[arm-allstar] Echolink reconnect problems

[LaRoy McCann]

I have noticed several times that after a loss of the internet 
connection or sometimes a power outage,
the allstar controller will not show up as an active echolink node.

I can restart asterisk and it will show up in a couple of minutes.

This allstar node always reconnects to another allstar node after 
loosing connection.

The network ip is always the same.  It gets a reserved ip from my router 
and my router has a static ip.

The controller is a Beagleboard Black, node 41741.  The echolink id is 
K5TW-R.

If I do a show channels when echolink is not working, this is what I get.

/k5tw-rpt1*CLI> show channels//
//Channel              Location             State Application(Data)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-3255347 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//IAX2/96.43.56.30:456 (None)               Up Apprpt((Remote Rx))//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1990329 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1839917 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-3351124 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1325366 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-8864025 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-2025254 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1792296 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1554847 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-5796975 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-1981251 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//DAHDI/pseudo-2864712 s at default:1          Rsrvd   (None)//
//SimpleUSB/usb        s at default:1          Up Apprpt((Repeater Rx))//
//DAHDI/pseudo-4106066 s at default:1          Up Apprpt((Repeater Rx))//
//15 active channels//
//0 active calls/

I am not sure if this command would show the echolink connection it it 
was working as I have not restarted asterisk yet.
I would like to try and figure out what is going on with this before I 
restart asterisk.

The message log fie show this one entry for echolink.

/[root at k5tw-rpt1 asterisk]# cat messages | grep echolink//
//[Dec 31 18:00:41] ERROR[346] chan_echolink.c: Unable to resolve 
echolink APRS server IP address/

If the echolink server is not available to register with, does 
chan_echholink.c try to reconnect later or does it just error out and die?

Sorry for the long post.

LaRoy McCann, K5TW
