Thanks for replying so quickly, I have checked your list against what I have done so far and I’ve made sure I’ve done it correctly. The only part I haven’t done is connect echolink to a private node, is this something that needs to be done? I currently just have my all-star node setup and echolink configured correctly. I take it this must be right as I can see my echolink node listed on the echolink website and also within the client the problem arises when I try to connect to it. On the asterisk cli I can see my connection attempt but it just times out without any error.

Hi Jon.
I just went though this. I feel your pain. Here is what worked for me.
- Make sure your internet firewall/router is forwarding ports 5198(UDP), 5199 (UDP), and 5200 (TCP) (Possible only a subset of these are needed, I haven’t tested it. This is what the Echolink website suggests and it worked.)
- Make sure your Echolink node is connected to your radio node if you have them on different nodes. My Echolink is node 1999 so from your radio do *31999 to connect the two nodes. If you do not connect them, Echolink will connect an incoming connection but you will not hear it on the radio!
- Make sure you are using different callsigns for Echolink node and your test connection. I set up KD4LQS-L (with Echolink validation) for the Allstar node so that I could connect from my cell phone with my regular callsign.
Also, you will need to test Echolink from a different network. IFAIK You can’t connect from a computer/cellphone on the same network (i.e. your home). I used my cell phone Echolink App but turn off the WiFi so it forces the traffic though the cellular network, through the interweb, back to my home network.
Once you get it working, set a startup macro to connect the Echolink node to the radio node to make the connection survive a reboot.
I’m no expert and don’t know if any/all of these are in the How To’s but they are the last things that I did to make mine work.
