EchoLink

EchoLink
So, learning to run before I can walk :)… With my newfound enthusiasm and a debian install. I wanted to test out functionality figured an easy way was to see about getting EchoLink working as well.

So I added the echolink.conf file, made the changes for my specific EchoLink node and restarted. However I get all these errors about not being able to connect to their servers, header information not being correct, etc.

I did some scanning and found that others have experiences the same thing. Anyone have this working on a recent install?

Second, is there some type of echo conference bridge or reflector (Sorry for the use of the term, but it’s appropriate)… I need some way to test audio without being live on the air, etc?

Well echo link has node 9999 you can ry for echo test

With that setup I get these errors which have been discussed before… and it doesn’t matter if I change the server names to naeast.echolink.org, etc.

I’ll go look to see if there have been changes to the chan_echolink.c file that I’m not running but I just built everything with the distribution makefile yesterday. This was talked about on this forum last year, but I never found a resolution other than it worked for some and not for others…???

It is not unusual for one of the echolink servers to be down; as long as you can talk to one of them, it should work.

I think that, after you come on line, it may be some time before you can actually USE the echolink feature, while you wait for their system to updpate.

Incorrect header information is another story - if you post your configuration (minus the password) maybe someone will see a problem - or not - in which case there was some compile issue …

if you are talking about the UDP ports (5198 and 5199), then yes, but this would be a TCP issue as I’m sure there is some connection that is made (outbound from me to a registration server) and that I would assume would be on a TCP connection… Outbound connections are not blocked by my router and I have the UDP ports forwarded as noted above and still the same error responses.

I didn’t, but it’s an outgoing requested port so I shouldn’t need to forward it… I will, but because the allstar box, connects to it, and via TCP, it shouldn’t need to be forwarded…

BTW, from that box I can issue a telnet server1.echolink.org 5200 and get a connection, so that part isn’t port forwarding related….At this point it seems it has to do with the build…. hmm… betting it’s a library enhancement that hasn’t been addressed…. Still debugging… The connect is failing most of the time… Wonder if putting those IP to names in the hosts file would help it… gonna try that now.
