Instructions (Desktop Client)
Download the mumble client program
and install and run the program, during the audio set up wizard, please set up mumble to
use
push to talk
mode and
do not use
voice activated
mode
. A good key to use for your push to talk key is the 'right control button' on your keyboard. This way you just hold down the right control button to talk and when you release the button you will stop transmitting your voice (like with a 'walkie talkie').
When the program starts you will be asked to connect to a server click the
Add New
button and enter in the information for the HOT server:
Address: The actual address of the server, enter:
talk.hotosm.org
Port: The port that the server uses, leave this at the default value of:
64738
Username: A username to identify yourself on the server,
please pick one to use
. Username must not have spaces.
Label: This is just a name for the server for yourself, enter:
HOT
This Mumble server is
intended for use by the OpenStreetMap community only
The first time you connect to the talk.hotosm.org mumble server you will receive 2 warnings about the secure connection certificate. The server uses a self-signed SSL certificate that was auto-generated and does not have the host and domain name entered.
After you connect you should be able to talk to other people in the room that you are in, double click on a room to join it, or you can drag your name to the room as well. You can also text chat by typing into the field in the bottom left corner of the Mumble window, or you can set a comment for yourself by right clicking on your name. Please note that text messages might not be easily seen by people who have connected with the mobile client.
How to manually set up push to talk
The instructions below are instructions on how to set up the push to talk key manually.
If you set this up during the audio wizard during the first time you run the program then you should not need to do this. The audio wizard is the easiest way to get these settings correct and therefore is the recommended way.
You can also re-run the audio wizard again after the program is running by going to 'Configure' -> 'Audio Wizard'.
Audio Configuration : Select
Configure
from the top menu and then go to
Settings
Audio Input
Interface, select the audio device
Transmit, select
Push to Talk
Shortcuts
Click to Add a function
Function field
: select Push to Talk function
Shortcut field
: click to place the cursor in the shortcut field, and then select the keyboard shortcut key. The
right control
button for example is easy to push when you want to talk and pressing this button in most programs will not do anything.
Testing your sound and microphone after you have connected
A quick way to test your sound and microphone settings once you have connected to the server, is to join the "Echo room" and speak to the "Echo bot" (if it is there). If everything is ok, you will hear the bot playing back to you whatever you say,
Troubleshooting
Certificates - Using a different computer
When you are using a different computer, you will find cannot log in to HOT server without importing the certificate from your previous computer (the first one when you are successfully logged in to HOT server). This certificate mechanism helps prevent people from creating sock puppet accounts to "stack" the vote and also help prevent people from impersonating another voting member.
First, you need your previous computer, run Mumble and log in into HOT server
Click menu 'Configure --> Certificate Wizard'
Click 'Export current certificate'
Save the certificate and transfer the certificate (*.p12 file) using USB stick
Copy the certificate file to the other computer. Open Mumble, before log in to HOT server, click on menu 'Configure --> Certificate Wizard'
Click 'Import' and browse to your certificate file
Now you're be able to log in to HOT server
Registered accounts
In order to receive access and other privileges, you must have an account registered on the hotosm.org server - some users (especially mobile apps - see below) may need to "self-register", admins cannot do this for you.
Port 64738
If you have a Comcast/Xfinity router, it might be blocking the necessary port (64738) by default. To unblock it, log in to your router and select Firewall from the menu, then either
select Minimum Security and click Save Settings
OR select Custom Security and check only
Block ICMP
Block Multicast
Block IDENT (port113)
leave other options UNchecked
[1]
click Save Settings.
The new settings take effect right away without a router reboot.
Crash on startup on mac
macOS updates can revoke permissions which were granted during mumble install. Mumble needs special permissions to access the system's microphone, and unfortunately this causes a crash on startup.
Grant the necessary permissions in "System Preferences->Security & Privacy->Privacy->Accessibility and restart (
tutorial
). Hopefully mumble developers will fix that at some point (

iOS
Get the Mumble app at the
Apple App Store
It's fairly easy to get going with some basic text chatting and voice chatting on iphone. Fill in the connection fields:
Description  : HOT (or whatever)
Address  :
talk.hotosm.org
Port  :
64738
(leave the default)
Username  : choose a user name to appear as *
Here's a what it looks like when it's working:
*You can choose any user name, and for simplicity to get going, you may want to
not
choose your normal user name which requires certificates. Of course really you should set up certificates to identify yourself with your proper user name. You would need to do this to receive access/other privilege (i.e. enter Membership/Voting/Speaking areas) More instructions to come...
