Installation
SylkServer is packaged and ready to use on Debian and Ubuntu Linux. Alternatively, you can download its source code and build the package yourself, install it the python way or run it from its download directory without installing it.
Linux Binary Packages
Install or upgrade SylkServer
sudo apt-get install sylkserver
Running the server
Set in /etc/default/syslkserver:
To configure the general server settings edit /etc/sylkserver/config.ini
To configure the conference application edit /etc/sylkserver/conference.ini
To configure the XMPP gateway application edit /etc/sylkserver/xmppgateway.ini.

Start the server:
Logging
Activity messages are logged to syslog.
SIP and MSRP protocol traces can be enabled in config.ini
Listening ports
SylkServer must run on a public IP address reachable directly by the SIP clients. If SylkServer is installed behind NAT using a private IP address, only clients from the same LAN can make use of it.
By default SylkServer listens for incoming connections on the following ports:
| Component | Ports | Transport |
|---|---|---|
| SIP signaling | 5060 | UDP, TCP |
| SIP signaling | 5061 | TLS |
| RTP media | 50000:50500 | UDP |
| MSRP media | 2855 | TLS |
| WEB media | random >1024 | TLS |
| XMPP signaling and media | 5269 | TLS |
The server is also initiating outbound connections for both signaling and media.
