Ventrilo can use a noise detection or a PTT (push to talk) key combination (recommended during game)

Troubleshooting

• Cannot connect to the Ventrilo server

Remove any password and default channel, enter your server IP and leave port to 3784. Forward the 3784 port TCP & UDP to your NAS IP on your router. This has already solved some problems when using a DNS provider with a dynamic IP.

• Open the Ventrilo Server Console

In a SSH console go to the Ventrilo root folder and type ./ventrilo_srv. In the ventrilo sevrer console type help to get the list of available commands. All connection to the server are reported into the console. This may helps you for debugging.

• Adding a Server Name & Password To The Ventrilo Server

In a SSH console go to the Ventrilo root folder and type vi ventrilo_srv.ini and customize the following lines.

• Name=
  
• Auth=
  
• AdminPassword=
  
• Password=
  

The Name Cannot be blank, or the server will not start up.
I Recommend setting an AdminPassword for personal use, This will give you the ability to have access to the servers Administration abilities through the Ventrilo Client. If you choose to have a required password for users to logon to the Ventrilo Server Set Auth=1 and set the Password field, otherwise as default people will be able to connect to the ventrilo server without the need to enter in a server password.
Restart the Ventrilo Application through the NAS QPKG GUI for changes to apply.
